We loved this Motel, beautifully renovated - everything new and fresh, and with delightful decor. Lovely outlook over the canal. Lots of fluffy white towels, beautiful bed linen and the most comfy bed. Bathroom sparkling and new. Lovely soap, shampoo etc. Well set up little kitchenette with all the necessities. Everything was exceptionally clean. Great heating on a very cold night. Great location, with an easy walk along the esplanade to shops, cafes etc. Unfortunately only stayed a night, but would have loved to have stay longer. Highly recommended.

The waterfront location is excellent within walking distance to the ferry to Raymond island. We came for the koalas and saw them with an extra reward of spotting an echidna. The weather was unfortunately cool so we didn’t bbq as planned and most of the restaurants we wanted to dine at were closed. Monday- Wednesday it seems are more difficult days in Australia to eat out. The room was spacious, light and modern. It was very clean and comfortable. We thought the price was good vfm. We enjoyed the luxury of the spa bath. We would recommend and stay again. A good stop off on a Sydney to Melbourne drive. Parking was safe and close to the room; reception check in was welcoming and efficient The bed was wide and very comfortable. Thank you.

Nothing.

Refurbished Studio Aparment, right on the water's edge with easy access to a dock on the canal/cove. A patio with outdoor seating. Very quite neighbouhood with easy walk to local pub and shops. Raymond Island was just a 5 minute ferry ride away with an abundance of Koalas living in the wild.

Even though there was a kitchenette with a decent sized fridge and microwave, there was no hot plate to cook up breakfast. The nearby BBQ was free but did not heat up enough to properly cook steaks and sausages (snags, in the Aussie "lingo").

Mariners Cove at Paynesville is located really close to the Raymond Island, which came to us as a pleasant surprise. We had a bit of time to take a stroll in the island and see koalas that close! The ferry ride was free and quite a wonderful experience. Staff was helpful to organise off-time check-in and had bins around to dispose of the garbage. Our room (and I think all of them) was on the ground floor which is a great bonus. Car was parked right next to the room so that taking in and out the luggage was a breeze. The room was quite clean and the kids were extremely excited to sleep in the attic beds, which were again was in generously spacious area. They enjoyed echoing themselves from the attic to us - kudos to the architect to making that nice design possible! In the morning going to the backyard, the waterfront and say hello to those lovely black swans and the birds was an absolute pleasure.

Mariners Cove is my go to each month when im seeing clients in Gippsland . Great location , staff , clean facilities and excellent value . I arrived early on my last visit and the staff were quick to prioritise a clean room being available for me which says a lot about the importance they put on customer satisfaction . Keep up the good work and I'll be back next month and each month thereafter 😀

I could hear the water and toilet from the room next door from the room i was last in but this may have been because i had neighbours that were up for most of the night 😀

The design of the building and thus the room we had, was spacious with a lofty ceiling - minimalist but not lacking anything. Tasteful, and timeless, well appointed and well maintained. The bathroom was large, hot water was in quick supply. The front sliding doors opened onto the water, and a nearby jetty. The surroundings were serene - we were able to sit out in shade to enjoy a drink before dinner.

This did not happen for us but had the accommodation been fully booked others may have been sitting on their verandahs which were not separate but open across the water side of the facility.

I had to leave early, and I arrived late so I didnt actually meet the staff, but the after hours check in and out was easy, and the room was fabulous. Located right on the marina, this would be amazing in summer (it was overcast and raining during my trip). The rooms were great, large comfortable bed, and it might sound like a simple thing but I LOVED that the front door had a weather strip underneath, which stopped cold and light getting in. Paynesville was lovely, I only drove through, but this place is retirement goals.

Absolutely nothing. MAYBE the sound proofing in the bathroom was a bit so so, I could hear the next room showering.

The apartment was well presented and clean - The view stunning... and the set up was just perfect for my husband and I with our teenage son. The location was easy walking distance to the ferry over to Raymond Terrace Island where we saw lots of gorgeous koalas in their natural habitat (babies too). We recommend Pier 70 for a cocktail and a delicious dinner ...the olives were HUGE!

Nothing, we had a lovely stay.

Very clean and spacious room. Kids really liked the mezzanine floor where they slept. Nicely decorated, the kitchenette had everything we needed to make breakfast. The setting on the water, all within view from the room was lovely and peaceful. 1-2 minute walk to the Raymond Island ferry which was very handy. Bathroom was old but big, and very clean, and the body care products supplied were very nice. There was an outdoor table out back, which led to the stairs, onto the grassy waters edge.

The mezzanine floor got a bit warm in the late afternoon, the fan and open window was ok, but perhaps an aircon upstairs would be handy. There was one downstairs.

Right on the water, in walking distance to restaurants. Easy parking. Helpful lady at reception when we checked in. Bed very comfortable. Good shower with plenty of hot water & water pressure. Soaps & hand lotion smelt lovely & were nice to use. Didn't need to use shampoo or conditioner. Very clean apartment. Air conditioner worked well in heating the apartment.

No, all good.
