Holiday rentals with lake access in Eastern states of Australia

What a beautiful little slice of the yarra valley. The heating was very efficient, it was icy overnight and we had no idea. We woke to kangaroos outside the window each morning. The caretakers lodge was much closer to the accommodation than I expected, however they were very helpful and friendly and I didn't see them apart from when I checked in. The house is stunning. The view from the huge windows is lovely. It felt very luxurious and was a lovely place to stay after getting married. I would absolutely recommend Kangaroo Manor to others, and I'd love the opportunity to stay there again one day. The hosts were very proactive, kind, and professional, and gave me the impression that I could contact them at any time. Thank you for a very memorable experience.

One of the most gorgeous places I’ve stayed. Beautifully designed house, right on the lake. We will be coming back, it was just lovely. Use of kayaks and SUPs was an amazing addition too. Thank you for having us.

I always stay at Whale Watchers. Angela is super easy to communicate with and makes your stay hassle free. The house is really beautiful, light airy and the view is next level. I stay in many homes and hotels travelling for work. Whale Watchers I always look forward to and enjoy so much it’s hard to leave.

Beautiful spot to get away from the city and decompress. Loved relaxing in front of the fire and taking a walk through through walnut trees down to the river. The perfect winter getaway for us :)

The Glasshouse is a amazing place to getaway and have peace and quiet. 45 minutes from Sydney. 10 minutes by boat to the marina for morning coffee. I have stayed all round the World in Air BnB's and George is the best host ever, Patrick and Liam are your contacts on the river and live locally, nothing is ever a problem. Highly recommended.

The photos do not do this stay justice. The view was absolutely stunning (despite the bad weather over the weekend we stayed). It was spacious, well equipped, the beds were comfortable and it was very clean. It felt very private, we had a nice stay and hopefully will be back. Thank you :)

Our stay was amazing! The place was spotless and exactly like the photos! Francine our stay extremely comfortable. 5 stars through and through!

Sandy is a great host, made everything very easy for us to use, ping pong table and arcade machine was fun, fire place in the backyard made for a chilled space.

We absolutely loved our stay here and had a fantastic experience. The location was great with plenty of parking space. The place was comfy, clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Lesa is an amazing host. Very flexible and super responsive with her messages. We were made to feel very welcome and looking forward to our next stay. Would highly recommend!

Excellent cabin, had everything we needed. Hosts were very responsive to all of my questions. Nice and cozy and warm with the air conditioning , extra blankets and having a fire pit under the starlight was very heartwarming. Great location, 8mins to the centre of Jindy. The lake is also walkable from your cabin which was quite picturesque.

The bungalow was a beautiful little getaway. Was nice tidy and clean. Very close to everything you could possible need and a lovely walk to the beach. Will definitely stay here again in the future.

this is our second stay and again absolutely loved being here we will 100% be return guests it's a home away from just 1 million times better. Kiara and kane are the most incredible hosts you could dream of. If your reading reviews to stay here so your self a huge favour and book in here as it's an absolutely dream

Cute and cosy little apartment. Great spot, well priced and Arlene was super friendly.

A beautiful, clean, spacious apartment that was well equipped, central and homely. My partner and I had a lovely time and wish we could have stayed longer!

Kerri and Alan were great hosts. Place was tidy and clean and as described. Easy to find and they dealt with our late check in very well! Thanks and look forward to coming back again! Patrick

Sarah’s place is a good find. Conveniently located near downtown Melbourne. She was very responsive. Incredible views of downtown Melbourne from her place. You have to pick up the key from a local grocery store (which worked fine) and there is only one key, but overall the stay was great. Excellent swimming pool and gym. Recommend staying here! Good value!

What a peaceful escape! Felt right at home. Would book again xxx

Loved our time here. Our trip was in winter and it rained both days, bringing a beautiful misty outlook from the windows. Despite the cold, the owners had left ample firewood and had set the fire before we arrived, making everything cosy. We had one minor challenge during our stay and the owners were instantly onto it. Our thanks for all their support and we’d happily recommend this stay.

Was perfect stop over and close enough to Geelong and the surf coast. Peaceful little town with cute little lolly shop and great pub for dinner all next door to accomo. It rained a lot and was cold so we didn’t get to use play ground near by which would have been fun for the kids. We kept warm with fire and split system and beds well equiped with doonas and blankets and lots of pillows. Apartment Well decked out with vintage furniture and great magazines and lots of read. Coffee machine and fresh beans a great touch and fridge well equipped for our 2 night stay. Bathroom modern and great shower. Would def come back

We stayed at Caitlin & Michael’s cabin for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it. The space was comfortable and well laid out, with a cosy bedroom, large luxurious bathroom, and a kitchen and living area that felt like home. The wood fire was a real highlight and we appreciated the generous supply of firewood, kindling, and matches. Their local food recommendations were incredible—we followed every one and had no regrets. We also enjoyed cooking in the well-equipped kitchen and using the BBQ. The peaceful location was stunning, with no nearby noise and beautiful local wildlife all around. Whether it was sunny or rainy, the cabin was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We’re already planning to return. Thank you, Caitlin & Michael, for an unforgettable stay!

A rare gem—pure bliss by the lake! We stayed one night at Cottage by the Lake, but it felt like a world away from everything. Just 5 minutes from Hanging Rock, this stunning waterfront property features two tranquil lakes, complete with a rowboat and kayaks that guests are free to enjoy. The cottage itself is warm, inviting, and beautifully appointed with a wood fireplace (firewood generously supplied). The upper-level attic bedroom is spacious and cosy, while the well-stocked kitchen had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Hosts Ann and Kevin were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We’d be remiss not to mention Jock, the sweetest dog who welcomed us on arrival and came by for regular visits. He loves pats and hugs and truly made us feel at home. This place is a nature lover’s paradise—kangaroos all around, stunning views, and absolute peace. A rare find we won’t forget. Wish we stayed longer. We will be back for a longer visit next time!

Howard’s love shack was beautiful and cozy, comfortable bed and enjoyed the views and the outdoor fire. Fishing was interesting, wanted to catch a fish but ended up catching a couple of eels. Had a lovely weekend and will be back soon.

We had a great time. Sue took the time to show us around the paddocks and to feed the animals. We could then roam the paddocks at our leisure. The accommodation was just as described and had everything we needed for a peaceful weekend away.

If you are looking for a little getaway that is close to both Sydney or Canberra, this is the place for you! This little cottage is absolutely stunning. It is very modern inside, with a beautiful wood fire to keep you warm while you look out over Lake Conjola as the sun sets. With less than a 2 minute walk, you can head down to a little jetty where you can sit in the sun and watch the local wildlife or just enjoy the beautiful surrounds. The cottage is on the same property as the main residence, but it is very private. I definitely recommend this little peace of paradise, and would be only to happy to book in again soon!
