Great place to stay
Our group stayed for 4 days, the house was very clean & had everything you need. The highlight for us was feeding the local bird community from the back deck. The host Mark was great to deal with and communication was excellent. I highly recommend this property

Great Location overlooking lake Eldon
Property at a great location. It was very clean and tidy. Only issue was the lack of reception and internet, made it a bit difficult to navigate our way around the area. Kids enjoyed the Bird Feeding experience.

Great getaway
The property was perfect for our family gathering. Plenty of space for individuals to join in or do their own thing. The abundance of birdlife was incredible and kept the tweenies enthralled. We had a great weekend of making memories. Highly recommended.

Lovely property
Had a fabulous stay at Taylor Bay House. Beautiful location close to facilities in Eildon town. The house is perfect families and is ideal for either summer or winter conditions, lovely big sunny deck, reverse cycle air con and wood fire. Plenty of clean, comfortable bedding. Our teenage kids loved the pool table and the bird life is amazing. Can highly recommend.

Great House, good lake access
For a large group, Taylor Bay House is an excellent choice. Plenty of things to do on the property, billiards room, plenty of bedrooms for all. Shame the water was down a bit from previous years, but property has access from the rear 4WD required. All basic essentials provided, along with puzzles and games for those rainy days. Taylor Bay House also has a great day boat, where you can setup your chairs etc, and moor your boat/jetski too.

Brilliant house in fantastic location
We had a fantastic week in this wonderful house. Very clean, comfortable beds, good amenities, great views and a very friendly host. Everything just works and we could leave our boat in the water for the whole week. We had a couple of 40 C days and the house was remarkably comfortable. Good separation of downstairs and upstairs accomodation which works well for 2 families. We will definitely come back next year.

Nice and spacious double storey house with lake view
Very pretty lake view house especially on the first floor. The fireplace keeps the house warm. Although we did not feed the bird and see the kangaroo, we still had a very good time. Mark is very helpful and response fast. Thanks.

The place is excellent. But telecommunications are not so good
We didn’t receive the password to open the door before arrived . There is no telephone reception, so we have to drove back to the where we can make phone call to ring the host . A bit frustrating. Also on second day, Wifi run out of data, we have to drove to ring the host again. The place is good, clean and nice setting with beautiful views .

Serenity at its finest
Lovely property with everything you need for a homely stay. Just bring yourselves & your personal items. The location is great right on the water, fire pit to properly participate in Earth Hour and wildlife to keep a smile on your face. The King Parrots delighted us all weekend. Hosts are great too, good comms.
