Centrally located in the township of Metung, Bancroft Haven is an ideal location to base yourself for any season of the year to soak up the warmer months or take a break from the bustle of the cooler winter climate. From the moment you pull into the driveway, time stands still as you nestle into our sanctuary, escaping the animation of life.

Our home provides the privacy that you would expectwhen enjoying some downtime, whilst offering sweeping views towards the eastern end of the world-renowned Gippsland Lakes.

The vaulted ceilings in the lounge and Huon pine paneling provide a warming charm throughout any time of the year.

The spacious living and multiple entertaining areas allow for separate retreats across the house so that your whole family can engage in a differing style of relaxation and comfort.

The lounge area is adorned with a floor-to-ceiling sandstone feature and centralised doors opening on the deck spaces to the north and south. This room also has a fan-forced wood heater (BYO Wood), furnishing a luring warmth during the winter months, and accompanied by a reverse cycle split system to help negate the summer heat.

From the comfort of the lounge room, from the kitchen, or from the cosiness of the outside deck, You can pass the time away by keeping an eye on the boating activity on the lakes or watching the abundance of birdlife that congregates in the trees around the property.

You have direct access to a spacious two-car garage beneath the house. From here we have a unique feature in a single-person lift (available on request) that conveniently provides internal access to the living room.

Moving to the outside of our house, you will find numerous areas to relax or play should you wish to entertain. Our house boasts Extensive outdoor entertaining areas to provide shade during the summer warmth and shelter during the colder months of the year.

Our distinctive property is just a five-minute stroll to the Metung Village on the water’s edge boardwalk. Pick from the fruit trees when in season. Take your time to feed the rosellas, parrots, and other native birds, whilst taking in the breathtaking views across Bancroft bay.

Multiple outdoor areas to sit and enjoy the lovely grounds and the visiting bird life. An easy stroll to shops and eateries.The 4th bedroom with 2 single beds is small and runs off another bedroom.Front steps are steep so use lift for cases etc and the driveway is also steep which some may find challenging to walk up and down however it is worth it for the views.

    We absolutely loved the property. Spacious, beautiful views, super well appointed (couches through to cutlery- everything so well presented). It catered for our large group (6 kids and 4 adults). Simple stroll into the village Super clean, dead quiet Birdlife and sea (seals and dolphins - please!)
