This luxurious and stunning holiday accommodation is situated on the Gippsland Lakes, and has a huge deck that juts out over the Paynesville canals. Views of the mountains, passing boats and an outdoor fireplace complete the experience.

doesn’t have to be any better.
We spent a wonderful weekend with another family at Gippsland Lakehouse, 3 hours from Melbourne. We fell in love with this place and the amazing outlook over the water, and literally had to drag ourselves away from the sunny deck. It was hard to beat sitting next to the outdoor fireplace with a couple of bottles of red, gazing at the stars – heaven! Highlight: seeing a pod of Dolphins.
We enjoyed a fabulous family weekend away with three generations
at this
architecturally stunning house on the lakes which has everything to keep
everybody
happy. While the younger members of the group spent the afternoons out on
the water in
the boat, we were happy to relax on the sun lounges on the deck watching
the changing
colours on the water and the passing boats. We ate almost every meal
outside, and even
though the evenings were a little cooler we had the open fireplace to
keep us warm.
Highly recommended and we WILL be back!

Beautiful place… Right on the water…
Everything is perfect! Highly recommended.
Nothing more gorgeous than waking up to the sounds of water lapping and waterbirds just outside the windows. Lovely spot- can’t wait to go back and experience the Lakehouse! Thanks for the opportunity
Beautiful atmousphere, modern and stylish. Perfect for families. Loved the outdoor setting next to the fireplace.
Absolutely amazing. I spoke about this place for weeks afterwards and i am still looking forward to my next stay. Will definately stay there again.
My family and I had an amazing time at the deck house. It is without a doubt the most luxurious holiday home that I have stayed in. Everthing was accounted for, even the private jetty – which was handy. We took up our boat and the boys went fishing whilst the girls stayed in with the kids. We relaxed by the oudoor OFP in the evenings sipping wine and listening to the amazing wildlife. I would definatley recommend this holiday home to anyone who demands quality. Thank you, we will be back!
Loved it, absolutely loved it. Its a beautiful home away from home and has a great atmosphere. Hope to be back there again sometime.
Stunning all round.. Can’t wait to go back
This is a dream place. Definately worth visiting.
Can’t wait to get back there!
Enjoyed my stay and staff were very friendly.
summer/winter feel – lakes and mountains all at once – gorgeous!
Perfect place to have a Holiday
This place is heavenly. The decking is a great place to entertain with friends even in winter with the OFP which adds to the ambience. Highly recommended
We love the Lakes area and would love to try this accomodation one day soon.It looks fantastic and aesy to take!
A deam house with every thing you need. What more could any one want!
This place is simply wonderful!
Great House in a “hidden jewel’ of a location on Gippsland’s best waterways, Reiviera Harbours at Paynesville.
Pleasure to be able to highly recommend this accomondation.
The architecturally designed house looked fantastic as I pulled up to the jetty on the Enterprise and picked up their guests for their cruise.
fantastic outlook and a great part of Victoria., well worth a visit, you will love it,
Michael
Looks great. Certainly consider for future holiday!
What a fabulous place – who need to go O/S when ther is accommodation of this standard in such a superb place.
Was a wonderful place to take my girlfriend for our 3 1/2 year annaversery, everything was taken care of excellent service wonderfull people and allround great place!!
A fabulous venue for the extended family & friends to celebrate a birthday/special occasion – come by boat or car! Everything we needed to play, relax, cook, clean, etc. was provided. Will be booking again! Liked the idea of booking both houses for a large group, too.
What a glorious place. ALL the beauty nature has to offer on the outside and the simplicity and beauty of what man has to offer on the inside.
Have’nt stayed here yet , but sounds like a great place to stay
in a great area.. pretty good all around I’d say
What a winner this place is, especially since so many people have already voted for it. It’s beautiful and relaxing.
Have a anniversary coming up,and it looks the perfect place to spend it.
it is so relaxing and the lakes are just magnificent, theres no other place like it
regards, Isabelle Maki
Pour a pinot, prop up your feet, lean back and just observe – enchanting any hour 24/7.
absolutly stunning love this place well worth going to situated in the best place
We love beautiful Gipplsand – and this just adds to the many wonderful attractions in the area.
Paynesville is a great place for a boating holiday on the Gippsland lakes. Park your boat at the jetty and stay in luxury. The Gippsland Lakes has much to offer.
The ideal place to go when you want to get away from it all. Also located ina great part of Victoria.
This looks very relaxing and have never been to the Gippsland area as yet in our travels in Aussie and this spot looks fantastic – would be nice to experience that Gippsland adventure.
Have heard sooo much about it and seen it – looks just great and we will have our next anniversary there
Is totally a relaxing and rejuvenating place to stay – thoroughly enjoyable
I’ve been coming to the The Gippsland Lakes for 30 years. It caters for all ages and fits in nicely with my own need of peace and quiet. When friends and relatives visit there is a great variety of recreational activities to take part in from walking to water skiing, reading to dining out, driving to flying, meeting the locals to participating in their community activities. Finally it is an easy four hour drive from Melbourne on reasonable roads.
I just loved it there – so beautiful, so peaceful, such a great location (and we had left the children at home) – aaah heaven
It was more than a holiday – it was comfort, elegance and enjoyment of self and with friends and with nature
on the water in Paynesville this is a great place to base a boating holiday exploring the Gippsland lakes. Bring your boat and park it out front and stay in comfort . The best of both worlds. Some of our family do not like boating so they stay on land and enjoy this great house. The rest of us go out boating all day.
What a magnificent view! and right on the water
A wonderful place to put the feet up, relax and take in the scenery. Highly recommended but hard to leave.
Paynesville is a great place to stay. Boating, fishing, plenty of places to eat looking over the water. Golf close at hand and winter temperatures and sunshine rivalling Mildura in the monthe\s of June and July. Do not bypass it by going straight to Lakes Entrance.A must sojourn.
paynesville is a great base to explore the gippsland lakes and staying on the canals means you can go boating from your front door. This house is a beautifull well set up holiday machine. Made for relaxing!
A must for anyone whether its your first time to the region or just want somewhere different to stay its a lovelly place to go.
What an amazing location, check out the views, a must visit location!
Superb accommodation, with views of Gods own country.
We chose the Lakehouse to celebrate a milestone wedding anniverary. The accommodation was excellent, the food delicious and the ambiance delightful. The whole family voted it a really lovely experience. If only we could all return…
A truly wonderful area to visit at any time of the year
Gorgeous setting, the lake is beautiful and the wineries just keep on coming! Loved the space and would recommend to anyone!
Had a brilliant long weekend with friends in this superb house at this stunning location.We enjoyed beautiful walks in the gorgeous town. The house had everything we needed and more, the outside decking with the barbecue and outdoor fireplace was an absolute highlight. We loved this place so much that when we returned the keys we re-booked for the same time next year and can’t wait to get back and have another relaxing weekend with our friends.
Great House with great location on the water ! Very well appointed and comfortable. Highly recommended………..
What a SENSATIONAL house in a great location. The house is right by the water with beautiful views. It is elegant and luxurious…..(better amenities than our own house)….didn’t want to leave at the end. Cannot recommend it highly enough…..if there is a vacancy……..don’t even hesitate!!
have been to the lakes.looks like a great place to stay.would consider it for next holidays.
Very relaxing!!
Great accommodation which hosted the whole family very well. Lots of room, beautiful finishes and furniture. Can’t wait to get back!
Fantastic place for a getaway. Can highly recommend!
The house is absolutely stunning and a great location for a fabulous family holiday
A great destination to soak up the atmosphere and tranquility of this beautiful part of Victoria. Exquisite accommodation with gorgeous views.
Absolutely stunning house, all the mod cons, plenty of space, a great entertainer. Highly recommended..
Paynesville is the best holiday destination in Australia and this is one of the best places in Paynesville
This is a truly delightful place…it’s position,its spaciousness & its style all contribute to making it a very special place to stay.
total relaxation just what we needed
A most perfect location for a romantic weekend away!
Stunning sunsets from the balcony.
Amazing Views! Great place to unwind and relax.
Brilliant place to chill out with family or friends. Great deck and the outside fireplace makes it great for any season. Certainly worth the trip!
Great place to relax and rejuvinate.
highly recommend you spoil yourself.
Absolutely stunning house, with all your needs catered for, fantastic location, great for relaxing on the balcony in the sun for breakfast or afternoon drinks with family & friends, with beautiful views of the canel and gippsland lakes, a jetty right out the front to moor our boat, what more could you ask for. Brian & Jenny are wonderful hosts, very friendly and easy to deal with, we had a fantastic time very relaxing.
Amazing, location – location – location. The surroundings are magnificent, the accommodation is stunning – you really need to try this one!
Park your boat at the door & enjoy the loverly lake system
This is a great family location but also wonderful as a romantic retreat. Simply fabulous!
Everything about the place is unforgettable and irresistible.
This place has it all. Perfect for a relaxing, romantic break. I can’t wait to return.
Lovely locale, beautiful architecture and must for any short or long getaway!
Fanstastic house. Has everything one might need. Very hard leaving to come home. I want to go back.
stunning place to get away with family or friends, sip wine by the open fireplace-awesome, water skiing on the lake is superb and just a very chilled, romantic, elegant and peaceful escape.. highly recommend for some time out!
We have found some breath taking places in Australia, but this Gippsland location certainly is at the top of the list.
fantastic place for a family holiday
Fantastic spot to relax and enjoy time with the family
What a fantastic place – and location! We’d never been to the ‘Lakes District’ before and our time at the Lakehouse made us want to stay forever! Highly recommended!
To me, the best place to be here! I cannot think of a better place to be for myself, my husband and my family. I come from Washington USA and have not experienced a place better than this with all our travels all over the USA. Thank you for giving us the best time of our lives……we hope to come back and enjoy this wonderful jewel of a place.
My family loved the place. My first and lasting impression was how peaceful it wwas and how beautiful the place was! I shall always treasure the finer details that the place had to offer. I thought the place was out of this world!
Spending time is this place is to spend time in another world in another dimension and time. It gives complete peace and at the same time enjoyment of what the place has to offer and there is a lot! Come and see for yourself and you will not regret it.
Such relaxing and luxurious accommodation. We will certainly be travelling back to the Gippsland Lakehouse and so many great things to do in the area.
The best ever place I have been to. Everything about it was excellent and this is the place to be when you want complete peace!
My family will never forget this place. It was a place like no other……calm, refreshing and a place to rest and rejuvinate.
WOW, what a place! This brings me memories of paradise! I will keep on coming back till I cannot physically travel.
This is heaven! A few nights could be so calming and wonderful for the soul. A paradise and refuge for the weary.
The best place I have ever seen. I vote this as the best jewel in the state. Would love to visit every weekend if possible. PURE MAGIC!
I vote this place number 1!!!! The place is like no other that I have seen. It reeks with sophistication and everyone should come and stay here.
Absolutely fabulous! Definitely in my top 10 locations, places to stay and areas to visit!
This fabulous house in it’s idyllic setting was the highlight of our ‘holiday of a lifetime’ in Australia. Having spent a month travelling around we are determined to get back to Oz as soon as possible, one place we will definitely return to is Gippsland Lakehouse.
Very relaxing and you will love having a glass of wine watching the sun go down. I can’t think of anything i would rather be doing than that right now..
Fantastic romantic getaway. Very comfortable place to stay & look forward to returning!
Absolutely amazing!
Stunning house & views. We had a great time – mostly staying in, but would be great with a boat. Will definitely book for a longer holiday again
Absolute heaven on earth. Just what we wanted for a romantic and idyllic getaway.
We can’t wait to go back.
What a fantastic place to unwind, relax and enjoy the stunning location. Stylish, contemporary and more than home away from home. Cannot wait to stay there again…..!
Beautiful accomodation. Well done.
the accomodation & views are sensational…..in every way, a beautiful part of the world, a must destination !!!!
Beautiful, tranquil and absolutely wonderful getaway destination, and so luxuriously appointed and spacious.
Beautiful getaway
Fantastic position
Wonderful accomodation
With such a beautiful setting right on the waters edge, a fantastic well designed two level home that accommodates two families easily and less than a three hour drive from Melbourne, this is the perfect “Getaway”.
What a stunning place in a great location.
Fabulous place – superb surroundings. Highly recommend for a great vacation.
TP
Gorgeous modern house, every convenience and luxury, right on the water with beautiful views….. What more could you ask for????/ Just PERFECT!!!!
Loved everything about this magnificent waterfront accommodation. Truly a great place to unwind. Can’t wait to return.
As someone who lives outside of the country, the prservation of thse kinds of places is essential. This is a unique and special part of the world that I would love to go back to again and again. There is no equivalent anywhere else.
Craig Emanuel
Loved it, who needs a poky hotel bedroom when you can have this accommodation & freedom, the highlight of our first visit to Australia.
This state of the art north facing waterfront home is the best ever!! We had a party at our place in Paynesville and some of our guests from Melbourne stayed in this magnificent home. They had a great time and didn’t want to leave.
Thoroughly enjoyable holiday at Gippsland Lakehouse – great deck, great accommodation and great views. Looking forward to our return stay,
The Lakehouse was fantastic, the location, facilities and view were amazing.. made even better by the fact that we got engaged while staying here! Thanks for a great experience, we will definitely be back!
Our time at the lakehouse was really exceptional,,,,, and very relaxing with a really warm and inviting setup… everything you need and we will be back….
This is the best place for a holiday, luxury plus with the added bonus of the water at your doorstep and also in the beautiful town of Paynesvillle makes this absolutely perfect.
MAGICAL views
MAGICAL accommodation
MAGICAL location
The best holiday ever. A must for all who want to relax with full water views in totoal luxury. TRY IT!!!!!!!!!!!
The most unbelievable family holiday – totally and utterly relaxing and magical!
We will definitely be back again and have recommended it to all of our friends.
We loved our stay here, absolute luxury and fabulous location. Looking forward to our next visit.
Really fun. All day we would be out ok the water. When we were not of the water we were relaxing by the lake
The most relaxing holiday ever.
We hired both houses with 22 people over xmas. We had a brilliant time. The places were spotless and so well set up for adults and children. We loved the access to the water and the jetty’s. The staff were delightful and our booking was managed perfectly. We also really appreciated the welcome pack and felt that it was a very special touch. There is no doubt we will be back and we have recommended the houses to many of our friends.
My family and I had one of the most enjoyable and relaxing holidays we’ve ever had, at The Gippsland Lakehouse.The accommodation is luxurious, warm, incredibly comfortable, and gorgeous to look at. The setting is incomparable: lounging on the fabulous deck overlooking the water; fishing; water-skiing; “donut-ing”(being pulled behind a speed-boat on a large rubber ring); jet-skiing; boating to 90 mile beach, picnicking, swimming, shell collecting…; seafood lunch and wander around sleepy Metung; red wine and chesnuts around the outdoor fireplace at night…. Will we be back? We can’t wait!
I have travelled a lot and stayed in many places both here and overseas. This is, without exception, one of the best places we have ever stayed at. The house itself is absolutely stunning, beautifully appointed. Simple and elegant with everything there. The views over the water are breath-taking and the whole atmosphere brings enormous calm. We only stayed for the weekend, but next time we will stay for much longer.
Beautiful house right on the water. Amazing views and atmosphere – easily 6 out of 5 star!
Highly recommend this lake house for those who love luxury. Brilliant interior and decor, will make you feel at home on holiday.
Thought this was a just terrific . Perfect setting, great house ( with everything you could want), beautiful waterfront location. We can’t wait to go back.. A beautiful place to stay
I would highly recommend this piece of heaven; with is gorgeous aspect, convenient location, idilic views, immediate accessibility to water and its tranquil setting poised within one of Victoria’s best kept treasured locations…. but that would be telling.. and that might ruin our chances of re booking. So, for now..I have nothing to say.
This was an awsome house to stay in. We stayed for a week and had a wonderful time. the house is fitted with the best of everything imaginable.
We stayed 2 familes and yet the house was spacious enough to allow for privacy.
what a great property. Would love to come back in the future and will certainly recommend it to others. this property had it all…
Luxury, comfort and location ++++++++++
Exceptionally lovely place. sunsets and sunrises not to be missed. Had memorable family gathering and everyone loved the place.
Fabulous accommodation with everything at your finger tips. Stunning views of the waterways and mountains.
Relaxing Northerly aspect looking over the water from the deck.
Well landscaped, fits the environment really well. The large deck just above the canal is really a bonus. You can sit there and watch the kids canoeing and swimming, or just have a drink, and watch the Dolphins swim past occasionally.
Nice rural aspect to the rear with ponies to watch.
Our first impressions of this beautiful house was WOW – and that is before we opened the door. This was the perfect getaway for our families. The house was perfect. The views, the modern finishes, the luxurious bedrooms, the fireplace outside, the spacious living area. Every thing was thought of to the very last detail. We have been to some beautiful places, but the Lakehouse was the most relaxing and beautiful self contained home we have stayed in. How blissful to have breakfast on the balcony overlooking the water, then to hop on to your boat and sail away for the day. Paynesville is a gorgeous place to stay.
One of the features I enjoyed most about the Gippsland Lakehouse was sitting on the balcony in the quiet of the morning, enjoying the surrounding birdlife. The accomodation-where do I start; private jetty, outdoor fireplace, overlooking wide canal and bushland, all areas of the lakehouse have such a great feel about it. Open living area fantastic with the warmth to make it feel homely—- a great place to stay with family and friends. Would highly recommend
Spent the week with a few girlfriends and adored every aspect of your stay. Stunning view + brilliant location+ a beautifully designed spacious home= an overall memorable experience!
absolutely LOVED staying here… one of the most well-planned, organised, deluxe townhouses my family and I have had the pleasure of staying in. Every last detail was considered… from the bed linen to the common area and separate outdoor living areas. Sublime.
We brought our boat down for the weekend and had one of the most memorable holidays to date. There is nothing quite like waking up in the morning, fishing off the private jetty and watching the black swans dancing. In a word – MAGIC. Well done.
Had the pleasure of taking my wife and two friends to this little piece of paradise what an absolutely fantastic place to stay.It had everything we needed to relax and unwind would recommend this place to anyone 5 star looking foward to going again.
Great place to stay, housed 7 adults and 5 kids comfortably. Great setting, open fireplace added to the ambience. Jetty was handy, even if we did suffer from Boat envy.
5 star location/5 star accommodation – Spent 4 magnificent days earlier this year with family and friends. Endless activities on and around the lakes. This property is set up to accommadate 10 people in luxury. There’s a massive plasma tv in the main entertainment area set up with games and pay tv. the top two levels have balconies that overlook the lakes and mountians so you can relax after a hard day on the lakes. Nothing has been left out on this property, there’s even an undercover area to hang out and dry your water activity gear. Loved the area so much that I have already booked my next stay.
Perfect house, ideal for large groups and families. Highly recommend, will defintiely stay there again!
WOW! what a beautiful place, the serenity was amazing. when they say right on the lake, that’s what you get, including your own pier!!
Sip on some wine outside by the fire while the kids are inside playing the playstation, relax, life will stop for you.
Booked this accommodation for out of town staff. They loved the location and the ability to sit around in the beautifyl setting to relax after a hard day at the office. Better than booking 10 hotel rooms and dare I say it cheaper as well. Everyone’s a winner!
What a beautiful place to stay and worth a visit. Must be seen by everyone, whether it is a short or long vacation. Ideal for a large family as it is big enough. So much to do around the area and not that foar from Melbourne
Wonderful, romantic and beautiful architecture design. Had a fantastic stay and reccomend it to all wanting to get away.
This place is very luxurious and right on the water. Great place for anyone with a boat.
Where do I start? Easily accesible from Melbourne. The beautiful setting on the lake with wonderful views from all the rooms. This property made an ideal relaxed break for us and our friends with all of the children.Nearby Paynesille is so handy with all of its shops and restaurants.The amenities were nothing less than we have in our own home – and that huge TV!
A beautiful place away from the city where you can chill out with all your creature comforts in place! You must visit!
Fabulous. We spent 2 weeks on a wine excursion. 31 wineries, very busy. Found the Gippsland Lakehouse – and totally detoxed. “Top of the line” everything. We look forward to coming back soon. It’s a long way from the States but well worth the trip.
If you want relaxed elegance, with utter tranquility – this is for you. We so enjoyed watching the sun go down over the water from the beautiful deck, warmed by the outdoor fireplace. (our visit was in the Autumn). So tastefully decorated, and as a foodie- appreciated the well equipped kitchen. Loved the works of art adorning the walls.
Just a spectacular setting! Fun annual bike race held nearby too.
Beautiful accomodation and surroundings – a perfect place to get away with family and friends. We enjoyed the wonderful outdoors as much as the stylish and relaxying indoors.
The most amazing place , in the most fantastic location. Only one big problem… … you will never want to leave…!
