The space was warm and I inviting with vintage details - very nostalgic. We loved the fireplace, welcoming details for our dog and the outdoors chairs for watching the bird life. A day trip to Wilson’s Prom and dinner at Tarwin Lower pub worth the visit.

The house was very clean and comfortable for our family of five, plus dog. Georgie was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly when we had an issue with water, so it was quickly and easily resolved. The house was warm in cold weather and Georgie was kind enough to have turned the heater on before we arrived. Highly recommended and we hope to return in summer!

Great family stay

My family had a wonderful and comfortable stay. Our wolf- hound x had a fabulous week too. Really loved the garden and outdoor shower. Heaven after a cold swim. Great walks and beaches close to the property but watch out for the puffer fish!

Beautiful beach holiday in Venus Bay

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!

Great Stay

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!
