Swan Cove

Swan Cove This Tudor style house is located on Raymond Island, 6km's from the Paynesville township on 10 acres of bushland with tall trees in a parklike setting.

Tudor style cottages located on the beach of one of the most beautiful places on Raymond Island. 10 acres of natural bushland including 3 acres of landscaped garden, fruits and vegetables. Secluded off a beautiful long winding driveway, the house with it's two built in 2 storey cottages is but a few metres from the water's edge, has a safe sandy beach which stretches for miles on this side of the

island. There is no road between the house and beach! Each cottage accommodates 4 people. This area in Gippsland is well known for its mild climate in winter, and cooling sea breezes in the hot summertime. It is surely one of the finest inland lake locations in Victoria, indeed Australia. It offers great variety such as swimming, bushwalking, sailing, boating, fishing, bowling and golf. The prawns run right out the front in summer and the owners have available sea kayaks to explore the lakes system. We offer truly peaceful, exclusive and tranquil surroundings in which to relax and be close to unspoiled nature. Resident on this property are koalas, echidnas, two tawny frog mouth owls, sea eagles and kangaroos and their babies. The name of the property is a tribute to all the birdlife including black swans, pelicans, albatrosses, spoonbills, ibises, caspian terns, crimson and eastern rosellas, swift parrots, blue wrens, flame robins, azure kingfishers and many more. Add yoga classes, mediation and nutrition assessments for those wanting to add wellness to their holiday. Weekly yoga including chair yoga are held at Paynesvillle RSL. Vehicular ferry from Paynesville costs $13 return trip. Bicycles and pedestrians are free. THIS IS A NON-SMOKING PROPERTY. RAYMOND ISLAND IS A NATURE RESERVE AND AS SUCH WE DO NOT CATER FOR DOGS AND CATS.

Breakfast shared with a pair of curious crimson rosellas, while the first light of sunrise painted the sky. It’s a gentle reminder that nature asks nothing of us except that we slow down long enough to notice.

These quiet moments are the true luxury of country living. ❤️🌅🦜

🍞🔥 Gather around the warmth of the fire and learn the timeless craft of sourdough baking.
A few places remain in our Sourdough Workshop on Saturday 4 July, part of the East Gippsland Winter Festival.
Join us at Swan Cove for a cosy morning of flour-dusted hands, slow fermentation, and the simple pleasure of creating beautiful artisan bread from scratch. We’ll share the traditional techniques, tips, and tricks that transform humble ingredients into a crusty, nourishing loaf.
Take home your own sourdough starter, new knowledge, and inspiration for many loaves to come.
Winter is a season for slowing down, gathering together, and enjoying life’s simple pleasures. We’d love you to join us.

Winter is made for slow mornings, cosy corners and good books. 📚❄️

A huge thank you to our wonderful Workawayer, Andrew, who built this beautiful new bookshelf for the Beach Cottage. It’s already filled with novels, local guides and favourite reads for guests to enjoy during their stay.

There’s something special about curling up with a book while listening to the birds, watching the water, and staying warm indoors on a chilly winter day.

What’s on your reading list this winter?
