Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Goughs Bay

How’s the serenity? Says it all. Not only an Aussie icon movie, the house lives up to it. The Doon has been a favourite destination for decades and the Castle has been a part of it. The lake is always spectacular whether it be sunrise or sunset, on a wooden deck, with a beer, some music. Absolute perfection !! The Doon Hotel will always be a favourite!! Thank you. Suffer in your jocks! We’ll be back!!

The house was really cozy and we had plenty of of room for everyone. The property was beautiful great for a break from the city to connect with nature. The host was great and they accomodated for changes on the amount of people. Overall great experience

Beautiful house and landscaped gardens, surrounded by farm and grazing cattle. The house inside is very stylish and comfortable with thoughtful pieces of art and furniture, the kitchen well equipped and spacious, perfect for hosting a group. The beds are really comfortable and plenty of space to unpack belongings, including a walk-in wardrobe in the master bedroom. The location of the property is close to Alexandra, which is a town which seems to have everything you need plus good coffee shops. I’d definitely recommend this place to others coming to the area.

We had an amazing time at Mitch's beautiful property, the house is spacious, clean and quiet at night, beds are so comfy and everything is clean and spotless, Mitch is very friendly and very prompt at responding requests. We enjoy the space so much we highly recommend to everyone ;) Thank you for having us!

My family and I had a fantastic weekend away. The house was clean and in great condition. Lots of necessities provided as well as clear instructions on checkout. Views from the house were incredible. Lots of wildlife we could see from the property too, birds, deer and cows next door. Price was extremely reasonable and lower than others in the area. Amanda was great to converse with, allowed for flexible check in and was quick to respond. Definitely worth the stay. Can’t wait to come back again

What a lovely place. The photos really do not do this place any justice. It's more spacious than expected. The boat ramp is about a 2 minute walk, really convenient when you've got a boat. The banks along the lake are quiet, making it easy to have a set-up along the water during the stay too. Bird seed is also provided, and the king parrots are friendly enough to eat out of your hands. We really enjoyed waking up to such great views each morning, and would definitely stay again in the future.

Stirling Homestead is a hidden jewel of the stunning Victorian High Country. Absolutely every aspect of this property is perfect. The hosts have thought of everything. Cannot wait to return.

Shelley and Simon’s place was beautiful! We enjoyed our stay and it was perfectly close by to the wedding that was in the area. It’s very private, close distance to the Main Street and lake - the house was very clean and well looked after. Would recommend this stay to all!

Melinda's place is perfectly situated in a quiet cul-de-sac just a block from the main street with its restaurants, cafes and pubs - and the best bookshop on NE Victoria! The house fronts a beautiful garden and everything inside is as you see in the photos - warm, comfortable, clean and welcoming. Melinda is a great host - unobtrusive but on-hand if you need anything. Communication and entry were very straightforward and easy. We highly recommend Creekside!

We enjoyed our stay here. Great location, amazing views, plenty of amenities, responsive and helpful staff.

Fabulous and relaxing night in the King Valley. 3 great bedrooms all with double beds gave us great spaces individually and to come together. Glorious views across the valley. Great breakfast and other supplied facilities

Very comfortable base for our cycling trips on the Great Victorian Rail trail. Good location, very walkable distance to shopping strip (and eating places etc.). Bath came in handy for post-ride aches! Lots of TVs, though you need to download Netflix etc. onto your own devices. Fridge is a little loud (cycles on and off), though the place itself is very quiet with only soft bird-song. Lots of heating in house (we didn't use the split-system cooler, as the weather wasn't hot at all when we were there).

5 stars – A Perfect Family Getaway! We had the most wonderful stay at The Jetty! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views of the lake—it truly feels like a hidden gem. The apartment itself is beautifully styled with unique and comfortable furnishings that make you feel right at home. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to create a cozy yet stylish space. It was the perfect spot for a family holiday. The kids loved exploring the area, and we enjoyed relaxing on the deck, soaking in the peaceful surroundings. We left feeling refreshed and already dreaming about our next visit. Highly recommend "The Jetty" for anyone looking for a special lakeside retreat!

We had a fantastic stay at Peak 202 over Easter for a family wedding—John was a wonderful host and the apartment was perfect. Just steps from the village and Chamois ski run, the location couldn’t be better. The views from the floor-to-ceiling windows were stunning, and the space was warm, welcoming, and well-equipped. Our family felt completely at home with three spacious bedrooms, a spa bath, drying room, full laundry, and a great kitchen with everything from a Nespresso machine to a dishwasher. The gas fireplace, Smart TVs, free WiFi, and heated balcony with BBQ made it extra cozy and convenient. Keyless entry and thoughtful extras like games and a secure parking space really stood out. Everything was spotless, stylish, and designed with comfort in mind. Thanks, John, for a memorable and seamless stay—we’ll definitely return to Peak 202!

Great place to get away and relax, clean, great views and quiet! Thanks for having us.

We had an amazing stay at Lynton’s place! It was fully equipped with everything we needed and more, making our stay incredibly comfortable. The river was fantastic, and the neighborhood was lovely and peaceful. Lynton was a fantastic host—very friendly and took the time to explain everything in detail, which we really appreciated. The detailed information he provided was extremely helpful, making our stay smooth and enjoyable. We had a great time and would love to visit again. Highly recommend this place!

Very happy with our stay at Phillips home in Eildon. Very spacious house for the whole family, great amenities and great part of town. Sitting by the fire pit at night and enjoying the clear night sky was highlight. Would recommend and stay again!

Sam and Liz were lovely hosts, always responsive to checking in/out and any questions throughout our stay! Beautiful, spacious and peaceful property which we explored all hours of the day! Highly recommend when staying in Kinglake!

Hayley was an excellent host. Helpful and responsive. Highly recommended!

Beautiful stay and perfect for spending time with the family. Place was exactly as described and the host Tinne went above and beyond to stock the fridge with food essentials to ensure a comfortable stay. Highly recommended

The home was pristine clean yet warm on arrival. Everything was there that was needed. Excellent location, and exceptional host. Will stay again!
