All beds have pillows, blanket and duvets. Please bring own sheets, pillow cases and towels.

The house has a well equipped kitchen, with an Aldi coffee machine and microwave. A new built in oven and stove has just been installed and there is a large pantry. There is also a BBQ with a hood on the deck. We supply sugar, tea and coffee pods plus other basic kitchen cooking items.

The living room has a Coonara as well as a split system heater/air conditioner. Each bedroom has an oil heater. The house also has a:
- porta cot

There is no Wifi at the property. There is 4G reception for those on Telstra at the house in certain spots. There is no reception at the house for those on Vodafone (there is out on the lake which is a short walk from the house).

Apart from being one of the best locations for water activities with direct access to Lake Eildon from the back door (approx 20m currently), there are many other nearby attractions including horse riding, cycling, 4 wheel driving, markets, winery tours & only 40 mins to Lake Mountain and less than 2 hours to Mount Buller.

Canoe/Kayak/SUP hire is available from Jerusalem Creek.

There is also a pontoon that you can fish off or moor your boat/jetski against for the duration of your stay.

The bbq is required to be cleaned upon departure. Failure to do so will result in additional cleaning costs requested from the tenant as our cleaner charges extra for this.

More than 8 adults will be charged an extra $50 per night per adult. Children are 12 years and under.

We recommend using the Public Boat Ramp at Eildon, to put your boat in, which is only a short distance drive into town.

Please note that the property and surrounds are located in a natural environment with direct access to water and as a result is open to inherent risks, the property owners accept no liability for loss or injury, so we ask that tenants take care for the safety of themselves and their guests.

The area can be quite echoey so please be mindful of your neighbours, especially after 11pm at night.

The mooring pontoon and access to the lake through our property, is strictly for the people renting the property only. No additional cars , trailers, boats or jet skis are to be stored or driven on the property. If there is a breach of these rules, the bond will be retained. (Unfortunately some people ruin it for others).

The top part of the driveway is a little steep so 2WD drive vehicles need to be cautious when exiting..

Any damage to the property or additional cleaning required may results in some of the bond being retained. This will be communicated to you before this occurs.

2 night min stay except long weekends are a minimum of 3 nights. During the peak time in January, 4 night minimum is required.

The address and details of how to access the property and the instructions will be emailed to you a few days before your stay.

No smoking. No parties. Pets allowed at request.

Right Arm Road is quite windy and narrow, so please take care when driving to the house. The top part of the driveway is a little steep and can get slippery, so a minimum of an AWD is recommended in winter.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Lovely surrounds, sad old house.
Location wonderful, quiet beach/bay but pontoon for the boat, dirty, lousy access both to and from it. Front entrance to house was a precursor to the inside. Old, shabby, dirty. Furniture and cushions filthy, dining room chairs with cigarette burns, a half empty water bottle under the couch in bedroom 3 and orange peel under couch in lounge. Dust everywhere and then the spider webs in and around the windowsills. OMG not cleaned anytime this century. Back deck positively dangerous. Nails protruding, wood splitting, BBQ unusable, filled with the rodent droppings. Not fit for human use! Check out the washing machine, it's next to the tree that looks like a clothes line. Serious problems when we suffered a storm and high winds. No reception to notify owner of large fallen tree branch across driveway close to the gate, blocking the exit. Unsafe area to be in without wi-fi, phone reception or a CHAIN SAW! 1) How does a property like this manage to qualify for Public Liability Insurance? 2) Seriously tired, old, shabby place, not fit for purpose.

Great location but house and amenities well below expectations.
Lovely location in a quiet bay with boat access out the front. Unfortunately the house is poorly maintained, dirty and very poorly equipped without even the basics. The outdoor furniture and BBQ should be out for hard rubbish and the kitchen appears to have not been properly cleaned in years.

Stunning views and very relaxing
Two families and everyone had an amazing time. The property has direct lake access and a pontoon to fish off, moor your boat. A Murray Cod was caught and released for the next guests. A lovely view. Plenty of room for everyone and we were very comfortable. We took paper plates to save us from washing dishes. Thanks for an unforgettable holiday.

Relaxing cozy holiday
The waterfront house was in an amazing location and although the weather got chilly water and boating fun was still had. The fireplace was a wonderful welcome to come back to and for those who chose to stay in and put their feet up there was plenty of room and a stunning view. Thanks we will definitely be back

Enjoyed the outdoor fire place each night. Mooring the boat to the pontoon made it east to spend more time on the water. Very peaceful and quiet at night.

This property needs a lot of work to get it ready as a rental
Hi There, whilst we enjoyed our stay, and loved the time on the lake, the house had far too many issues / deficiencies. Our feedback on issues is below. Overflowing septic - absolute stench most of the time outside Children’s room, unable to open window as no key provided and window locked. Carpet very dusty, could not use fan in room without making the kids cough. Bunks unsafe. Kids slept 6 nights on living room floor. Power - some lights not working (we did manage to get power on in the bedrooms and bathrooms), all power went off several times and needed to be reset at the power board to turn back on DVD player doesn’t work Risk of gas coming out of old gas lights??? Wifi / Internet, no mention of not having it in the listing (in 2023, this should be included, or at least highlighted as not having it - made it very difficult to manage work whilst away) Very limited mobile reception, easily solved with a $1,500 cell booster, which should be considered for a rental if you are not going to provide internet No dishwasher, again an expected item and whilst it's not the end of the world to wash dishes by hand while on holiday, it would be appreciated if this was mentioned as not available Only one aircon for whole house - we were very hot, and had trouble sleeping in the bedrooms General maintenance - this is an opinion, but in our view the house is not up to rental standard overall, and certainly not for $4,000 for a week We left a day early as we’d had enough…
