Watch Koalas and Roos right from your backyard

Located within walking distance to the Raymond Island Ferry, this holiday home provides fantastic access to all of Raymond Island and Paynesville village. Enjoy a short walk to a family-friendly, sheltered cove that is perfect for paddling, follow the meandering boardwalk along the lakefront, or try a spot of sightseeing for koalas along the Koala Trail at the end of the road.

Just 800 m from the main esplanade of Paynesville, the property boasts a fully equipped kitchen, tasteful modern furnishings, an open living area, 2 private bedrooms and bathrooms, along with access to a jetty berth for those planning to get out on the lakes.  

Enjoy a BBQ get-together in the spacious backyard with an undercover eating area, or enjoy watching a movie by the indoor fireplace (BYO Wood). It’s the perfect getaway in all seasons.

Island life amongst the koalas
House accurately described with modern comfortable amenities. Backing onto nature reserve but unable to sit outside due to excessive mosquito activity. Mosquitoes bad inside upon arrival and no insect spray provided. First purchase from mainland next day! Unfortunately this did impact on our enjoyment of the property. Very safe enclosed garden for our dog.
