Rest and Recoup

We loved everything about Pelican Brief. The moment we opened the door and saw the canal view we knew we were going to be having 4 days of pure relaxation. Waiting for us on the kitchen bench was the most scrumptious loaf of fresh bread, butter and blueberry jam. This served us for all the days we weee there. The place is clean, a HD giant TV, lovely hot showers and a few quirky swans waiting for food at the bottom of the stairs on the canal. The pick up of the key was super easy and Paynesville is beautiful. We would recommend eating out at Sardine. We had the degustation menu and cannot fault this place one bit. It was AMAZING and is a one hat restaurant. Thankyou for letting my mum and I stay in your beautiful house. We would love to come and stay here again! Anita and Brigitte

Great location

Communication was great from the beginning. We had to adjust the guests and this was no problem. Check in was above and beyond as we were running late for check in but family was already in Paynesville and was able to collect the keys earlier than anticipated. Only issue for us was the off street parking as we had 4 cars in total and no access to garage but we made do. Loved the layout and the view of the channel in the mornings and evenings. Mozzies are an issue when there is a large body of water so remember your bug-off. Would suggest having a DVD player for those that don't have streaming services, we used our laptop to play a DVD for the kids. Few minor issues but we flagged this on departure as they weren't a major issue during our 4 night stay. Will definitely consider this property for our next stay in Paynesville.
