About this property

Getaway - waterfront island living

You have to get away from the stresses of everyday life. Well, Getaway is aptly named, as that is exactly what it represents. This property is located on Raymond Island and has incredible views of the Strait and Lake King.

Great for couples, family or friends, it offers laid-back style with a mezzanine area for extra sleeping or relaxing. Open fire, great views and perfect location, plus the added bonus of Koalas roaming around – what more could a Getaway offer!

Love Raymond Island!
We loved our trip to Raymond Island. The location of the house was perfect, opposite the water and only a short walk to the ferry.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: our stay at the Getaway was lovely thankyou. At first a few teething problems with getting the fire going but Caroline at the Lakes Escapes was very helpful and sorted it all out straight away. The views of the open expansive water was just magnificent and so relaxing. The house had a lovely holiday feel and was ideal for a small group.

Amazing place to relax
Property is clean and tidy, lots of appliances and utensils. Everything was there from covers, bed sheets, towels, even foldable beach chairs, BBQ in good working condition, however we couldn't locate the light switch next to the bbq. Just needs internet for teens mainly as they always on YouTube and stuff

Very nice location for a holiday ..!
Awesome location for a holiday. Enjoyed the stay, however there were no cooling on the premises and we landed on a hot day. Could not sleep in that night due to the heat. There were lot of bugs inside the house. The outside light near the BBQ was not functional. We could not see anything on the BBQ. Overall a nice experience. However you can improve some facilities inside the premises.
