Tucked away on 20 acres of peaceful native bush, Waterfront Retreat is a hidden gem in East Gippsland. Set along the edge of Lake Victoria, it features 17 fully self-contained lodges ranging from one to four bedrooms. Each lodge offers either serene water views or a calming bush outlook, complete with full kitchens for easy self-catering. Conveniently located just 15 minutes from Paynesville and 20 minutes from Bairnsdale, it’s an ideal escape for guests seeking quiet, nature, and wildlife—including a friendly local kangaroo mob that often wanders by.
Burrabogie sits in a beautiful bush pocket, offering an inviting getaway for families and groups. This warm and welcoming 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom property combines the charm of a rustic lodge with the comfort of home. The spacious living area provides plenty of room to relax, while the wood fireplace sets the perfect mood for cozy evenings after exploring the lake and surrounds. Thoughtfully furnished and designed for easy, comfortable stays, Burrabogie is the ideal spot to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the peaceful bush atmosphere.
Watch and feed native animal life right outside your lodge, including kangaroos and parrots, or go fishing, kayaking, or paddleboarding on the lake right outside your door. We offer free use of pushbikes, which you can use to explore the trails or bike to the heated outdoor spa. In the winter, cozy up to a gas fireplace or take a dip in the heated indoor pool.
Pool Disclaimer The indoor pool is available for guest use year-round. Please note the pool is heated during the warmer months only, from the September school holidays through to the Easter/school holiday period.
