Amazing waterfront views, scenery, bird-life, free kayaks & private jetty

Perfectly positioned between Lakes Entrance and Metung, our lakeside retreat offers the best of both worlds when you're looking to relax and explore the Gippsland Lakes region. The tiny lakeside hamlet of Nungurner is the stuff of fairytales. Taking full advantage of our hillside location, each of our four cabins offer enviable lake views looking down through the treetops to the water's edge below. Framed by two jetties and an historic boatshed, the Nungurner foreshore situated below your accommodation provides an enchanting setting for your getaway.

If you're looking to reconnect with nature and enjoy life's simple pleasures, you're going to love it here. Be inspired by the views from your deck, hand feed friendly native birds, take one of our complimentary kayaks out for a paddle on the lake, drop a fishing line in off the jetty below, amble along walking tracks to hidden beaches or toast marshmallows and stargaze around your private outdoor fire-pit.

Our accommodation appeals equally to couples, families, solo travellers or friends, looking for a nature based getaway away from the crowds.Complimentary on site facilities include private jetty (so you can bring your boat!), kayaks with paddles and vests, bird feeding, shared laundry and electric BBQ facilities, plus a designated fish cleaning area to clean your catch.
