1 Bedroom House in Taylor Bay, Lake Eildon
'The Shack' has undergone a major rennovation with no expense spared. After almost 20 years of fun for family, friends & visitors in our beloved tiny shack, it was time to upgrade. The one outdoor dunny has become three indoor thrones including an ensuite. Ducted heating & cooling plus a stunning Cheminees Philippe fireplace are all sure to keep you comfy no matter the time of year.
The kitchen & meals areas are the heart of the shack; ready to feed you & your friends with electric oven, gas hot plates, dishwasher, double fridge (with ice maker & filtered water), microwave & everything you need to whip up a feast. The large wooden table indoors can easily accommodate 10 people around it plus there's an outdoor table on the back deck - perfect to catch the sun in the morning. A big six burner BBQ on the back deck also awaits the tong master/mistress.
Master room (plus ensite) has a king bed (with Super King linen), the other bedrooms can sleep up to 8 people. All linen, including pillows, doonas, sheets & bath towels are provided. All mattresses have mattress protectors & the same for pillows (of which there are spares to suit your taste).
Upstairs has a large flat screen smart TV plus satelite TV & is surrounded by luxurious furniture & soft furnishings. The kids have their own rumpus room downstairs with a big TV, leather sofa & bean bags.
The new improved decks are appointed with outdoor furniture to ensure you don't miss the wonderful lake views & sunset drink opportunities. Internet has had an upgrade to Starlink too plus the board games cupboard is well stocked.
So, if the deep waters of Lake Eildon, via a small 5 knot cove at the secluded end of the Right Arm of Taylor Bay in our brand new, luxuriously appointed home, sounds like your perfect holiday rental property then you have found it at ‘The Shack’.
The lake can be easily accessed by foot, with free and easy boat launching at the Alliance boat ramp in Eildon alongside the lake wall (~15 mins drive).
The cove in front of the house is wonderful for swimming & mooring your boat as it is free of large trees & debris. It has also been a successful fishing spot for many anglers all year round given the depth of the water.
You will also enjoy making use of the comfortable & well shaded day-barge parked adjacent to the property to moor your boat & to swim or fish from.
There is plenty of space to park your trailer or an additional car.
There are no pets permitted on the property, in order to encourage the wildlife to remain & for hygiene/allergy reasons. Smoking is NOT permitted inside.
Location
The Right Arm of Taylor Bay is secluded, access to the lake is limited to residents only via a sealed road. It is all the more special given it proximity to ‘civilisation’; only ~10 mins to Eildon township, ~15 mins to the dam wall & boat launching facilities & ~30 mins to the larger town of Alexandra.
Most homes in the Taylor Bay area are situated on 1-2 acres of land & are mostly occupied by friendly holiday makers who would always be willing to help a friend in need. We ask that you are considerate of neighbours, keeping late night noise to a minimum & refraining from walking on or using neighbours property.
The property is ~2 hours drive from Melbourne along the Maroondah Highway via the magnificent Yarra Valley and through the Black Spur. The area is surrounded by many bush walks, 4WD tracks, great places to eat & lots of opportunities to scurry away with a good book; there really is something for everyone all year round.
The close proximity of the lake to the house & the surrounding bush environment means that we remind you of the associated risks, especially those with young children. We accept no liability for loss or injury.
Like most Taylor Bay properties, our driveway is a dirt road & can be rough, especially after heavy rains, it is not recommended for a low/sports car.
