Absolutely fantastic location in Venus bay. A short walk from Beach #4 and in a quiet street, we spent a lot of time fishing and swimming off the beach or driving 25 mins to Inverloch. The house was much larger than I was expecting and the...

The upstairs space was great. It had lovely views. While it was wet for our stay, the outdoor spaces were fantastic. Plenty of seating and options. Good place for a group of friends to stay.

🌊 WiFi. Netflix. Stan. 500m to pristine secluded surf beach, no permanent neighbours and beautiful dune frontage on a quiet road! 2 brand new modern bathrooms, brand new kitchen, dishwasher, BBQ, pet friendly, front and backyard entertainment decks with firepit gazebo for cold winter nights at Venus Bay's longest continuously owned home and second highest home by altitude. An authentic 1970's Australian time-capsule. Hand picked vintage furnishings and decor throughout for your perfect family or romantic sea change getaway. Forget the Melbourne Zoo. Experience raw nature and native Australian wild life. 100's of Kangaroos, wombats, echidnas and a plethora of bird life abound. Sick of Peninsula crowds? Surf at beach #4 where it's uninhabited 90% of the year with limited car parking. Tranquil walks or fishing? Head to Doyle's Beach where Tarwin River meets Anderson's Inlet. Or launch your boat or kayak at Fisherman's Jetty 2 minutes from home.

5 minute walk to children's playground park. 5 minute drive to family friendly Doyle's Beach on Anderson's Inlet. 5 minute walk to Surf Beach #4. 15 minute walk with kayaks to Tidal River jetty where you can explore, relax or fish amongst the mangroves. Walk or cycle the Point Smythe Nature Trails or just sit back on the deck and enjoy the views and local bird life. No public transport. Use my bikes or kayaks instead.
