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.

Lovely logde

The Lodge was perfect for us and our dog. Lovely view of the countryside and garden, quiet and a great location for exploring the area. The Lodge was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful with suggestions of what was good to do in the area. A lovely few days. Thanks.

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.
