Glasshouse Lake Eildon Architectural Retreat
Welcome to The Glasshouse – Taylor Bay Retreat, a secluded waterfront escape where striking architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony on the shores of Lake Eildon.
Surrounded by native bushland and overlooking the tranquil waters of Taylor Bay, this architecturally designed retreat invites you to unwind, slow down, and settle into true lakeside living. In winter, the home transforms into the ultimate cosy escape — think misty lake mornings, crackling fireplaces, steaming outdoor spa sessions, and evenings gathered around the fire pit under the stars. In summer, floor-to-ceiling windows open the home to cooling lake breezes, while days are spent boating, swimming, fishing, and gathering with family and friends across the expansive indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Designed to comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests, the home features spacious open-plan living, soaring timber-lined ceilings, and breathtaking floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the lake from almost every angle.
Highlights include: Outdoor hot tub overlooking the lake Stunning stone fireplace and multiple cosy living areas Fire pit with lake views Gas BBQ and woodfire BBQ Private jetty with direct lake access Plenty of parking for cars and boats Fully equipped chef’s kitchen Expansive indoor/outdoor entertaining spaces Large balconies immersed in nature Beautiful waterfront setting surrounded by national parkland
Wake slowly with a coffee overlooking the water, spend your afternoons exploring the lake, fishing, boating or bushwalking, then return home to warm fires, soft blankets, and peaceful evenings surrounded by nature.
Whether you're soaking in the spa as fog rolls across the lake, gathering around the dining table with family and friends, or simply enjoying the stillness of the surrounding bushland, The Glasshouse offers a stay that feels both luxurious and deeply relaxing.

Family gatherings Weekend escapes with friends Winter getaways Couples retreats Boating and fishing trips Nature lovers seeking peace and privacy

Reviewer Comments:
Glasshouse on the Lake was the perfect getaway — spacious, stylish, and set in a truly beautiful location. We especially loved the open layout, which gave us plenty of room to relax and enjoy our time together. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered breathtaking lake views from nearly every spot in the house.One of the highlights was definitely the jacuzzi — a real treat after a day of exploring or just to soak under the stars. Whether we were lounging indoors, enjoying the peaceful outdoor setting, or taking in the views from the hot tub, everything about this place felt relaxing and special.A super spot we thoroughly enjoyed and would love to return to!

Conflicted….
I really want to give 5 stars for this place- but unfortunately…,,,,The location and the house is stunning! But the let downs was the cleanliness. The spa was disgusting and had broken glass by the gate. Nearly every piece of cutlery, tray, plate and cup was dirty. No hand soap or dishwashing liquid. The first night no hot water. The fire pit is on a side of a hill- no chance for confit- and the house is 12 people- 3 double rooms 1 room with 4 bunks and a downstairs with 2 sofa beds. But no one can sleep downstairs as no curtains at all!For a property over 1k per night it was a little disappointing- but as mentioned the views were awesome!
