Ultimate country escape with outdoor hot tub, pizza oven and privacy

Country House Retreat is the perfect rural holiday home, nestled on 50 acres of countryside just minutes from Lakes Entrance and Metung, but a world away from the holiday crowds.

You will be swept away by the experience this secluded country home offers –set up for couples, families and friends to enjoy country living with coastal beaches, tourist villages and the magnificent Gippsland Lakes in close proximity.

The contemporary home features a large entertainment deck with pizza oven, BBQ and outdoor dining, overlooking a peaceful dam and rolling pastures. An outdoor heated spa provides year round relaxation and fun for young and old. The house has ramp access for wheelchairs, plus handrails in the ensuite bathroom.

Consisting of four bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this home will comfortably accommodate 10 people. The main bedroom features a king coil queen bed, with a sublime ensuite offering views of the native bushland behind the property, plus a walk in robe. Two bedrooms feature trilogy bunks (double bed with single up top), with the fourth bedroom offering a king coil king size bed or the option of two single beds.

The kitchen is stocked to feel like a home away from home. Slow cook, blend, stir fry or sizzle your way to a fabulous meal with cooktop, oven and microwave. Plenty of plastic ware for the little people in your lives and dining outdoors, plus salt and pepper, cooking spray, foil, cling wrap are supplied for your convenience. If you’re not on duty keep the chef company in the open plan kitchen/dining area as you admire views of the country side from each window. Coffee pod machine and arrival tea/coffee amenities are also provided to get you off to a good start.

In the cooler months enjoy a cosy log fire (with all wood provided), or just switch on the split system for instant warmth and comfort. Stretch out on the plush leather sofa for some screen time in front of the 55 inch HD TV, or plug your favourite tunes into the portable speaker and dance like no-one’s watching (did we mention the privacy and seclusion?).

Deluxe hotel quality linen and towels are provided for each guest. For stays exceeding 7 nights’ fresh linen and towels are provided on a complimentary basis. Laundry features LG washing machine plus all the things you’ll need to keep your house in order after a day at the beach.

Traveling With Pets

Pets that are clean and flea free are most welcome but must be past the chewing phase. Pets are permitted to enter the house and stay on non-carpeted areas. Pets are not permitted into the carpeted bedrooms for hygiene reasons.

One large or two smaller dogs are permitted per stay. If your furry friend prefers the great outdoors there is a chain dog run adjacent to the homestead for your pet to stretch their legs. The house yard is also securely fenced for children and pets to roam freely and safely around the lawn area.

Naturally, we expect you to pick up after your pet, and provide scooper and bags for this purpose. Please be aware that any additional cleaning required from pets or damage caused to furniture or fittings will incur additional charges on your credit card.

Experience the Best of East Gippsland

If you need some ideas to experience the best of what our region has to offer, you'll find brochures, maps and visitor information on arrival to plan the perfect itinerary.

Country House Retreat is situated next to our farm so we'll also be on hand to welcome you when you arrive, and if there's anything you need to make your stay more enjoyable.

Here it's only 4 minutes drive to the Gippsland Lakes, and if you're bringing a boat we can provide private jetty access to berth your boat on.

If you'd prefer to be lakeside, check out the listing for our sister property, Jetty Road Retreat.

A lovely house for a weekend away
We had a lovely weekend staying at this property. The house and surrounding garden were both beautiful. We saw so many different birds, including a pair of king parrots. The house is warm and welcoming, and all of the beds are super comfortable. Thank you for a lovely stay, we hope to come back and stay again sometime!

I’m not one who normally writes reviews/feedbacks. However, I’ve nothing but positive remarks for Kim & Steve. They’ve really gone all out to make our family getaway a heart warming one. The Country House Retreat really makes me feel that we’re “Home Away From Home”. Thanks Kim & Steve.

A country retreat
This was a great location, 15 minutes from a tourist destination, set back on a quiet road. You can have a relaxing holiday with very little activities, or as a base to explore the area. The spa was great and offered that relaxing time that many need when on holiday. For those who like to cook there is the wood fired pizza oven. The house is surrounded by a fence that kept our dog in. We really had a great time, enjoying the peace and tranquility of the country. We would highly recommend staying here.

Amazing stay!
We had a great stay at the country house retreat. Steve and Kim were excellent hosts, very easy to communicate with and accomodating to our needs. The house was beautiful, in a very convenient location and provided everything you could ever need. We had a great stay sitting by the fire, cooking wood fired pizza and relaxing in the spa. Would highly recommend.

Everything we could ask for
We had to cancel our regular Qld holiday and rebook in the Gippsland Lakes. Staying at Country House Retreat made us almost forget we were ever going to go to Qld. This quiet, beautiful and comfortable setting gave us the best of the country and the beach life. The house is even better than it looked in the photos and had everything we needed for a great stay. Our kids spent time with the farm animals and we all loved roaming the private bushland behind the house. Whilst the owners were always available to answer any queries, we had complete privacy. Sitting out on the deck watching the birds in the warm evenings was blissful. We absolutely loved our stay and it has made us reconsider our regular Qld trip.

So peaceful
We have just had a wonderful 6 night stay at the house. My family and my sisters family (total of 6) thoroughly enjoyed our time at the house and enjoyed the areas activities. The house is well proportioned and appointed, we particularly enjoyed the deck and the pizzas we made in the wood fired oven. The outlook is glorious, so quiet and tranquil yet so close to Metung and Lakes Entrance. I recommend the house highly as a place to except to yet be close to facilities and lots of fun activities.

Beautiful Property
This is a lovely, big home located on beautiful land. Being pet-friendly was a major bonus for us, as were all the other add-ons; pizza oven, spa, games area and outside fire. The house is roomy, comfortable and very well equipped. The inside fire does an outstanding job of keeping the house warm on the cold winter nights we experienced. We had a wonderful time and look forward to coming back soon.
