Close to everything yet in a very tranquil rural setting. Very comfortable rooms, and hosts Mike and Gayle added to the relaxed nature of our stay. They are a delightful couple who made us very welcome and went out of their way to make our stay a relaxing one. Highly recommend to anyone visiting or passing through the area.

I travel to the East Gippsland region on a monthly basis and have now been staying at Kookaburra Rise for about 5 years. I have found Mike & Gayle excellent hosts who are allways happy to have a chat or if you like your privacy happy to give you that too. Mike cooks great meals and is terrific value for... More

Only a few hundred meters off of the Great Alpine Highway. So peaceful it could have been on it's own island. Good signage, but the street is not in the Gps library, so het good directions. The room was immaculate, cleaner than any hotel. Gayle and Michael are great hosts who can provide good guidance on where to go in... More

During an impromptu trip to the area during the new year, we found that the motel we originally booked has been doubled book, who then arranged for us to stay the night here instead.

My Kookaburra rise experience was like coming back to my own hometown and staying with my favorite aunt and uncle. It was raining the whole time we were travelling from Melbourne so it was already dark when we got there, but Gayle was there waiting for us, with ready smile and umbrellas. I went to Bairnsdale with my sister and... More

as the title says, it is a special place, with hosts that are very special people. B & B is the way to stay.

A secluded B & B offering excellent accommodation enhanced by the welcoming nature and helpfulness of the owners. The level of service could not be faulted. Although set in a rural environment the B & B is well sign posted from the main road. Booking was done over the internet and speed of response and the information provided was first... More

We enjoyed a lovely walk with the family dog in serene surroundings, you can't get this in a motel. This was followed by a beautiful breakfast served in a peaceful garden setting. The hostesses were ready to meet any need, we won't forget our stay in this beautiful country setting.
