The Abbey is the only available motel/cottage accommodation on Raymond Island. It is inn a unique location amongst pleasant bush environment and close to the Koala habitat. There is no food or eating places on the island but the ferry service to and from Paynesville which excellent restaurants and cafes and IGa. The Abbey has charm and pleasant seclusion at a very reasonable price. There is tea and coffee and a fridge and microwave. It can be cold in Winter but has a heater. More blankets would be welcome. The bathroom and toilet has a shower and is good. There are warnings about a slippery floor but it needs attention. I do recommend staying on the island for a get away experience and easy access to the Koala Trail. I am glad that we chose The Abbey.

A very high standard room in a lovely setting. We had problems communicating and received no check in instructions but this was rectified by a member of staff coming in to sort out. Kangaroos walked past the window and koalas, echidnas and exotic birds were nearby. There was also no wifi near the rooms, just by reception. However it was a very pleasant stay and deserves 5 stars.

We enjoyed a quiet stay in an older property which had everything we needed. Appreciated being allowed to charge our EV at the laundry block. It was fun catching the ferry over to the island and there was nice a sense of community. The koala trail in the morning was fantastic and unexpected - there are lots and I've never seen them in the \"wild\" before.

Beautiful location

The Hotel was nice and clean as described we would be more than happy to stay there again in the future. The Abby is located in a beautiful part of the island with east access to the Koala Trail and the beach. It is nice quiet getaway. The Wi-Fi connection was very good and the bathroom spacious and bed very comfy. I lovely getaway retreat from it all

The Abbey was very comfortable and quiet. Not that close to the ferry for access back to Paynesville but easily walkable. Plenty of koalas, kangaroos and echidnas around the place. No TV though. If you wanted to relax and watch a bit of TV you couldn't.

Nice hotel if you want quiet.

Unfortunately we arrived at dark and no one knew we were coming. Booked online and they didn't check often enough for new reservations, so no lights were on so it took us about an hour standing in the pitch dark road until the reservation desk (in Melbourne) contacted the lady at The Abby to find us. Room was very nice, however no TV.

Spacious but slightly dated.

Rooms are spacious and comfortable but a bit run down and dated. In one of our rooms we had a large number of moths flickering about, but when they were dealt with we enjoyed staying in the rooms. Each room has a fridge, coffee maker, coffee/tee and a small dining table and chairs. The surroundings were very dry (no rain for a while) so looked a bit run down as well, but this might be partly due to the drought. We saw plenty of kangaroos on the lawn and on the island and tons of Koalas and beautiful birds. All in all a nice experience.
