Description

Tudor style cottages located on one of the most beautiful places on Raymond Island, 6km's from the Paynesville township on 10 acres of bushland with tall trees in a park like setting. Secluded off a beautiful long winding driveway, the house with its two attached 2 storey cottages is but a few metres from the water's edge, and has a safe sandy beach which stretches for miles on this side of the island. There is no road between the house and beach! The cottage is set in an idyllic natural setting of gums and Old Man banksias with lots of native animals including kangaroos, koalas, echidnas and large variety of birds. Raymond Island is the home of Victoria’s koala population.
