Sometimes the best getaways are the simple ones.
Sometimes the best getaways are the simple ones. Le Grand Villa 5 gives two guests a comfortable place to call home while discovering the charm of Raymond Island, complete with your own bedroom, living area, bathroom, and fully equipped kitchen. Step outside to your portico overlooking the shared lawn, fire up the communal BBQ, and settle into a holiday with a little less hustle and bustle.
Take a walk and see how many koalas you can spot, watch for kangaroos around the island, or wander towards the water and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. If you fancy a café breakfast or dinner out, Paynesville is only around six minutes away by ferry. It's close enough to enjoy whenever you like, while still letting you retreat back to the calm of island life.
