Once a legendary resort estate, sizing 225 Acres land, you can still feel its majestic elegance back those days. It is with such isolated beauty that we still treasure it as a place to be defended and willing to share with our guests feeling the same. Currently we have 2 family bungalows at the lake, about 75sqm, each with an open kitchen equipped with an oven, microwave oven and cooktop. Around the lake, we also have 12 lakefront rooms under 6 cabins, each cabin has 2 rooms about 35sqm and all contain a private bathroom. In our main complex where our reception is located, we have 17 verandah rooms overlooking the grassland, old tennis court, rose garden and hills. Each verandah room has a private and spacious bathroom, about 40sqm. You are welcomed to walk around our estate to explore the wilderness and 100% natural and organic scenery. We have lakefront cabins and family bungalows overlooking the lake with black swans, ducks, geese, coots and others. From the lake you can wander around to the hilltop for sunsets and other picturesque experiences.

Getting Around: Map: The main complex includes most of the rooms with verandah, under the same roof as our old Stonelea restaurant, the reception and the bars where we prefer to keep closed due to the impact of COVID-19. Along the deck at the front entrance when you walk to turn the corner, you will see the rose garden and the hill. To go to the lakefront rooms, you just step down and they are on the left side down the rose garden. At the end of the lakefront cabins are the family bungalows/cabins. Around the lake and down our hills, you will find kangaroos, black swans, geese, ducks, birds and other wild ones you barely would be any closer elsewhere. They are friendly, welcoming and entertaining. Other Things to Note: Old carpet and furniture as part of our charm. Family cabin: we advise you to take your own firewood, cooking utensils as we have limited amenities in the kitchen, in which way you are prepared to have a perfect stay. Lakefront rooms are also spacious, easy access to nature, full of light and views of greens. Comfortable and firm bedding! Big land for outdoor activities We are keen to minimise labour cost and make it more affordable for our guests. There might be dirt around the deck and some common areas because of the generosity of lands we have and how abundant animals are conquering this place as their home. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Microwave - Refrigerator - Stovetop ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden ### Work spaces - Desk - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105260000/105256600/105256524/20d7630d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Glasshouse at Lake Eildon Taylor Bay - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi 8.8 Excellent 5 reviews CA $732 CA $1,210 total includes taxes & fees Oct 9 - Oct 10 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=105256524&PinnedHotelID=105256524&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/81000000/80950000/80944700/80944607/1233848a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Acheron Valley Country Retreat Lakefront Rooms (LR) Acheron - Air conditioning - Parking available - Fireplace - Mountain view [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=80944607&PinnedHotelID=80944607&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33560000/33558000/33557909/69a9435e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Taylor Bay Waterfront Retreat Lake Eildon Taylor Bay - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 8.8 Excellent 34 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=33557909&PinnedHotelID=33557909&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 2:00 PM ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds This property does not allow children ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed This property accepts cash Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property Safety features at this property include a fire extinguisher This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.
