When you visit the heart of the Gippsland Lakes, you’ll quickly realize that the local lifestyle revolves around the water and the incredible natural beauty that surrounds us. At Gippsland Holidays, we love sharing our local knowledge to help you discover the most iconic attractions in Paynesville. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the sight of sleek yachts gliding through the canals and the peaceful atmosphere of our lakeside village. One of the must-see attractions in Paynesville is the famous Raymond Island Koala Walk; just a quick, free ferry ride across the strait allows you to wander through the trees and spot koalas, kangaroos, and colorful birdlife in their natural habitat.
Whether you are an avid fisherman, a fan of water sports, or someone who prefers a quiet stroll along the foreshore with a gelato in hand, there is something here for everyone. We recommend taking a boat cruise to explore the hidden silt jetties or enjoying a long lunch at a waterfront cafe while watching the sunset over the masts. At Gippsland Holidays, we believe the best way to experience these highlights is by staying like a local. Let us help you plan your next escape so you can immerse yourself in all the wonderful sights and experiences our region has to offer.
