Welcome to Gippsland Holidays
Paynesville sits on the edge of the Gippsland Lakes, one of Australia's largest inland waterway systems, and it is exactly the kind of place where the water sets the rhythm for everything. Mornings start at the jetty. Afternoons disappear on the water. Evenings find you at the BBQ watching the light change over the canals.
Gippsland Holidays manages a collection of self-contained apartments and a private holiday home within the Captains Cove Resort precinct, all within a short walk of the heated indoor pool, private jetties, and our hire equipment reception. Every property comes with self check-in so your holiday starts the moment you arrive.
