Great stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place is just like the explanation, it has everything you need.The only negative was the amount of dog hair on the carpet. It is obvious that a white hair dog stays regularly and this is all though the carpets and outside in the yard. It appeared well vacuumed on arrival but a couple of walks up and down the corridor and it just all balled to the surface. I even vacuumed myself a couple of times but there is so much it continues to ball up on the floor. Clumps could be found in the outdoor area also. The couch in the living room smelt badly of dog also. The grass in the backyard was full of bindies so be careful walking on the grass.

Fantastic position

This property was in the ideal location for us, we spent a lot of time in the boat , it made access fantastic & sitting on the deck looking at the view was perfect. The house is a new build and comfortable. The beds were very firm but nice linen. We had a great time at this property.

Relaxing Stay

We decided to visit the Gippsland area to help the economy after the fires We stayed in Paynesville and the house was lovely in a quiet court and looks over the area where the boats are put in the water The house was new and had all amenities The only thing was it was stated that the house had fans in the rooms but there wasn’t any The area is beautiful and although a long way to travel for a couple of days we will be back for a longer stay

Excellent accommodation

The house was very clean and in a lovely setting. We will return to this venue. The only suggestion I would make is that the house needs a dryer for the winter months. Everything else was fantastic
