About this property

Manna Gum Beach House

Enjoy a summer BBQ on the deck or relax with a glass of wine, listening to the crash of the waves on the beach. A fabulous place for a family holiday.

We enjoyed our stay with a spacious deck amongst the trees. Loved the location with a path to the beach and short walk to the local shops.

Blustery Weekend Stay

Our time at Venus Bay was lovely. The house was just right for our requirements. Two things that would help the property impress guests would be 1) a more thorough clean - there was dust a several surfaces and spider webs in a few corners and 2) several cupboards and drawers in the kitchen were very untidy. Other than that, the house was comfortable and we had a very relaxing stay.
