Nestled in the native bush and lovely garden with open lawns, this is a delightful cosy little house with everything you need for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Just perfect for a couple like us, or a small family. The location is great for peace and privacy but also close enough to shops for convenience.

We had a great time at Sandford Beach House these past Easter school holidays. Nice sleep ins, lots of chess, Ferris Bueller DVD on repeat, beach and inlet walks in any weather, wildlife spotting, homemade pizza from the pizza oven and looking at the stars while enjoying the fire pit. And delicious local honey dropped round by the hosts. Super relaxing, house has everything you need.

Love the indoor and outdoor features Sandford offered my family. The location is absolutely fantastic that we enjoyed both Venus Bay beaches and inlet. Roslyn is always ready to help in case we need anything. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a cosy getaway that doesn't cost a fortune.

Very nice cosy house with quite a large outdoor area and deck. Aircon was very good and kept us cool during the 37C weekend and was strong enough to keep the bedrooms cool! Those DVDs definitely kept us entertained! Beds were very comfy. Would love to come back next time.

We had a lovely time at Sandford Beach House. The house was equipped with everything we needed for a short stay. The beds were comfortable and the location private but accessible to surf beach and the inlet. The phone reception is patchy, but we didn't mind that. We spent our days exploring the area, reading, and making use of the large yard and deck. Rosyln was easy to communicate with. We would recommend this accomodation!

We enjoy staying in places that are rustic and 'basic' and have never left a negative review. On this occasion, we actually came home early. The problem was that the photos of the property are very old (judging by the plant growth) and, contrary to other reviews, the whole house is in need of a good clean. Doors and handles were grubby, thick cobwebs with dead bugs in every room, and food residue in the fridge. The kitchen cupboards need a good clean, too. We knew there was no wifi, so planned to watch a few DVDs, only to find the (unplugged) DVD machine didn't work, despite a reasonable selection of DVDs for guests. We were happy to read our books, but it was another example of how the property description didn't match our experience. But the jar of local honey waiting for us was a lovely touch. Sorry we can't be more positive about our stay.

We had a relaxing week here. It's in a very quiet location, with a lovely garden separating the house from the main road. It's only a short drive to the beaches and shops. The compact house is well set up, including everything we wanted in the kitchen plus lots more.

Nice, neat, tranquil, equipped by everything one might need for comfortable staying. Good kitchen with all utensils, good mattresses, heater, beautiful outside space with terrace. And location allows you to hear the ocean roar when outside. To see the ocean - need driving ~5 min.

We really enjoyed our stay. The local walks and beaches are absolutely beautiful. The accommodation had everything we needed and was very comfortable, unfortunately we didn't get to use the fire or pizza oven because it rained for us, perhaps next time. Thanks for a great stay Roslyn, I hope that you will have us back sometime. Dwight

The place is just as listed. Communication was great and check in process was straight forward. In case of poor weather, the place has lots of pots and pans to cook up a meal and plenty of board games and movies. Loved that the property was so close to the beautiful No.5 beach that we could hear the waves throughout the night. [Just one minor thing - the place has no internet (I had not taken note of this before), so better to be prepared for those other than Telstra]

We loved the quiet location and bushy surrounds. The amazing beaches are a 15min walk or 2min drive. The woodfire oven was used for a great slow cook to feed friends and family. The resident Magpies also became great friends too. Really enjoyed the stay - thanks Roslyn

Comfortable stay with the basics. Nice private garden and deck with lots of afternoon sun. Day trips to beautiful Sandy Point beach, good for small kids along with number 1 beach at Venus Bay. Shack Bay towards Cape Paterson a good rock pool exploring spot. Inverloch 20 to 25 min drive.. Short drive to Tarwin Lower for more river fishing platforms and pub meals. Wonthaggi good for shopping if you're in that area, 8 mins from Cape Paterson. We found other more local supermarkets very over priced. Overall a good stay. Could use a few updates, such as the compendium.

The place is as advertised. It is a nice property located in a quiet area. The house is well equipped and in generally good condition. The AC was a bit tricky to get going but the owners were quick to respond in getting it working. The only area of improvement would be in the kitchen. The countertops were clean but the cabinet doors could use a bit of cleaning. The cutlery tray could be cleaned a bit as well. Over it met our expectations.

If you're looking for a quintessential Venus Bay experience for a great price look no further. This is a great property, out of the way for a nice quiet getaway but close enough to the local shops, fish and chips, pubs and beaches. As someone who has been visiting Venus Bay for as long as I can remember this place hit me right in the nostalgia and I don't mean that in the place is dated but just the beach house vibe is very Venus Bay. The only thing I will say is, reception isn't great so just keep that in mind. Get your entertainment ready before heading down and you'll have a great stay.

The cosy cottage was within 2km walking distance of the inlet and beach. Very quiet area. Property would have been more tranquil had the neighbour not been building a shed right on the boundary abutting the house.

Homely and comfortable. We've stayed in many places at Venus Bay, our first with a 3 month old baby. We loved our stay and found the kitchen well equipped, the split system heater worked extremely well and the furniture was comfortable. Great location for walks to the Jetty for fishing or to visit the playground. Short drive to No 5 beach. Loved the firepit and outdoor table, also the setting on the covered verandah. Friendly visits by Magpies and even a Kangaroo stopped by to check us out. Definitely coming back for another stay soon.
