Take a short stroll down to the lakefront at the end of the road to swim, boa

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.

Great location
Our stay in this house was great. The location was perfect for walks along the foreshore with the dogs and we witnessed some amazing sunrises. The garden was good for pets and the house was comfortable for our family. Key collection was easy.

Amazing
The house is so cute and was perfect for us and our Dog. Great location and everything was at the property that we needed. We even got gifted some local honey and coffee for our stay, which was such a nice gesture. Relaxing getaway was just what we needed and the shack definitely provided that. Thank you 😊 Will definitely be booking again in the future!

Location, location!
The property is very simple but in a fantastic location. It was all we needed and we had a fantastic week exploring around Paynesville. The community centre just opened across the road and looks like it is serving coffees (though we did not make it there). The main bed was very hard and there wasn’t enough PowerPoints for the bedside lights - not so great for reading in bed, but easily fixed. There was a mould problem in the toilet that really needs fixing to stop long term rot. It’s a classic 1960’s place. Overall we loved our time there and would definitely go back!

Good location
The place was situated in a really nice location, wth beautiful views over the lake. Got some great suggestions when check in on things to do around the area. The place is a little run down and felt like it needed a deep clean but overall we enjoyed our stay.
