Fantastic position within Paynesville; a very short walk to shops & cafes. Lovely home with everything you need for a comfortable stay which also accommodated our small dog. Definitely keeping this property on our future visit list

The property was almost faultless. The only thing lacking was a doggie door. That said, I have never stayed in a holiday rental that had a doggie door. But honestly Yellow Fish House was immaculate. It had everything you could reasonably ask for. It was clean. Plenty of provisions. Awesome kitchen, alfresco area, lounge rooms, bedrooms. Heat pump dryer - my partner didn’t realise you had to empty the water tank until I showed her. Once the bird flu issue is over we will definitely be returning! Seriously great place to stay! We loved it.
