Great location
Had a great time staying here. Only issue is given the limited heating for the winter months more wood for the fire heater would have been good. Its a great location ...walking distance to the amazing surf beach. And the house is very spacious.

Pearsons venus bay trip
Overall very happy with the property. The only thing that we suggest needs to be replaced would be the couches in the TV room. Every time we sat on the couch pieces of the couch come off, definitely out lived its lifetime. Thank you

Great house for a winter get away!
We loved our stay at driftwood. The house was well set up with everything you need, comfortable beds and well appointed kitchen. The wood fire was a big plus for this time of year as was the well fenced backyard for our dog. Location was great with the property backing onto the nature reserve.

Comfy house with all you need
Well appointed with comfy lounge and good kitchen equipment. Quiet location, about 5 - 10 minutes walk to beach. Short drive or walk to inlet beach. Short drive to shops at Venus Bay

Soak in the sea air!
Spent three nights at Driftwood with my wife, adult son and two dogs. Spacious house about a 2 minute drive (or easy walk) from Beach No5. (Close enough to be able to hear the surf at night!) Two good sized living areas. Kitchen was a little small and not much bench space but fine for a short stay. Two good sized bedrooms, one with sliding doors to a deck. Back yard was enclosed which was great for the dogs. Would definitely be happy to stay again.

Lovely property very suitable for families and dogs
Excellent older style property thoughtfully decorated. Generously stocked with everything you could need. Quality mattresses and bedding. Ideal for dogs with enclosed yard, secure deck area, laundry for sleeping and lovely reserve directly behind. Easy walk to the beach.

Retro comfort!
A great retro beach house, walking distance to the beach. The house had everything that we needed and we had a very comfortable stay.

This is the second time we have stayed at Driftwood and again we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our dog. Not too far from beach No 5, we were able to walk to the beach each day. We love its homely feel and it definitely has everything you could need for your beach holiday. We will be returning.

Perfect place
We had a good stay at the place very clean and tidy. Good for dogs the place isnt fully fenced but has a good little area closed of for pets. Beach was about a 10 min walk from the house. Only 1 min drive so cars is better when you gotta take a few things along. Pleasent stay overall. Only thing there only aircon in main living room. Fans for rest of house.
