"An absolute gem on the water. The spa bath was the highlight after long walks along the boardwalk. Spotless apartment, thoughtful touches, will return."

We hired bikes last minute for the day, one day before, in July so low season. Our email inquiry to the hosts was answered the same day. When we picked up the bikes, Will met us and set us up with bikes and helmets and made some last minute adjustments to the bikes for us. Will was very friendly and easy to chat with and his service is amazing! Highly recommended for bike or kayak rentals in Paynesville.

The place was wonderful! Conveniently located to the local shops, and only a 15 min drive to Bairnsdale. Great facilities in the complex and the apartment itself was so modern and clean. We joined our stay thoroughly. Highly recommend if you are looking to stay in the area.
