About this property

Lakeside Abode at Taylor Bay | Lake Eildon

  • Nestled along the Taylor Bay shoreline this ‘Pan Abode’ cedar cabin epitomises a lakeside getaway. Located on an acre of native bushland in the picturesque Kookaburra Cove at the far end of Taylor Bay Left Arm Road, the property boasts deep water frontage, ensuring direct lake access regardless of the lake level.

    Vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling windows frame the breathtaking views of Lake Eildon from every room of this retreat. Perfectly sized to accommodate a family or up to two couples for a weekend away or a longer holiday, the perfect location of Taylor Bay is Lake Eildon’s closest waterfront hamlet to Melbourne and this house is one of Taylor Bay’s best!

    Beautifully refreshed with contemporary amenities the home offers a spectacular view across the lake with frequent visits from native wildlife including kangaroos, parrots, rosellas, cockatoos and kookaburras. We provide bird seed and the birds will often feed from your hand. A central open plan living domain overlooks expansive timber decking for a seamless indoor/outdoor experience. Large indoor and outdoor dining tables cater for all guests comfortably, and with a fully equipped kitchen including a 900mm gas stove/oven, full sized fridge, dishwasher, microwave, rice cooker and sandwich press you will be able to be fully self-sufficient for your stay. Custom made furniture and beautiful leather lounges add to the appeal of the large living area. The floorplan includes two bedrooms serviced by two bathrooms and signature views of the native flora and fauna from each room. Beds are fitted with electric blankets, doonas and pillows (please bring your own linen and towels).

    Enjoy the freedom of a lakefront property with water sports, swimming and beautiful nature experiences on the doorstep. Best shared with those you love, the home promises an effortless stay with a wood heater for winter, air conditioning and ceiling fans, hammocks and deck chairs on the deck, BBQ, a 65 inch TV, WiFi, table tennis table and a multitude of board-games provided for family and friends to enjoy.

    Early check in and late check out are often possible and will be confirmed a few days prior to your stay. Pets are welcome but please note that the property is not fenced.

    Please note that Left Arm Rd is an unsealed gravel road, approximately 3 km in length. The property is accessible by 2WD, with undercover parking for up to two vehicles. If you are towing, we recommend using a 4WD or AWD for easier access. There is space on the property to turn your boat around and store your trailer. For boat launching, we recommend using the Alliance Boat Ramp in Eildon or the Main Ramp at Lake Eildon National Park. While there is no jetty or pontoon, you are welcome to moor your boat at the front of the property (stakes are provided).

    Equipped to enjoy contemporary comfort amongst an outdoor haven, we look forward to welcoming you to the serenity of our Lakeside Abode, we know you will love it!
