About this cottage rental
Where else in the world can you visit the skifields and national parks on one day and fish by the beach and play a round of golf the next ? Maeburn Cottages in Metung.
Whether you require relaxation and privacy, a romantic getaway, family holiday, a boating / fishing / golfing trip, or a one night stopover, Maeburn Cottages has it all ! The ideal lakeside country retreat for couples, families and friends.
Enjoy a GREAT stay in beautiful Metung all year round.
Maeburn Cottages are located a short stroll to the pristine waters of Lake King in Metung, an up-market fishing village on the shores of the spectacular Gippsland Lakes in East Gippsland Victoria, which form the largest inland waters in Australia.
2 min drive to Metung Village. Local shops include a general store, pharmacy, post shop real-estates and Seven Sundays boutique ladies clothing, METUNG pub on the water, bakery, takeaway, wood fired pizza, Aroma Greek restaurant, great coffee shops and florist.
Farmers market on the Village Green on the second Sat morning of each month.

The property is set in an acre of established gardens, amidst native trees that play home to a large number of rare bird species. Indeed a twitchers paradise. Enjoy identifying more than 130 varieties of birdlife.
The family-style holiday cottages are positioned for privacy and offer quality furnishings throughout with your comfort in mind.
Plenty of adjacent parking with ample room for the boat and trailer. Each cottage has a ramp for easy access.
Maeburn's lakeside retreat truly is a home away from home.
The Lakes promote numerous water sports, such as sailing regattas, safe boating, fishing competitions (e.g. The Bream Classic), kayaking, windsurfing waterskiing and jet skiing.
Explore the Lakes by ferry or book an Eco-cruise to see the seals and dolphins.
Other outdoor pursuits include, hiking trails, bush walking, cycling and golf. We are just around the corner from the prestigious Ted Parslow architect designed resort-style Kings Cove Golf Course (visitors welcome) the

The cabin has everything, including electric blankets which we appreciated in August. The yard is safe and large for dogs. We woke to magpie song. Dorothy and Alwyn could not have been more welcoming.

5.0
Very happy with Maeburn Cottages. The cottage was very comfortable and Metung is a destination of choice. It was great to take the dogs also.
5.0
We really enjoyed our stay [with our dogs] at Maeburn cottages. Dorothy was a great host and very attentive to our needs. The cottage was warm and cosy and the bed comfortable.
One thing to note is that our cottage had a fridge but no freezer component, so if you need ice you will need to get it at the general store. Metung is a lovely place to stay and the cottage is located relatively close to the village [a nice walk along the lake for about 15 to 20 minutes or a less than 5 minute drive.
We highly recommend Maeburn cottages.
5.0
Our cottage was 2 bedroom. Very spacious and well equipped kitchen utensils and laundry facilities. We would have loved to spend an extra night but had to head home but we will be back for sure. The area also is magnificent.

First the little things that could be improved: There was poor light when driving in at night, it needs a strong sensor light out the front and side. We couldn't see a number on the cabin so we weren't sure we were at the right one. Inside the cabin there was no information pack explaining things, the first time I haven't seen that.
There are many positives, it's a great location, we arrived late and had to leave in the morning so didn't get the chance to explore, but if we're back this way again we'd definitely stay here again. I'd had a few hard beds on this trip but the bed was fabulous and comfortable in a great bed frame.
Loved the bedside tables and lamps, plenty of room. We loved the timber look of the cottage and the Darcy Doyle prints. With mobility issues I appreciated the ramp instead of steps. The bathroom was great, and it was awesome to have a laundry to do some washing, and a dryer.
We asked Dorothy if we could have some friends over for dinner and she said yes and we had a lovely time of fellowship with them. Dorothy was great with communication and very friendly.
I totally recommend this property and Dorothy.

Follow up on reservation through VrBo a bit difficult but hosts responsive to text messages. Fairly old self contained units that are located in the owners back yard - compact design but functional. No oven, just stove top and microwave. Located in the back streets of Metung, close enough to walk to the beach road, bit of a longer walk into the centre of town. Hosts friendly and accomodating, OK to bring our dog which was great.

Very comfortable, heaps of room and excellent hosts

Convenient cottage near town for our short stop off on our way north
3.0
The unit was roomy and basic. We felt it was tired and needed updating particularly for the asking price. There was a 10-15mm gap in the bedroom floor which exposed the underfloor. We had to seal it as we had the unpleasant experience of a red-belly black snake entering our motel unit 5 days earlier. The a/c struggled to cool the residence when the temperature was over 30 degrees. Host were very friendly and accomodating.
