Swan Cove

Directions Website

Swan Cove This Tudor style house is located on Raymond Island, 6km's from the Paynesville township on 10 acres of bushland with tall trees in a parklike setting.

Tudor style cottages located on the beach of one of the most beautiful places on Raymond Island. 10 acres of natural bushland including 3 acres of landscaped garden, fruits and vegetables. Secluded off a beautiful long winding driveway, the house with it's two built in 2 storey cottages is but a few metres from the water's edge, has a safe sandy beach which stretches for miles on this side of the island. There is no road between the house and beach! Each cottage accommodates 4 people. This area in Gippsland is well known for its mild climate in winter, and cooling sea breezes in the hot summertime. It is surely one of the finest inland lake locations in Victoria, indeed Australia. It offers great variety such as swimming, bushwalking, sailing, boating, fishing, bowling and golf. The prawns run right out the front in summer and the owners have available sea kayaks to explore the lakes system. We offer truly peaceful, exclusive and tranquil surroundings in which to relax and be close to unspoiled nature. Resident on this property are koalas, echidnas, two tawny frog mouth owls, sea eagles and kangaroos and their babies. The name of the property is a tribute to all the birdlife including black swans, pelicans, albatrosses, spoonbills, ibises, caspian terns, crimson and eastern rosellas, swift parrots, blue wrens, flame robins, azure kingfishers and many more. Add yoga classes, mediation and nutrition assessments for those wanting to add wellness to their holiday. Weekly yoga including chair yoga are held at Paynesvillle RSL. Vehicular ferry from Paynesville costs $13 return trip. Bicycles and pedestrians are free. THIS IS A NON-SMOKING PROPERTY. RAYMOND ISLAND IS A NATURE RESERVE AND AS SUCH WE DO NOT CATER FOR DOGS AND CATS.

This is always the best time to visit Raymond Island in East Gippsland because the Joey Koalas ( babies )are being shown off by their proud parents. It is active on the Island because our bird life is in full swing. The Tawny Frogmouth’s babies are now leaving their nests too. Koalas are marsupials from Australia that eat eucalyptus leaves. They have unique fingerprints and communicate with grunts, barks, & bellows.

— feeling blessed in Raymond Island.

❤️ THE END OF AN ERA, THE BEGINNING OF A NEW CHAPTER ❤️

After 13 wonderful years on beautiful Raymond Island, the time has come for me to put Swan Cove on the market and begin a new chapter in my life. 🏡🌿

Swan Cove has been so much more than a home. It has been a dream, a labour of love, and a very special part of my life. There have been 13 years of memories, hard work, beautiful moments and the joy of sharing this little piece of paradise with so many wonderful guests.

I will always treasure the friendships made, the people who have crossed my path, and the incredible experience of calling this special place home. 💚

As bittersweet as it is to say goodbye, I feel the time is right to embrace change, welcome new adventures and discover what life has in store for me next.

Swan Cove is for sale, and while one chapter is coming to an end, another is just beginning. ✨

Thank you to everyone who has been part of the Swan Cove journey over the past 13 years. Your support, friendship and beautiful memories will always mean so much to me.

Here’s to new beginnings, exciting possibilities and the adventures still to come. ❤️🥂
