Description

You will be swept away by the experience this secluded country home offers –set up for couples, families and friends to enjoy country living with coastal beaches, tourist villages and the magnificent Gippsland Lakes in close proximity.
The contemporary home features a large entertainment deck with pizza oven, BBQ and outdoor dining, overlooking a peaceful dam and rolling pastures. An outdoor heated spa provides year round relaxation and fun for young and old.
Consisting of four bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this home will comfortably accommodate 10 guests. The main bedroom features a king coil queen bed, with a sublime ensuite offering views of the native bushland behind the property, plus walk in robe. Two bedrooms feature trilogy bunks (double bed with single up top), with the fourth bedroom offering a king coil king size bed or the option of two single beds.

Response from the owner Thank you so much for this glorious review Lee. It was our pleasure to host your family gathering, and I'm so pleased that everyone felt catered for, whether they were 3 years old, or 70! East Gippsland is quietly famous for its mild winter weather, so I'm glad you got to experience some of those sunny days during your stay. We hope you can get back again one day for a future visit.
