Gippsland Lakes Escapes is a locally owned and operated holiday accommodation business, run by Kate Brown and family. We're built on exceptional hospitality, local community spirit, and a love for social enterprise.

Phil and Kate bring a wide background to the business, having worked in social and aid sectors across Southeast Asia, previously running Eagle Point Cottages, and pursuing a range of entrepreneurial ventures along the way. That mix shapes how we run things today: addressing social issues where we can, strengthening the local community, creating employment and skills-development opportunities, and supporting environmental sustainability.

We offer holiday homes to suit a range of stays - waterfront residences with private jetties along the canals and lakes, peaceful retreats nestled in Australian bushland, and contemporary places right in the heart of Paynesville. Whatever you choose, we hope it gives you the perfect escape to refresh, renew, and relax from the busyness of life.
