    Raymond Island was fantastic and we got to see koalas in the wild. The Abbey was basic but all we needed for 1 night stay.

    Rooms a bit tired. Very slippery floors on bathroom, no shower curtain so floor was awash. Small tea and coffee space with power cords pulled in and out depending on the appliance used. Only cooking was the in-room microwave and a jug, tiny refrigerator.

    The location was excellent. Welcomed by a large number of kangaroos. Quite, only guests on this site. Kaola walks and bushland walks beaut and age friendly, flat trails. Wi-Fi and TV was very good. Take insect repellent year round. A small island with no shops, a bonus, but also a problem if ill-prepared.

    The Abbey is a lovely place to stay - a little oasis in the busyness of life. We loved having access to a private beach, walking on Raymond Island and seeing the wildlife. The cottage provided good accommodation for our small family holiday. Having a kitchen meant that we could self-cater, and we enjoyed meals in the restaurants in Paynesville each evening.

    Great get away, location was amazing, had it's own private little beach, had a little church and plenty of grounds for activities and kids to run amongst the wallabies.

    Bed clothes will need updating to achieve a higher rating.

    We paid $14 for a car and 2 adults to get to the Island. We parked our car at the Abbey and started to unload our bags. There was a Koala sitting in a tree above our car. Other sightings included kangaroos, echidna and many types of birds. There are no shops or restaurants on the island but you can catch the ferry back to Paynesville for free at anytime.

    Rooms could replace towels as they were clean but thin and old. Rooms all have a nice aspect of the garden but are not private, as other guests walk past to reach their rooms and the large windows look directly over the bed although, they have a curtain it could do with an inner lining to let in light but provide privacy. Washing up dishes in the bathroom sink is also feels a little unhygenic.

    An amazing location near the waters edge and directly connected to the loop of the Koala Trail which was aan amazing experience to see koals in the wild. The room was very clean, bed comfortable with all the basics provided for self catering ( microwave, dishes cutlery & fridge).

    The cutlery in the room was dirty and is not acceptable. Exhaust was not working in 2 out of 3 bathrooms. Some towels were not clean as well. Finally, the slope in the showers was not right as water was coming out when bathing.

    The property is at a superb location nestled between trees with beautiful open spaces.

    Rooms could use some TLC and helpful items (tissues, more towels, coffee, etc. for three people for 2 nights).

    Location awesome. As no one came until Good Friday, we had the place to ourselves with our own kangaroos and koala. What could be better?

    Dated furniture, slight unkept paintwork. Security light is annoying and shines straight into the room.

    Roo’s greeted us in the garden. Koalas in trees! What’s not to love! Quiet location. Easy to find. Well stocked with coffee, tea, sugar, milk. Slept well. Shower was powerful and plenty of hot water
