GIPSY POINT LODGE is located on the Mallacoota Inlet and is perfectly situated for exploring this region of the Croajingolong National Park. The extensive waterways allow for safe boating with many picnic areas and jetties to visit and explore scattered around the local rivers and lakes. Bird and animal life abound, and a day out on the lake is a great way to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Kayaking (and canoeing)
GIPSY POINT LODGE has Hobie Kayaks available for guests to hire – including single and tandem Mirage Pro Angler Kayaks. These Hobies can be paddled like traditional kayaks or ‘pedaled’ using the Hobies’ MirageDrive system – which leaves your hands free for fishing. These kayaks are a great way to explore or fish the upper reaches and backwaters of the Genoa and Wallagaraugh Rivers or even venture further down onto the Mallacoota Inlet.
