Vacation rentals with a kayak in Gippsland

We had a fantastic stay at Wattle Bird for a friend's getaway. The house was spacious and comfortable—perfect for our group of 8 adults and 2 dogs. Rob and Di were exceptional hosts, warm and welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The property had everything we needed to enjoy our time in Barwon Heads, with standout amenities like the BBQ, hot tubs, and a cozy fireplace. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Wattle Bird and would love to return!

We had a great stay with our 2 young boys, house is super comfortable and well equipped, with all the essentials you need. Lots of games and activities and great backyard area for the whole family. I hope we can come back soon

It was perfect place for our weekend getaway to explore Mornington and surronds. Angela was very helpful and flexible with check-in/check-out. The place was comfortable, well equipped with appliances and amenities, with great access to the beach across the road.

we had an amazing stay thanks again. great location walk to the beach and close drive to hot springs. jacuzzi was nice bonus and welcome bottle of wine. thanks

Katie’s house at Wonboyn was absolutely brilliant. The location was superb being lakefront with amazing views over the inlet. The house was spacious and easily accommodated my adult kids and oartners. It was a bonus to have access to a boat and several kayaks from the private jetty. All this on the doorstep to the stunning Beowa National Park. Katie was a terrific host and very responsive to any questions we had. I would highly recommend this accomodation and will definitely be back.

We had such a great stay at Justin’s place—what a beautiful home! The house was spotless, spacious, and had everything we needed for a really relaxing weekend. The outdoor area and waterfront views were a massive highlight, and the space worked perfectly for our group. Justin was super responsive and helpful throughout the booking. Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable getaway. Thanks again for having us!

Absolutely exquisite! The home is bathed in beautiful natural light, with stunning views and an abundance of space - perfect for larger groups. It’s even more spacious and picturesque than the photos suggest. The location couldn’t be better, with a scenic lakeside walk right at the back doorstep and shops just a short distance away. Karen was a pleasure to communicate with - friendly, responsive, and accommodating to our needs. The home is thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to return!

Was a great place and very good location with a private beach. We had such a lovely Easter break. Also having the boat docked outside the property on the private sandy beach was the best. We’ll definitely come back to stay again. Thanks Helen and Barry

Thank you so much for the most wonderful Easter holiday for my family. Sarah's house is absolutely gorgeous, perfect for families- it has such a wonderful cottage vibe. The location is perfect- walking distance to boat ramp and playground and in such a peaceful area. Also a great garden for finding Easter eggs!

A great spot just a short walk from the dog beach and the home is comfortable and a lovely spot to relax. Just note the property is not fully fenced if you are bringing a dog. Great communication and a lovely part of the world to holiday.

It was great to stay at Kerrin’s cottage. The place has breathtaking views for sunset and is very close to Great Victorian Trail. Absolutely loved staying here.

Thanks for a lovely and peaceful stay, quiet and wonderful, and thoughtful touches like a basket of fresh eggs at the front door!

Loved it here.Our second time here and hopefully we will be back!

Beautiful location, peaceful and relaxing. Loved everything about it especially all the extra details that are put into this property. Thank you Janine for being so accommodating and very responsive. Absolutely love my stay.

We had a brilliant time staying at Sarah's property! The location by the river is peaceful and idyllic, truly magical. There is plenty of wildlife to observe from the green by the river and kayaks are provided to explore the river itself. Sarah is a friendly host, proactive and helpful to ensure you have a great stay. Her local recommendations for things to do and places to eat were great. We chose to eat at Dulcie's Cottage which we can highly recommend. We'd recommend Sarah's place to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Susan's place was exactly what we were looking for for a weekend getaway from Melbourne. It's close enough for an easy drive, lovely scenery, and a very comfortable place to stay. Lancefield was the closest town which had all of the the food and restaurant options we could use. The bed was fantastic, and there were extra blankets, towels, and enough cutlery and crockery for a couple of people on a weekend away. We had tea, coffee, and very kindly some fruit and biscuits for us on arrival which made it feel right at home. The property is listed as pet friendly, and it's so well organised for the pup that we had everything at hand that we needed including towels to keep her dry when it was raining outside. The hot tub was great, and although the weather wasn't fantastic, it was lovely to spend the evening in. I could go on, but if you're reading this, and need a short stay away in the country this is the place to be.

We had the most wonderful stay at Cindy & Jeff’s Bungalow. We felt a million miles away whilst being close to all the region has to offer. We were just happy to have a drink, sit by the fire and go fishing. Luckily for us we had some luck, catching a very decent gummy shark on night 1! Bring your bogs and enjoy the country, feed the cows and eat some fresh eggs. We will be back!

Jim and Louisa’s pod is a perfect private Haven, walking disrance to the beach, beautiful garden for a little dog to run out at the front, and the pod had all the amenities needed for a relaxing getaway. The hot spa at night looking at the stars is a must. Definitely recommend!

The Kiah River Lyrebird retreat was beautiful secluded location with picture perfect views. It provided the perfect quiet getaway with everything you would need for your stay. Sarah also looked after us with some extra treats such as organic chocolate and drinks. There was even a couple of linen dressing gowns. Sarah kept us well up to date with places to eat and visit plus some extra information about the Gravity Mountain bike park, which by the way is one of the best we've visited in Australia providing clear, well maintained trails and modern clean facilities. Best of all it's free! We're busy planning our next trip....

Amazing location! Incredible set up! Just a beautiful property! The Lake was a low which made it a little hard to access, but we made it work and still caught fish, enjoyed a kayak and plenty of swimming.

Absolutely beautiful place, The hosts were really friendly and very helpful. Even gave us fererro roches and fresh fruit. Offered us late checkout too ! Really kind hosts. Would stay here again for sure and 100% would recommend this beautiful spot.

What a lovely little cabin! We had a great time staying on Amanda and Rob's property, surrounded by nature (including the adorable rescue creatures and geese), enjoying the quiet and star-gazing. The cabin is very compact but has everything you could need, including a very well fitted-out kitchen (the Soda Stream was a particular highlight). Amanda and Rob are so friendly and accommodating - we loved hearing their stories about building their forever home up on the hill and all their animal-rescue tales. Highly recommended.

We abolsutely loved the place and our family had a wonderful time!! Great house, yard that has amazing view over the lake. I will definitely be booking to stay here again! Alex is a wonderful host and was super responsive with our questions and recommendations for Jindabyne.
