Absolutely idyllic, perfect little getaway from the world. |BBQ every night, kayaking at sunset, paddle boarding, jacuzzi time, handfeeding kangaroos- this is honestly one of my favourite places in the world. It’s so relaxing and such great family time. ||I think the price is very reasonable too.||My only niggle is that these days the reception is closed on a weekend so you can’t get board games/DVDs or more kangaroo food- would be much better if it was open like it used to be. ||We love it here, can’t wait to return

Beautiful place, so calm and relaxing. Not great service from management. Very unresponsive. Room would be amazing if it was cleaned better. Had a family of huntsman greet us inside. Lots of dust and cobwebs. Aside from that we would go back purely for the location.

What an amazing place to stay with great value for money! Definitely have recommended to all our friends and family. The facilities were amazing (unfortunately when we stayed the pool wasn’t open though). The cabins are beautiful and very private. The wildlife is so friendly and we had an amazing experience feeding the kangaroos. Great for kids, we travelled with a 1.5 year old and she had a great time. My only con is that no shampoo and conditioner was provided so you will have to bring your own. But overall it was an incredible experience!

We recently stayed at Beluga, a 2 bedroom bathroom bush view lodge at the Waterfront Retreat at Wattle Point. It was a tranquil and somewhat remote getaway, set between Lake Victoria and national park with an abundance of banksias and kangaroos.
Exploring the surrounds on foot, bicycle or kayak was most enjoyable.
The spa was relaxing after the day's adventures. Unfortunately the pool was not operational when we were there in February, 2024.
Our accommodation was spacious and modern with all the usual amenities.
Whilst our lodge was not on the water, it was only a short walk away.
I would highly recommend Beluga Lodge.
Thank you to Andrew, our host, who was very helpful.

My teenagers and I couldn't be more delighted at the tranquil stunning location. The cabins are beautiful, private and well appointed. Being surrounded by abundant bird life, feeding kangaroos and so close to the lake where a swim or a paddle in the canoes provided was both invigorating and just the breath of fresh air we needed. Andrew is an amazing host. The facilities are fabulous, and just close and far enough from Paynesville. Its a stunning place and we vowed to stay a week next time. Thanks Andrew!!

Highly recommend Wattle Point Waterfront Retreat for a quiet & peaceful getaway.
Our apartment was well equipped, clean & spacious. It was so lovely waking up in the morning to see beautiful kangaroos right out front ready for their breakfast!
Would definitely go back again & will be recommending to others.

This place is awesome! Slice of paradise. The accommodation was excellent! The beds were all super comfortable! Great mattresses and sheets.
The view of the lake from our accommodation was absolutely gorgeous.
Excellent facilities - like the kayaks and canoes and NEW life jackets.
The staff were super friendly.

I would def come back. And I would absolutely bring international family here - the wildlife was amazing.
Thanks Andrew and Cath.
