Environment

Before you even reach The Abbey you’ve already entered one of the most captivating regions of East Gippsland; the original homeland of the Gunaikurnai people.

From Paynesville, ride the ferry across the McMillan Strait to discover Raymond Island. The Abbey is set on several acres of open bushland where koalas, echidnas and kangaroos are frequent visitors and the birdlife chorus fulfills the island’s soundtrack.
