About this property

Tranquil retreat with spectacular views over Andersons Inlet

Our 4-bedroom house is situated on a large peaceful block, within walking distance to Fisherman’s Jetty and a short drive (or longer walk) from Beach No 5. In this magical spot, you can enjoy views across Andersons Inlet from the large outdoor dining table or lounge on the deck, or while enjoying a drink at the old barrel on the veranda. You’ll be entertained by kangaroos and a huge range of birds while you relax.

Inside, there is a cosy lounge/dining area in which to relax with friends and family, where you can enjoy a log burning fire in the winter or the cool fans/aircon in summer. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans, and has an electric hob and air fryer oven (note, there is no standard oven). You’ll also have access to a microwave and the barbecue on the deck outside.

The property has recently been redecorated from top to bottom, and repainted outside. Like all houses in Venus Bay, it runs on tank water and a septic tank.

Relaxing family holiday
The location and view of the house makes the holiday instantly relaxing. We enjoyed watching the sunset over the fields while watching kangaroos, rabbits, and the bird life. The house is well equipped in the kitchen and bathroom. The kids enjoyed the hammock, outdoor swings and backyard games. outdoor

Relaxing escape
We had an incredible stay at this welcoming home. The indoor fireplace and outdoor firepit are a cosy highlight, and the stunning view with wildlife, including kangaroos, made it unforgettable. It’s a peaceful, clean, and well-equipped retreat. Both our families had a wonderful break. The hosts were extremely hospitable and helpful. We can’t wait to return!

Great stay in Venus Bay
We loved our stay in Venus Bay. The property is great with lots of living spaces for family and friends to spread out into which is excellent when you have teenagers in your group. The fire pit out the back was fantastic and great for talks into the night. The view to the marsh and the kangaroos was gorgeous.

Serenity!!!
Great place to get away and enjoy the peace. Stayed here with the family and a friends family and enjoyed our stay. From Beach 1 to 5 just a 2min drive away and the back yard looking on to the wetlands and inlet enjoying a wine was even more enjoyable. The binoculars supplied to catch the kangaroos kept the kids entertained. Would highly recommend a stay. Looking forward to coming back

The perfect stay in Venus Bay
The house is completely stunning and comfortable in every way. Recently renovated, lots of space to be doing your own thing, or tables big enough for the large groups. Backing onto the wetlands, watching the birds and kangaroos is amazing. Short drives to beaches, or 20 min walk to closest. Owners were so accommodating, so helpful and made our stay an absolute breeze. We would be back in a heartbeat!
