- Verified traveler (10/5): - Had as problem with gaining access to the property as the reception was not open in spite of check-in supposedly by open from 2-10pm. A message had been sent to my phone but I was unable to access it. Eventually, we found out that the reception at Mariner's Cove was dealing with Captain's Cove: not ideal and very frustrating. A simple note on the reception door sayi8ng go to Mariners Cove would have made the experience much more eniybale.

- Michelle (9/5): Loved it - Fantastic location on the canals, very spacious townhouse accommodation, clean and beds were comfortable. Loved having our own dock You will need to take oil, tinfoil, paper towel etc if you want to use kitchen/bbq there is none provided. Dock needs cleats at the front to tie boat properly

- Verified traveler (10/5): -
- Westerner (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sanj (8/5): - excellent stay in a well appointed apartment with great activities and friendly staff. beds were a little uncomfortable with sheets which weren't fitted and were scratchy.
We wanted to hire bikes but were unable to do due to the office being closed all the time
- Ben (4/5): - Very unimpressed with our stay at Captains Cove. The whole resort felt tired and way past its best. Our unit wasn’t clean. Toilet roll holders still had the mostly used rolls from the previous guests. On the terrace area an ashtray was overflowing with cigarette butts. The hot water ran out quickly. The position on the water is great but doesn’t justify the high price. One positive was the king bed that was very comfortable. Paynesville is a lovely spot and our trip to see the koalas on Raymond Island was great. I would simply never stay at Captains Cove again
- Sarah (9/5): great location, very comfortable - the location was absolutely fantastic, we loved waking up and looking out over the water and watching the boats pass all day. the walk to town was also really nice only about 10 mins. N/A
- Margaret (8/5): Paynesville, a delightful little waterfront village - Our group were looking to stay in Bairnsdale to play golf but discovered Paynesville which was closer to the Bairnsdale Golf course and turned out to be a delightful little village on the waterfront. It had everything we needed for our two day stay including a hotel, several excellent chinese restaurants, a well stocked IGA supermarket, quaint shops and a free ferry across to Raymond Island to view the koalas. Captains Cove apartments were superbly located and easy to find and proved to be excellent accommodation for 3 couples, well equipped with good beds and a great water view. Will, the manager, met us promptly on arrival and was very pleasant and most helpful. Good laundry facility but needs a fold-out drying rack.
- Greg (9/5): Superb - Spacious with stunning views over the canal. Peaceful. Great location to Raymond Island. Short walk to town. Can't fault it.
- Elizabeth (9/5): Superb -
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic location. Great apartment, everything you needed was there.
- Anna (8/5): Very good - The serenity....peace and quiet. You could hear the wind on the river..... Felt the living area area wa a bit tight, plus would like it to be more updated downstairs (especially kitchen)
- Lex (10/5): - Excellent two night stay with 5 adults accommodated. Best night’s sleep in a very comfortable bed. I’ll bring the boat next time.
- Pam (9/5): Superb -
- Jasmine (10/5): Will be back for sure - That I was there for work and take time couldn’t enjoy the place and facilities offered
- Barbara (8/5): Amy and Will are great hosts and the property is in a great location - Breakfast was not included however we knew in advance so not an issue. The property is in an excellent location right on the canals. Ample furnishings for 6 people and the kitchen was well equipped.
- Suong (10/5): Exceptional -
- Suong (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kelly (10/5): - Absolutely beautiful accommodation and stunning waterfront views. Love, love, love this gorgeous place.
- Elizabeth (8/5): - Lovely quiet setting on the canal with a very pretty outlook. We were given some good tips regarding best coffee/places to eat etc upon checking in.
We enjoyed our stay at Captains Cove.
- Paul (10/5): - beautiful view from top and bottom decks. Undercover car parking for overhead.
Great facilities throughout.
- Cheryle (10/5): - Extraordinary location and quality

Close to restaurants etc.
- MUHAMMAD (6/5): - Nice view
Was bit expensive
- Naveen (10/5): - Awesome location and very clean property.
- PRISCILLA (10/5): - The location is fantastic. With kayak and stand up paddle boards available to hire, the kids have an awesome time at the resort.
- Roger (8/5): - Great service and overall great property
- Caroline (10/5): Relaxing trip - Lovely place right on the water. A few minutes walk from everything will definitely stay again.
- Heather (10/5): - The location and tranquil waterfront
- Glenice (6/5): - Overpriced for the condition. I think for the price maybe we could have had a shower cap, quality body wash, shampoo and conditioner. And perhaps more than four tea bags.
- Randall (10/5): Lots to do or just relax - Amazing place to stay. Great views on the water, private jetty if required. Upstairs balcony and downstairs decked arear with private BBQ and clean outdoor furniture. Shopping and dinning all within walking distance. Loads of outdoor activities, will be going back in the summer.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Best Hidden Gem in Victoria. Town also amazing
