Bonnie Dawn

The complete package. Tranquil Views, Water Access and a Cosy Home
This would have to be one of the best locations with the beautiful Lake Eildon right on your doorstep!
Enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, water skiing, and all that the lake has to offer.
Bonnie Dawn is ideally set up for multiple families with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living areas.
The downstairs living area/games room area will give you plenty of space to relax and enjoy your next getaway.

The lovely deck is perfectly positioned to allow you to relax & unwind while the BBQ sizzles away and provides you with postcard views.

In the warmer months, wander down to the water’s edge and have fun in the sun knowing that you will come back to a cool home once the evaporative cooling kicks in!
And in winter keep cosy indoors by relaxing on the couch by the crackling of the wood fire reading a book or watching a movie.... Or take the kids and toast some marshmallows down by the designated fire pit *conditions apply
If you winter getaway is a trip to the snow Bonnie Dawn is approximately 30 minutes to the Mt Buller Entry Gates!

Apart from being one of the best locations for water activities, there are many nearby attractions including horse riding, cycling, 4-wheel driving, motor bike riding, markets, plus much more and with an abundance of wildlife, great fishing and a relaxing atmosphere, you won't want to leave!

Bonnie Dawn is a great base to set off from to explore what the High Country mountains, rivers and lakes have to offer.  Or simply stay at home, relax and enjoy the natural peace and watch the sunsets from the verandah and stargaze into the clearest of night skies.

  Two families with young kids had an absolute ball at Bonnie Dawn. House was perfect for the 4 adults and 6 kids with plenty of room and separation as well as a very well appointed kitchen and sensational outdoor BBQ and outside dining areas.
  House is perfectly located on the lake with direct water frontage. We moored our boats directly off the shoreline. With the lake at 75% it was a short steep walk down to the water and we operated all our water activities from the house. It was the perfect setup. Would definitely book again.
