BEDROOM MAKEUP

BED 1.
The main bedroom is upstairs and has a queen size bed with electric blanket, ensuite, smart TV and great views of the water and mountains, so you will have to draw straws for this room!!! (its my favourite).

BED 2.
Is also upstairs and has a queen bed with electric blanket. This bedroom overlooks the backyard and gets the warm morning sun. It also has a door leading out onto the top deck and workout area, which has great views and a nice quiet place to enjoy a morning tea or coffee or evening glass of vino.

BED 3.
Is downstairs and has a Queen bed with electric blanket and views of the water and mountains.

BED 4.
Is downstairs and has 2 single beds, 1 set of bunks (4 single beds) and has views of the water and Mountains also.

WHAT'S CLOSE BY??

GENERAL STORE
The property is walking distance from the local general store which, has everything you could need including great coffee, food, alcohol, papers and mags, fuel for your car/boat, take away food etc etc.

CARAVAN PARK CAFE called Fish Inn.
You can see this cafe from the house and if you follow the walking track around the lake you will pass right by. This is a great place to stop for a coffee, breaky, lunch or dinner.
Friday and Saturday nights is their specialty, where they serve great pizza and other take away foods. You can in (just bring your own drinks/grog) and eat in or order take away.
Call 5777 3572 and Charlotte and Tom will be happy to help you out. Just tell them you are staying at Paula's Place!

BOAT RAMP is about a good stones throw from the property, which means you can watch your boat being launched and skiers skiing from the property. This boat ramp may or may not be open depending on the water levels. The good thing about Goughs Bay however, is that there are many boat ramps to launch your boat around the Bay area no matter what the water level. When the lake was at its lowest the only place you can launch your boat is on a ramp, was at Goughs Bay!! Water level currently at nearly 90%

BOAT CLUB!! CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS. SHOULD RE OPEN BEFORE XMAS 2024 ALL VISITORS ARE WELCOME!
This is a MUST VISIT and open Wednesday, Friday and Saturday but on January it will be open for Lunch and Dinner every day. Its a great place to sit and enjoy a cold one overlooking possibly the best view of Lake Eildon you will find. Prices for drinks are the cheapest around.!!!!

MANSFIELD TOWNSHIP is only 12 Min away and that has everything you could want and more. The restaurants, pubs and coffee shops are all worth a visit and the strip shopping is fantastic. Just keep in mind that most shops do close on Saturday afternoon and Sunday.

WINERIES and THE DELATITE RIVER
Wineries are abundant in the area and there is a great fishing/swimming hole called Bracks Bridge about 2 min drive from the property.

MOUNT BULLER AND MOUNT STIRLING
The property is situated not far out of Mansfield and a 30 min drive to the Mt Buller gate entry. Making day trips easy and importantly affordable.

MANSFIELD ZOO
You would have passed the Zoo on your way to the property and is a must see. You can feed animals and pat the animals in this open range environment. The kids will love it and so will you!!

HIGH COUNTRY MAZE AND GARDENS
This is well worth the visit the kids will love it and so will you!
Open Weekends and school holidays

BRACKS BRIDGE
Approx 1 km for a lovely Picnic area on the Delatite River. Public bush toilets and wood bbq. Great fishing and swimming hole.
Perfect spot in summer to relax under the huge shady trees.
Feel the cool mountain water rushing though your feet while walking along the flat river rocks.

PICNIC POINT:
Picnic point is visible from the property and is a walk or short drive away. It has a playground area, BBQ and toilet facilities. Just turn right at the bottom of our driveway and follow the road around to the left keeping the water on your left, you will pass the caravan park on your right and picnic point is a bit further along on your left. The views are spectacular.

Beautiful location
Great place in a perfect location for boat access and walking distance to the water. The house has everything you need, kitchen was great with plenty of utensils, plates etc. Views from the front deck and upstairs deck were superb and relaxing. Lots to occupy the kids with table tennis and games. I will say that having 12 people was too many, perfect for 10.

Our trip to Goughs Bay & Mount Buller Snow.
We found the property a delight, there was enough space for my wife and I + 3 teenage daughters to still have their own privacy. Everything we needed was available. The instructions of what to bring and how to get to the location were very clear and everything was in working condition. The location was close enough to the Mount Buller Snow and the views from the front showed a beautiful lake very close by (handy for the summer). The only thing that did not allow as to grade everything as excellent was there was a garbage bag with rubbish on the kitchen bench when we arrived and some of the dishes needed washing before being used otherwise it was a great few days away. Thank you Paula

Wonderful relaxing stay
Wonderful well stocked property. The owners gave thought of practically everything. It was a very hot 4 days and we welcomed the air conditioning and screened doors, windows and deck. The only thing we missed was a coffee machine but a great excuse for a morning walk to the caravan park. Lots of space for two families. We did not bring our dog but wished we did as it is a very well set up for a dog with a great secure front deck. We loved the lake views from the two decks and the view from the master bedroom is amazing. I could have relaxed in their all day! Great communicaton from the owner. We look forward to staying again in the future.

Great Location with Good Views
Great Location easy to find. Very well equipped with everything you need. Plenty of room for our 2 families. Pet friendly which was great and the table tennis table got a pretty good work out. The only things we would suggest is maybe some more blockout blinds in all bedrooms and at the glass entrance door and kids room. We also found quite a few of the plate/bowls not cleaned properly at first use which could be from the dishwasher maybe not working properly. Thanks again

About the host

Hosted by Paula Crawford-Hall

Host profile image
I am a property manager, yoga teacher, snow ski instructor and health care worker.
I Have 2 boys and 2 Dogs. I love to water ski and snow ski so this place is perfect summer and winter, its also a great place reboot your batteries, enjoy the fresh air, nature and magnificent views.

Why they chose this property

I grew up water skiing on the lake and fell in love with Goughs Bay and its views. This property is really practical and has everything you need and more, with a view to die for. Its such a relaxing place to be, its somewhere you can plug back into nature and leave behind the hustle and bustle of your busy life.

What makes this property unique

The property has 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, one which includes a spa and full laundry.
There is a huge deck at the front of the house which is fully fly wired in so no pests!
It also has a table tennis table and outdoor setting, doggie door, kennel and dog bed. The view of the water and mountains from here is spectacular.
The open lounge, kitchen and dining area looks out to the magic view of the water and surrounding mountains. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything in it you could possibly need and more.
There are 3 TVs the largest is in the lounge area. We also have a huge collection of DVDs which cater for both adults and kids.
Head out the back door to the 4 burner Bbq and up the back stairs, to the deck on top of the house with fantastic views . I call this the champagne deck, you will understand why when u sit up the for pre dinner drinks, where u can watch the kids play in the back yard on side while soaking in the views of the whole bay.
3 of the 4 bedrooms have views and the other has its own deck.
The room just off the living dining area boasts an open fire, lots of shelving full of books, games, DVDs and toys for the kids. This room has double sliding doors, which can be closed off from the main living kitchen area for a bit of quiet time. Put a movie on slide the doors closed and relax in your separate lounge are with the big screen TV.
Having 3 bathrooms in the house really helps with the flow of traffic when u have a full house and the spa is great for the kids just throw them all in together.
Outside in the backyard there is a swing and slide set and a fire pit.
If you bring your dog, and I suggest you do, because they love it up here where you can let them off the lead to run play and swim. We cater perfectly for dogs, all u have to do is bring their food. The property is full fenced front and back so no escaping. We also supply dog beds, a kennel, dog bowls and have a doggie door onto the deck so the can come and go.
