We live rurally on 5 acres in beautiful East Gippsland, approximately 4 hours East of Melbourne. The area includes rivers, ocean, beaches, bush and the magnificent Gippsland Lakes. Our property is 20 minutes drive to either Bairndale or Lakes Entrance, and a 2 minute walk to the East Gippsland Rail Trail. The house is comfortable, light and open, with access to a verandah all around. The view from the house is beautiful - trees, dam, large veggie patch. Two bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 work rooms. Open plan living, dining and kitchen. Kitchen is very well stocked with a gas cooktop and electric oven. A solid wood heater and a split system. Internet access. Ours is an unsealed, dead end road, with 5 good neighbour properties. We have a cycling tour set in Central Australia. We will drive rather than fly, so are looking at 6 days up and 6 back via Melbourne. The tour itself is 8 days. We're still working out the route, so that the drive is comfortable. We would like you to come several days early to get to know Charley and she you, and the house and garden. If you need to stay several days after our return, you are welcome to.
