A Castle- Lakefront with a jetty & Pet friendly!

"How's the serenity!" A Castle, like it's namesake from the movie "The Castle", is an absolute waterfront property that edges the banks of Lake King. No powerlines in sight, just uninterupted views of the lake with the mountains in the background.

Sit on the deck in summer with a cheeky Chardonny, or inside by the open fire with a serene Shiraz during the mild winter months, watching the seabirds and boating activities, and simply "absorb the vibe"... This 3 bedroom property provides all that you would require for your seaside holiday. A fabulous location, with it's own private jetty for fishing or water sports. Experience beautiful sunrises over the lake in the morning and soak up the sun on your sheltered deck.

'A Castle', is only 6km from Paynesville village, where you will find restaurants and cafes, two supermarkets, and quaint shops, where you can purchase that special souvenir to remind you of your seaside holiday. Both the Paynesville Cruiser Club and the Old Paynesville Pub have courtesy buses, for your convenience, if you want a night out on the town, without the worry of drink driving.

Take one of the commercial cruises from either Paynesville, Lakes Entrance, or Metung, and explore the largest inland lake system in Australia, visiting the many ports and the magnificent 90 mile surf beach. If you are lucky enough to have your own boat, the possibilities are endless, and you can divert to the less visited Rottamah Island, Sperm Whale head, And Picnic Point, just to name a few.

The yard has a fully fenced backyard so your furry friends can enjoy your family holiday too. There are plenty of walking tracks that lead you to Paynesville, or down to the Mitchel river, and the Eagle Point wildlife sancturary. And there is wildlife in abundance! You are almost certain to see a mob of kangaroos in the afternoons along the Eagle Point to Paynesville walking track. Pelicans, plovers, kookaburras, cockatoos and parrots sharing your private garden space. Watch the dolphins gliding past, and the resident eagles soaring overhead.This really is an escape from the pressures of the city.

A castle also has it's own section of beach, for the children and the dogs to swim, or launch your kayaks and canoes for a row around the foreshore. Plenty of fishing to be enjoyed and cooked on the barbecue in the summer sun. Some of the best fishing to be had, is up one of the many rivers that feed into the lake system. The Mitchell river is within walking distance from 'A Castle' and provides ample shoreline to enjoy this relaxing activity.

A caretaker lives in a separate dwelling on the property so any small issues can be addressed immediately.

So many things to do and see. Why would you go anywhere else, 'Ahh, The Serenity'

Perfect, relaxing lake front get away
Right from the moment we opened the gates, we knew we had booked something special. It is obviously a well loved family holiday space. Our family group, consisting of 3 couples and 2 dogs, completely relaxed, being right on the lake front - but fenced if you had little ones, was exactly what we had hoped for. We hope to book again next summer.

Our stay at A Castle was everything we expected from the photos and listing. The location and facilities are excellent. It was very relaxing sitting on the undercover deck overlooking the water. Great to have a swim with our dog or a walk on the trail.

Lovely property
A great property in a lovely location. Our dogs really enjoyed the space to run around and we enjoyed that it was securely fenced. Beautiful view over lake from that great back deck. The resident swans and blue tongue lizards were a bonus! Wendy was an excellent host and responded really quickly to any enquiries.

Lovely relaxing retreat with beautiful views!
The house is spacious and decorated in an unusual eclectic style with a relaxed, coastal vibe. The open-plan kitchen, living, dining is linked by huge glas doors to the outside deck with beach, jetty and lake beyond. King Lake is a beautiful, large lake with changing vistas at all times of the day and a huge array of water birds to watch as they glide across the water and search for food. There is really no need to even leave the house if peace and tranquility is what you seek. If however you wish to explore the Gippsland Lakes, this is also the perfect base.

Perfect spot for family, dog and boat
We loved our mini break at the Castle. The place was absolutely perfect for what we were after - dog friendly, spacious, quiet and clean. We loved touches of interesting art by the owner and the views were beautiful. As soon as we arrived we knew we would be back one day, in summer or winter. Thank you, we will certainly recommend The Castle!
