The property was clean and close to shops and beach no. 1, but not on main street so it is no noisy. It is a great location.

Fun Family Break at the Blue Beach House

Perfect spot for a family getaway. Just a few minutes walk to the shops, the cafe and local bar are both very dog friendly, and an easy walk to the surf beach. Very simple classic beach house but with everything you need for a beach getaway. Thanks so much for having us!

Close to everything

We had a great stay at the Blue House recently! Excellent communication with the owner who gave us great flexibility with the booking in terms of checkin & out. The location is perfect with hop skip & jump to local shops & the heart of venus bay, and just a short walk to the beach. The house is very well appointed with more than expected in terms of kitchen accessories, kids toys, outdoor setting.....the list goes on. Would definitely stay again!

Great location

Fantastic location. Very spacious. Unfortunately though the bathroom wasnt very good and the water stank. We all hated our showers as we stank afterwoods. We were careful with the water tooasmy mother lived at Venus bay for many years and we are familiar with tank water

bernard fanning lovenest getaway

Lovely little spot, quite private and we all have a lovely time relaxing and hitting the beach. Well catered for little bubs and a spacious kitchen and living area. Proximity to beach and shopping strip a big plus. We had a great time. A few little dampeners were the aerial for the tv and reception, the key lock, cd radio appeared not to be functional, toilet seat wonky and microwave could be better..

Beautiful!

The blue house was amazing! The photos do not do the place justice! Under 5 minutes to the main shops, but with that feeling of being in the bush with lots of wildlife, a resident wombat that came out the same time everyday! The house was super clean and comfortable with a homely feel considering it isn’t the newest of places which was exactly what we wanted with our dog! It had everything we needed and was great to stay away from technology! Water, showers all great considering it’s tank water! We didn’t make use of the backyard due to our dog but didn’t need too, beach’s all close by, fishing, and Inverloch shops all within reach! Wish we stayed longer! Brett was very approachable and answered all my questions honestly straight away before booking and after booking which set my mind at ease! We will definitely be back and even tried to see if it was available for a longer stay!
