Aqua Vista - A stunning holiday home with views and a short walk to town

Welcome to Aqua Vista, your perfect escape in the heart of Paynesville – where lake breezes meet small-town charm. This spacious two-storey retreat is made for families and groups looking to unwind, reconnect, and soak up the best of East Gippsland’s waterfront lifestyle.

Inside, you’ll find all the comforts of home – TV, WiFi, and a gas log fireplace for cosy nights in. The open-plan layout is perfect for sharing meals, laughs, and lake stories. Step outside to enjoy the fresh air on the balconies, or bring your four-legged friend along – Aqua Vista is pet friendly, too.

Whether you're boating, exploring Raymond Island, or simply enjoying the peaceful pace of Paynesville, Aqua Vista offers the ideal base for your coastal-lake getaway.

  Michael W from Melbourne, VIC recommends this vacation rental

  Great place to stay with family and dog. couch upstairs was a bit smelly like someone had tried to clean the dog smell out of the couch but failed. We never let our dog off the floor anywhere and he sleeps in his own bed that we bring but I guess others don't care so much.
  Rest of the place was really good.

  Enjoyed our stay at this excellent property. Very handy to Bairnsdale golf course for our golfing trip. House was well presented with spacious bedrooms, large balcony and great living area with lots of games and dvd’s available. Having a pool table was a bonus. Plenty of choices for takeaway food or dining out and had an enjoyable afternoon catching the ferry to Raymond Island and walking the koala trail. Saw plenty of wildlife!
  Highly recommend this house and Paynesville too!

  a guest from Bendigo, NA recommends this vacation rental

  This house was spectacular, and overall, the 6 of us were extremely comfortable, but it was the finer details that disappointed. The dvd/vcr was broken. In the upstairs shower and the downstairs bathroom, tap handles fell off. The range hood light didn’t work. The oven was so clogged up with fat, that when we turned it in, the room filled with fatty smoke and we had to clean the filter. The place was dusty in places, the shower wasn’t really clean and one of the downstairs bedside tables was covered in a sticky substance.

    Hi Robyn, thank you for your thoughtful review and feedback, we are looking in to these issues you have raised, we are glad that overall you found this house comfortable. Kind regards Carolyn Gippsland Lakes Escapes

  Great family home that also allowed us to bring our dog on holidays with us as they had a secured backyard and kennel for her to sleep in. House is close to the Main st with some good food and parks for the kids to play.

  Andrea H from Parkdale, Vic recommends this vacation rental

  Had a lovely couple of days here with friends. House was great and met our requirements well.
  Nice touch with being supplied some staples, bread was delicious.
  Only suggestion would be to invest in wifi, which is almost a necessity these days.

  • Manager Responded on 5/29/2022

    Hi Andrea, thank you for your review, glad you enjoyed some days with friends. Unfortunately some of our owners prefer not to put on WIFI, I guess more time to to enjoy our wonderful area. Kind Regards Carolyn Gippsland Lakes Escapes

  The property, was nice and very cheap for what you get/location. The property is quite tidy however is a little bit dated, but great for a large family or a group of friends. Being able to have the dog was a game changer. Would stay again!
