The Shack

The Shack is an original holiday home located on the edge of Eagle Point Bay, opposite the Eagle point jetty and playground, which follows the shoreline around to Paynesville in one direction, and the world-famous silt jetties the other direction.

This comfortable, 2 bedroom, original beach cottage is suitable for a small family or two couples with plenty of space to park your car and boat or have a family cricket match. Take a short stroll down to the lakefront at the end of the road to swim, boat, kayak or fish!

Enjoy this ideal location with only a ten-minute drive to the town centre of Paynesville and its restaurants, bars, and cafes. Handy to local boat ramps, golf courses and all the natural attractions on offer. With easy access to Lake King from the public boat ramp, the location is perfect for boating and fishing enthusiasts.

  a guest from Hackett, ACT recommends this vacation rental

  We had a great week at the shack with its lovely location. The property is a cute little 60’s place but a little tired. It has all the things you need but was a bit tired and run down. There was a mould problem in the toilet leaking through from the shower which didn’t look very pleasant. There were reading lights for the bed that had no powerpoints to plug in to and the main bed was very hard. Despite these shortcomings we loved the place and had a great week. We would go back again.

    Hi Angus, Thank you so much for your feedback and your review, the issue with the mould has been ongoing, it is at this moment being fixed again, we would welcome you back. Kind regards Carolyn Gippsland Lakes Escapes

  Suzanne B from CROYDON SOUTH, Victoria recommends this vacation rental

  Perfectly located in a quiet area with the water and a nature reserve a mere two minute walk away. This cute 1950s beach house has all the charm of a bygone era but with modern amenities. I found the master bed too hard for my liking, however, the second bedroom featured a softer mattress so I ended up having a comfortable stay. An easy drive to Bairnsdale, Paynesville and Raymond Island.

  The shack is small but sweet. Very relaxing comfortable stay for our family, spacious enclosed yard for our dog.
  We enjoyed walking by the foreshore, paddling in the lake and exploring the region.

  Cosy house with all you need for a short stay at the lakes. A great location for park and water access (right across the road) and plenty of space in the yard for cars, boats and your pooch.
  A BBQ would be a great addition.

  The house had a wonderful view with the nice big front windows, to drink our morning coffee. It had good amenities for the two of us. We went to Paynesville and Bairnsdale for some great food.
