Family-friendly vacation rentals in East Gippsland Shire

Gordon and Merillyn were wonderful hosts! Five stars no notes for this beautiful property. Gordon and Merillyn left detailed instructions for our arrival to Kalimna and carefully considered recommendations for our stay. They had prepared freshly baked bread, fresh fruit and provided chocolate for our Easter enjoyment. We also had many bird varieties visit the rainforest-esque back garden. Could not have asked for a better location for our Easter getaway - would recommend to all!!

My kids and I have enjoyed staying at Phil’s place numerous times. It’s perfect if the family don’t mind sharing an open plan room. It’s close to the beach and bike tracks which suits our needs. Will return!

A Perfect Winter Escape with Stunning Views! What a fantastic winter getaway for our group of eight! WenResting's waterfront views are even more breathtaking in person. The house is incredibly spacious and comfortable, easily accommodating our large group without feeling crowded. We loved the cozy living areas, and the reverse-cycle air conditioning was a blessing on the chilly evenings. The well-equipped kitchen had everything we needed, and having all the linen and towels provided was a thoughtful touch. Kellie was a brilliant host, friendly and communicative and made the entire check-in process effortless. The location is second to none. Being just a short, scenic stroll from the footbridge made exploring Lakes Entrance an absolute breeze. The spectacular views and warm, inviting atmosphere made our stay unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend WenResting for a memorable holiday. Thank you, Kellie!

We only had 1 night at this B&B (last night). Ling met us on arrival with an umbrella because it was absolutely pouring rain. Everything was nicely presented and once we turned the heating on we were nice and cosy and warm. Everything in the way of amenities was supplied. The continental breakfast was sufficient with lots of choices of cereal, toast and fruit and everything is dairy free so we enjoyed our first Oat Milk Cappuccino and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the pleasant stay Ling

We couldn't have picked a better place to spend a long weekend away from city. We really enjoyed the serenity and beauty of the place. The house is comfortable and clean, and very quiet for a good night sleep. We'll definitely recommend staying at Bernardine's place.

Such a great place. The third bedroom is massive and could fit a family in that room alone. The other two bedrooms are also decent size as is the living room. Feels really spacious and it’s cool to wake up and see the water from bed. Highly recommend for the price point

Fantastic stay in one of our favourite places to be. We wanted a spot for a family getaway and this was even better then expected. House was a great size, had everything we needed & super cosy. A beautiful few days away in Dinner Plain. W

Such a beautiful and peaceful place to getaway! Close to so many beautiful lookouts/ trails; i would say a perfect location. We noticed Kim had taken extra effort to make this home as comfortable as possible. Love that they provided firewood for us and the absolutely clean bedrooms. Lucky got to meet their friendly dog Hugo on our way out! Would totally come back.

Scott was quick to respond and easy to talk too. Accommodation is cosy and perfect for what was needed. Great deal. Location is incredible for exploring the surrounding areas. Frankie the Kelpie kept my 3yr old occupied playing fetch and running around the yard. Definitely coming back when visiting the Sapphire Coast!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Lucas’s place! The house is beautiful, offering the best views of Lakes Entrance — truly breathtaking. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, making it easy to relax and unwind. Lucas was a fantastic host, friendly and attentive, ensuring everything was perfect throughout our visit. The house was spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with plenty of amenities to make the stay convenient and enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to experience Lakes Entrance in Paynesville in style and comfort!

We had a lovely 3 nights at Michelle & Neil’s home. Everything was there for us. Comfy beds

Great location to walk to most places. Very clean and welcoming. Highly recommend it

Amazing location. The sound of wildlife was incredible both during the day and at night. The house was cosy and incredibly clean. A great spot for dogs to run around and be cosy inside as well.

We stayed here while working in the area and couldn’t have been happier. The home was spotless, well equipped, and really comfortable after long days on site. It’s in a great location, close to everything we needed. The host was easy to communicate with and made the whole process smooth. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others traveling for work or leisure!

Loved our stay! Doggies were free and loved their time nice and close to town but far enough away for peace and quiet. Lovely room for our little family holiday

We enjoyed this beautiful setting and Karen made us (and our doggo) feel very welcome. Gorgeous treetop and water views from bed and the deck. Comfy bed, spacious accommodation and everything we needed. We only stayed one night but would've loved a second.

Nice and cosy place. Value for money. Very quiet area.. surrounded by natural habitats..kangaroos and kookaburras can be seen early in the morning.. loved the place

We were only able to stay one night but really enjoyed our time there. The flat is the perfect size for a small family and was very clean. We would definitely stay again if we come back.

Great deal! If you are here to experience Crab catching, this is the best place to stay. You don’t have to buy or bring any gear’s like crab cage, rope, etc. the host can borrow you for free! All you need to prepare is the drumsticks. Great location with fare price, definitely would recommend to everyone!

We had the most incredible stay at this cabin! The location is absolutely unbeatable — just steps from a stunning beach with crystal-clear water and golden sand. Waking up to the sound of the waves and having morning coffee with ocean views felt like a dream. The cabin itself was cozy with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. It felt private and peaceful, but still close enough to explore nearby cafes and attractions. Couldn’t have asked for a better beach escape — we can’t wait to come back!

100% worth the stay! very clean, quiet and exactly as it looks in the pics. Stayed with 2 kids and there was a lot of space to spread out. kids loved it and so did we! host was super friendly and exceptionally responsive.

Beautiful peaceful property on the edge of town with lots of outdoor space. Our kids loved the pool, cubby and fire pit! Beautiful beach just down the bush track. And the house is very well set up.

Colleen's place is great for families with dogs. Big TV, good internet, hot shower, and a brisk 8 minute walk to the beach, it was exactly what we wanted! And unlike some other listings, the house is *actually* dog friendly - if your dogs love sitting on the couch (like ours do), Colleen was perfectly happy to let us cover the couch with a couple spare sheets (which we brought ourselves). The only thing missing was a pantry - but we probably cook more than most visitors. Will definitely be back!

Had a most wonderful stay at Fishpen Retreat. The property is super private, with lots of natural light, spacious with great living, dining and outdoor spaces. Peter was very responsive, and was so kind to supply firewood, with kept us warm and cosy throughout the evening chill. All amenities required were available for a very comfortably and cosy stay. Location is perfection! Right across the road from beach & Mitchie’s jetty and Merimbula lake on the opposite side. An easy walk into town if required - you cannot go wrong here! Highly recommend for a relaxing stay anytime of the year, warm or cold weather. Having stayed at many places in Merimbula in the past, can definitely say that this will be our preferred choice of accommodation for future visits. Thank you, Peter for accommodating on such short notice.
