Vacation rentals with a kayak in Goulburn River

We had a large group (9 people) stay for two nights for a local wedding. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing at the house with the peaceful surroundings, spending most of our time on the back deck and backyard area. The addition of the fire pit, bbq, and the kayaks made the place even better. We would not hesitate to return! Absolutely recommend.

The place is great if you love water sports, it has everything you need including stunning views and lots of kayaks and this and that. Loved it! Went as two families with kids and with such a close proximity to water and playground, well equiped kitchen and easy instructions it was wonderful.

Great place to stay if you love the lake. We had a JetSki that you could moor and leave at the water with a gazebo. Short JetSki to Jews if you needed the shop. Not far to Mansfield for supplies. Lake at 80% so the water pretty high at the time. Extremely clean and great room set up for individual families to have privacy when needed. Great hosts. Thanks for the stay.

Absolutely exquisite! The home is bathed in beautiful natural light, with stunning views and an abundance of space - perfect for larger groups. It’s even more spacious and picturesque than the photos suggest. The location couldn’t be better, with a scenic lakeside walk right at the back doorstep and shops just a short distance away. Karen was a pleasure to communicate with - friendly, responsive, and accommodating to our needs. The home is thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to return!

We were looking for a quiet family weekend away and it was just what we needed! Absolutely loved our stay - the accommodation and location was perfect. It was cold and rainy all weekend so the fireplace was a win! We still managed to explore the area a bit despite the rain, which was lovely - nice and central for some great day trips Trentham, Kyneton and Daylesford. Lovely walks around the property too! Our fur child loved her time too, she was fascinated with the kangaroos and bunnies.

Great place for our crew to stay whilst working at local schools. Would highly recommend!

We had a great relaxing time with two families. We enjoyed the house and its surroundings. The house was very clean with all ammenities! We appreciate the host who was always very responsive. Would recommend!

The location is beautiful and the accommodation everything you could need or want! Comfortable and serene. We loved it and will definately be back!

It was great to stay at Kerrin’s cottage. The place has breathtaking views for sunset and is very close to Great Victorian Trail. Absolutely loved staying here.

Had a wonderful stay in the cottage for an anniversary. Great location by some beautiful state forest. Very cozy spending time by the fireplace.

A rare gem—pure bliss by the lake! We stayed one night at Cottage by the Lake, but it felt like a world away from everything. Just 5 minutes from Hanging Rock, this stunning waterfront property features two tranquil lakes, complete with a rowboat and kayaks that guests are free to enjoy. The cottage itself is warm, inviting, and beautifully appointed with a wood fireplace (firewood generously supplied). The upper-level attic bedroom is spacious and cosy, while the well-stocked kitchen had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Hosts Ann and Kevin were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We’d be remiss not to mention Jock, the sweetest dog who welcomed us on arrival and came by for regular visits. He loves pats and hugs and truly made us feel at home. This place is a nature lover’s paradise—kangaroos all around, stunning views, and absolute peace. A rare find we won’t forget. Wish we stayed longer. We will be back for a longer visit next time!

We had a great time. Sue took the time to show us around the paddocks and to feed the animals. We could then roam the paddocks at our leisure. The accommodation was just as described and had everything we needed for a peaceful weekend away.

Beautiful location, peaceful and relaxing. Loved everything about it especially all the extra details that are put into this property. Thank you Janine for being so accommodating and very responsive. Absolutely love my stay.

Susan's place was exactly what we were looking for for a weekend getaway from Melbourne. It's close enough for an easy drive, lovely scenery, and a very comfortable place to stay. Lancefield was the closest town which had all of the the food and restaurant options we could use. The bed was fantastic, and there were extra blankets, towels, and enough cutlery and crockery for a couple of people on a weekend away. We had tea, coffee, and very kindly some fruit and biscuits for us on arrival which made it feel right at home. The property is listed as pet friendly, and it's so well organised for the pup that we had everything at hand that we needed including towels to keep her dry when it was raining outside. The hot tub was great, and although the weather wasn't fantastic, it was lovely to spend the evening in. I could go on, but if you're reading this, and need a short stay away in the country this is the place to be.

Amazing location! Incredible set up! Just a beautiful property! The Lake was a low which made it a little hard to access, but we made it work and still caught fish, enjoyed a kayak and plenty of swimming.

What an amazing and cozy little cottage, privately located in the bush, loads of wildlife, I saw deer, roos, wallabys and wombats! Amanda and Rob were extremely accommodating and helpful and have amazing blueberry liqueur which is worth the visit alone. Highly recommend for a relaxing and cosy stay.

Cris was excellent host. Everything was there for us. Unfortunately weather wasn't good to enjoy the big fire pit. We will come back during good weather to enjoy the fire pit. Excellent outdoor settings to have morning breakfast or BBQ
