About this property
Serenity on the koala trail
Located on the koala trail and less than 100 metres from the water & boat ramp, Kalara is the perfect house to relax & unwind. Catch the vehicular ferry from Paynesville to Raymond Island and you will immediately feel relaxed. The house offers 3 bedrooms: 2 x Queen rooms & 3rd bedroom with 2 sets of bunks. The living & kitchen area is open plan & the lounge / dining area is on a split level above.
This is the perfect retreat for a couple, a group or a family. Great entertaining deck with BBQ & good sized backyard. Guests can feed the birds & enjoy kangaroos & koalas in the surrounds. This property is clean, comfortable & has a lovely bright and airy feel about it. Everything you need to enjoy your Gippsland Lakes holiday is at Kalara. Pet friendly with a great sized yard. Dogs must be on leash at all times outside the yard as Raymond Island is a sensitive environment
