Fun Family Break at the Blue Beach House

Perfect spot for a family getaway. Just a few minutes walk to the shops, the cafe and local bar are both very dog friendly, and an easy walk to the surf beach. Very simple classic beach house but with everything you need for a beach getaway. Thanks so much for having us!

bernard fanning lovenest getaway

Lovely little spot, quite private and we all have a lovely time relaxing and hitting the beach. Well catered for little bubs and a spacious kitchen and living area. Proximity to beach and shopping strip a big plus. We had a great time. A few little dampeners were the aerial for the tv and reception, the key lock, cd radio appeared not to be functional, toilet seat wonky and microwave could be better..

Beautiful!

The blue house was amazing! The photos do not do the place justice! Under 5 minutes to the main shops, but with that feeling of being in the bush with lots of wildlife, a resident wombat that came out the same time everyday! The house was super clean and comfortable with a homely feel considering it isn’t the newest of places which was exactly what we wanted with our dog! It had everything we needed and was great to stay away from technology! Water, showers all great considering it’s tank water! We didn’t make use of the backyard due to our dog but didn’t need too, beach’s all close by, fishing, and Inverloch shops all within reach! Wish we stayed longer! Brett was very approachable and answered all my questions honestly straight away before booking and after booking which set my mind at ease! We will definitely be back and even tried to see if it was available for a longer stay!

It was great to be back after a number of years absence. Perfect position close to shops and beach 1. It had everything reqd for a beach holiday. Dealing with management was also very straight forward. Unfortunately was not as clean as we would have expected.

Perfect location, gorgeous cottage

We loved our short stay in the Blue House - it's so close to the beach and the shops, and it's got pretty much everything you need. It's also spotlessly clean, cosy and full of natural light. The only slight drawback is the extremely low pressure of the hot water (more like a trickle), which wouldn't even be an issue in summer (I guess it's the result of Venus Bay's water supply coming from water tanks only). Besides that, so lovely!
