About this property

Gingko Lodge. Country luxury with a view.

A delightful self contained Poured Earth building 500 metres from the East Gippsland Rail Trail and 3 minutes from the Great Alpine Way. An easy drive from Metung Hot Springs. Perfectly located to explore the area. Fully renovated with hand rendered walls, polished concrete floor, full kitchen, reverse cycle heating and cooling with the added luxury of a wood fired heater and a swish bathroom. Guests love the open plan design which creates an instant impact when you walk in. You will enjoy relaxing in the courtyard looking at the wonderful rural view. The wood fired Chiminea creates a romantic atmosphere for some awesome star gazing or to enjoy a glass of wine by.
The large garden is perfect for spreading out a rug and relaxing while listening to the birds.

Mossiface is only 35 minutes from the Gippsland Lakes and the 90 mile beach at Lakes Entrance where you can enjoy the beach, takea cruise on the Lakes or try some fishing.

Guests love spending some time at the new Hot Springs complex Metung where you can enjoy soaking in the hot mineral filled water while admiring a wonderful view of the lakes. Check out the Pub and local shops while there.

East Gippsland is known for fishing with the choice of Lake, open sea and river fishing. If you have a boat the closest launching site is the Tambo River at Johnsonville, a mere 10 minutes away, where you can either stay in the river or motor into the lake system.

Take a day and travel up the Great Alpine Road to historic Omeo and the old gold fields. From Omeo you can continue on to Dinner Pain and Mount Hotham or wind your way home via Cassilis. Alternatively a trip to the quaint little town of Buchan and it's famous caves is well worth doing. Note that you need to pre book to take a caves tour. There is so much to see in this beautiful part of Victoria. Visit our wineries and galleries or explore the National parks and many walking tracks.

Perfect retreat

I spent delightful four nights at Gingko Lodge on a bit of a solo winter retreat (with my two dogs). It was a delightful, peaceful, comfortable and relaxing stay. The studio had a great wood fire, and north facing terrace was lovely to return home to each day after going out exploring. Definitely recommended.

Delightful location

Really loved this place, from the wonderful hosts to the incredible fine detail such as pretty houseplants & umbrella for inclement weather. Lots of driving to get to places such as caves & homestead but was so worth it for the stunning views, huge variety of birds set in a super comfy house. My hubby's quite disabled so the spacious walk- in shower, no steps anywhere & king bed madeit extra special. We will be back for sure. :))

Beautiful & peaceful stay

Gingko Lodge was the perfect booking for our New Years get away! We booked super last minute, and although Gingko was the one of the few options available, we were soooo happy we got to stay here. It is unsuspectingly beautiful little lodge, with a great terrace to have your morning coffee. The space was perfect for our dog to run around in, and the location is close enough to Bruthen for a feed, or out to Paynesville or Lakes Entrance for some sight seeing - but its far enough away that you have your own secluded spot away from the noise. Mae their dog is a cutie & our dog Carter got on with her great. Joy & Jeff were lovely hosts. The house was beautifully kept & clean. We'll definitely be coming back!

It was such a pleasure to stay at Ginko Lodge. The house was so comfortable and in a beautiful area of the Gippsland Lakes perfect for a getaway. We had our dog with us and that was absolutely no problem having her in the house. We found the hosts extremely accommodating and would recommend this place.
