Accommodation Options
The Abbey Raymond Island offers eight self-contained motel rooms for individuals or groups. Family Rooms are spacious for three people, with large windows overlooking the garden. The Family Bungalow includes a kitchen for self-catering. Rooms come with two beds, a private bathroom, and tea and coffee making facilities. Some units include a microwave, fridge, and dishes. The chapel is available for quiet prayer and reflection.
Dining Facilities
The property has a commercial kitchen for communal dining and catering needs. Guests can use the BBQ facilities in the garden. There are no shops or restaurants on the island; meals can be enjoyed at restaurants in Paynesville, which is accessible via the free ferry. The Abbey provides a coffee and tea setup in rooms.
Leisure Activities
Onsite activities include hiking, fishing, and golfing. The property features a private beach, walking tracks, and a koala walk where you can spot koalas in the wild. Wildlife on the property includes kangaroos, echidnas, and birds. A large conference room and art studio are available for events. Outdoor furniture and a picnic area are provided.
Location Access
The Abbey is located on several acres of open bushland near Lake Victoria and the Gippsland Lakes area. It is a 5-minute walk from the koala trail and boardwalk. The island is accessed by a $15 ferry for cars (free for pedestrians) from Paynesville. Bairnsdale is 14 km away, and Lakes Entrance is 24 km away. Free parking is available on site.
Guest Services
Free WiFi is available near the reception area. The property offers a chapel for private prayer and reflection, and a commercial kitchen for group meals. Wheelchair accessible features include a toilet with grab rails and facilities for disabled guests. Family rooms and non-smoking rooms are available. The Abbey is part of the Australian Tourism Accreditation Program.
“The genuine warmth of the staff here, particularly their willingness to assist with logistics like the ferry, elevates the stay beyond the comfortable and clean rooms. Its location on Raymond Island is a considerable draw, placing you moments from waterfront access and directly on the path to abundant local wildlife encounters, including a remarkable number of koalas and kangaroos.”
