We stayed for 2 nights. 2 adults and 4 teenage boys and 2 dogs. We had a blast at this property. So clean which is a big thing for us. It is compact and it was get for us. The outdoor area was fantastic for toasting marshmallows by the fire at night and fully fenced to keep our dogs in. In a very quite location and no neighbours surrounded by nature was great. Easy walk to the beach and walked to the general store and shops. I highly recommend staying here and we cant wait to go back again.

Stayed with 12 y/I kids and doggo. It's the holiday house that has everything you would ever need and where everything works!
Walk to beach everyday and the local fish and chips are good. Heated outside shower was the best to wash doggo and sandy kids. Wood fire with a wine at night was the best.
Highly recommend for family getaway. Would love to come in summer.

The house is exactly as the description and photos describe. A sweet little beach shack that was ideal for our short family + dogs getaway. The yard is very secure for animals, which allows the dogs to have a lovely wander!
There is everything you need here to have a relaxing getaway with the kitchen fully equipped, firewood available, and games to play.
A small suggestion: could you have doormats at each of the entry doors, to help minimise any mess from coming inside? Although we took our shoes off, there is nowhere outside to do this and brush off the dirt before going in the house (especially during inclement weather).

The best place for a peaceful, relaxing break. Immaculate and cosy with a lovely vibe. Great shower and everything you might need and more in the kitchen. Secure large yard for a dog and the front and back decks and the sun lounges made for comfortable outdoor living.
The welcome pack was much appreciated Georgie. Hopefully we will be back in the winter.
Thanks Georgie for sharing your great holiday home and for your excellent communication, Poppy, Bernard and "Bob"

House was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. The back deck is amazing, we spent hours outside just enjoying the serenity. No. 2 Beach is a short walk away, and the local shops are also within easy walking distance - about 10-15 mins depending on your speed. The outdoor shower was amazing - perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach. Although there are several other properties along the street, the area was very quiet and the yard was private. Overall a great stay!

A beautiful cottage style home on a good size block with plenty of privacy. The soft sounds of the ocean in the background and the crackling of the wood burning in the fireplace. Our dog had plenty of room to run and explore the secured grounds. A renovated kitchen and bathroom made it a bit flash!! Beds were very comfortable. Love love loved it!!

Had a relaxing stay. The place needs a bit of TLC. Most windows can't be opened and the French doors don't have a bolt to keep them open. Overall it was good

Really great little beach house in Venus Bay, with everything we needed for a family beach holiday. The extra touches made our stay extra special - the bottle of Prosecco, chocolate and treats on arrival, great house supplies, and the house was very clean and well setup. Thank you, we will be back!

Perfect setting for a decompress and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city - great access to beaches, walks and close enough, even via a drive, to plenty of places to eat and drink. House was super cosy and comfortable and had everything we needed. Being able to take our dog was a real bonus. .

My friend and I had an absolutely beautiful time. The house was exceptionally clean, bright and cozy with a short walk (up hill) to the beach. The grounds are perfect for the dogs. We loved watching a movie on Netflix 👍🥰. The crockery and kitchen utensils were perfect, Vedic g very comfortable and we had a lovely gift left for us on the table. Wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely go back. So nice and quiet and all the comforts of home.

First weekend out of metro lockdown and this place was ideal. Weather and backyard is was perfect. Loved the little welcome gift. Almost perfect, the only drawback is there really should be a dishwasher and the cooktop/oven is ultra old. Would definitely return

After many months stuck/locked-down in an inner city apartment, it was such a joy to stay at this lovely beach house. It is light filled, clean, cozy, comfortable, beautifully furnished and presented. The photos portrayed the property accurately, and we found some charming surprises like the really cool outdoor shower and a thoughtful welcome pack. We spent many hours reading and enjoying cocktails on the deck at the back. The kitchen is well stocked but the oven is a little old - at one stage I was not confident about roasting some veggies in it but they turned out OK in the end. There is a great gas BBQ outside as well. I had initially booked this beach house for July but Melbourne entered the 2nd lock-down just a week before we were due to visit Venus Bay. We were so disappointed! But Georgina was so understanding and supportive; she re-scheduled our booking (2 or 3 times!) and we were finally able to visit in December. It was such a pleasure dealing with Georgina. Thanks for everything Georgina! I highly recommend this beautiful beach house.

This is a stylish, cosy and comfortable house, close to the beach, and very clean. The large deck was private and a lovely space for a long relaxed brunch. The house is light and bright, the beds are extremely comfortable and we appreciated the little extras that were waiting for us on our arrival. Georgie was friendly and easy to communicate with. Everything we needed was supplied.We had a fantastic week in Venus Bay. Would love to come back here again. Thank you for sharing this special retreat with us!
