Lilys by the Lake

This beautifully Unique Bed & Breakfast on the Waterfront of Raymond Island is so peaceful. Picturesque in the most precious surroundings. Magnificent birdlife is abundant in the bush setting, yet only a few meters away you find yourself standing in the pristine waters of the safe swimming beach.

Don't be surprised if you see the resident Dolphins swimming past or the cheeky resident Koalas could be watching you from that huge Gum tree behind you, the best of Land and Water on this Island Paradise is offered here. stunning!

  Anne B from St Albans, Hertfordshire recommends this vacation rental

  We had a wonderful stay on Raymond island. The property was very well equipped and was situated in a peaceful location close to the water. Our host couldn’t have been kinder supplying plentiful food and lots of information about the locality. We even had a koala in a tree next to the property. I would definitely recommend a stay.

  Diane W from Bayview, New South Wales recommends this vacation rental

  We had a truly relaxing stay at Lily’s by the Lake. The accommodation is set in its own tranquil piece of paradise, very private, and very comfortable. Noreta is a beautiful person and an attentive host, ensuring we were comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Her communication was first class and we enjoyed her wealth of knowledge shared with us. We were sorry to leave this wonderful place behind and hope that one day we will return. We would highly recommend Lily’s by the Lake, the location is the perfect spot to stay, and like us you won’t want to leave.

  a guest from Cowes, Victoria recommends this vacation rental

  A wonderful place to stay. Quiet, private and clean. Close to the beach and of course, koalas! Unfortunately, for me, the bed was too hard to have a good sleep on but that did not in any way retract from my enjoyment of Lily’s. Nita was a perfect host and super kind! Cannot recommend this accommodation enough!

  Jason K from Ringwood north, VICTORIA recommends this vacation rental

  I picked this place and the wife loved it. Little cottage, away from hustle and bustle. Island is nice to walk around, met kangaroos and koalas. Host was a lovely lady. The ferry is quick and makes it easy to get across to the "mainland" and the local restaurants were surprisingly good. Will come back.

  To be honest I don’t want to tell everyone how special this corner of the natural world is. An island, a ferry trip, calm lake waters, natural bush right to the shore, meandering streets, bush land, swans, koalas galore, the widest array of boats tootling past to stare at all day with a picnic ... our host is a special soul who thoughtfully cared for us, gave us privacy and shared her home. Thank you

  We had a great time at Lily’s there are some great walking trails and a short stroll from your accommodation can get you to the ferry and over to Paynesville.
  Stay was neat and tidy very easy stay.

  Rose D from Altona, VIC recommends this vacation rental

  We have had a wonderful stay with Nareeta at Lily's By The Lake!
  - Great location 5 mins walk from the ferry, surrounded by gum trees and with the beautiful lake just over the back fence inviting a swim or paddle.
  - Comfy bed, large bedroom with ensuite and wardrobe, plus separate sunroom with breakfast/food facilities and a shaded verandah to watch evening fall
  - lots of yummy goodies provided
  - very friendly and kind host
  - koalas sometimes come into the trees just over the back fence, kangaroos come into the surrounding streets too, and you can watch the rosellas, cockatoos and correllas feeding from your window each morning
  - very clean and well appointed accommodation
  - feeling of peace and seclusion even though you are close to everything!
