About this property

Far View - Pets, Linen, Wi-Fi, Netflix, Caravan

Tucked away at the ‘Paris end’ of Venus Bay’s First Estate, Far View offers a peace and stillness that is hard to find in the busy modern world. Sweeping views across the paddocks are framed by ancient pines and ocean dunes as cares dissolve with the casual tumble of the windmills on the horizon and the distant rumble of the surf.

Far View is located within easy walking distance to shops, café and beaches. Beach 1 is a 15 minute walk across a nearby track over the dunes. Stunning unobstructed 180 degree views over farmland, the Strzelecki Ranges, Bald Hill wind farms and out to Wilsons Prom.

The recently renovated house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

There is also a newly refurbished retro caravan on the property that makes for a perfect teenage or grandparent retreat. Additional fee applies.

Lovely pet friendly home with some cute retro touches, the most adorable one being the caravan. Clean and tidy with everything you need. Great sitting on the deck watching the kangaroos in the paddock opposite. Fully fenced and the pet enclosure is an added bonus.

We had a wonderful stay at FarView, Venus Bay. The house is beautifully maintained, welcoming, and genuinely pet‑friendly. We travelled with our two elderly pugs, and they were perfectly comfortable the entire time. It’s clear the property is truly loved by its owners—everything is clean, tidy, open, and airy.This was our first time using Stayz, and if Joseph and Helen’s place is the benchmark, we’ll happily book through the platform again. The owners were easy to contact, thoughtful, and clearly care about their guests’ experience.Venus Bay itself is a quiet little town, which was exactly what we were looking for. A few more cafés and food options in the future would add some healthy competition, and the unpaved streets can get a bit dusty when cars pass or the wind picks up. That said, the town is very clean, and the beaches are absolutely pristine. The Surf Lifesaving Club deserves real credit—their presence makes the beaches feel safe and well‑looked‑after.We wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Joseph and Helen’s place again. It was excellent in every way, and we’re grateful for the care they put into making it such a comfortable getaway.

Vintage-style cottage in rural beach location

Well appointed cottage and cute caravan in a quiet rural location in Venus Bay. Loved the vintage decor with my 20 year old kids loving the retro caravan. Lovely views from the property and not too far from the beach.

Lovely stay

This is a delightful house, clean, well equipped, and fantastic responsiveness from the owners. The separate caravan was perfect for our older teenager and we really appreciated how dog friendly it is. The views across the fields and or daily cow-watching were great too.

Great property, great view!

Our stay at Farview was terrific. The house is very comfortable, very well presented and furnished and the view from the front porch is a real highlight (which included kangaroos and other wildlife). Definitely recommend.

Nature at its best

Very comfortable home and very suitable for our dog too. Great location for those who love nature. Magnificent view of endless green, with peaceful cows and then windfarms on the horizon. Local wombats doing their thing. Watch for wombats and rabbits on the road! We were there in winter and the heating worked well. We enjoyed the off-peak experience of the area. No crowds to contend with. Make sure you go to Beach No.5, the most impressive view of all. Great food at nearby Riverview Hotel in Tarwin Lower. Bushwalkers (without dogs) should explore the wilderness of the Coastal Park. Hosts prepared a detailed manual of local history, other info and handy hints; they were very responsive to any queries.

Had a glorious two day stay at Far View. This quaint home offered all we could’ve hoped for. Was spotless inside , was warm , comfortable, very well stocked, and secure for our puppy. Bathrooms have recently been stylishly renovated , shower was great and beds were snuggly. The view from the lounge & kitchen across open farmland was just so peaceful.
