About this property

Fall asleep to the sounds of the beach waves

Very close to the patrolled Beach One and the local Venus Bay shops, this relaxed and comfortable 2BR is just over the dunes in the celestial street area. Warm polished Tasmanian oak floorboards, large wooden windows, Danish modernist furniture & dado wall panelling give this cosy beach house a warm & welcoming feel.

Spacious bedrooms with comfortable queen beds will have you well-rested.

Lounge or dine on the large undercover deck (with dimmable downlights and large ceiling fan) at the back of the house. Make your self at home, and relax.

About the house...

The large airy bedrooms have comfortable mattresses and blockout blinds so you’ll sleep soundly on your well-earned holiday.

The kitchen pantry has all the essentials such as oils, vinegars, spices, and a few staples for your use.

The fast NBN WiFi allows you to WFH (if you have to) and the HDTV and an Amazon Firestick mean you can bring all your favourite streaming services with you. Or disconnect with a great classic & cult movie selection to watch on the DVD player. You'll find board games in the sideboard.

Relax on the large undercover deck or enjoy your morning coffee (Nespresso pod machine) on the front verandah.

In the winter months the built-in fireplace keeps the house nice & toasty (also panel heating in BRs), while ceiling fans throughout the house keep you cool in the summer. The verandah around the house also makes the house much cooler on warmer days.

All you'll need to bring are your sheets and towels, (pillows and doonas provided). Linens (sheets, pillow & doona covers, bath towels) can be offered for a fee of $50 per bed/per stay. As we are on rain water tanks in Venus Bay we encourage guests to bring their own linens.

Great house that has been very tastefully and thoughtfully set up. Walking distance to beach 1 and the shops. Good layout with comfortable bedrooms contained in one area (not just off the main living room).

Cottage comfort

This is a cute little cottage tucked in behind the first beach at Venus Bay. It has very comfy beds and lounges and a complete kitchen. The property is on tank water so you need to be mindful of water usage and bring your own linens. The owner is incredibly obliging. Lots of board games and a resident wombat. It would suit a family.

A gem of a house

This house is a gem. Great location within easy walking distance to shops and through dunes to the beach. The house is really well equipped and very comfortable and makes you feel immediately relaxed. Owen is a great host. Very responsive and provided us with great local tips. It’s a winner! Thanks Owen.

Lovely house close to the beach

We had a lovely stay in this house. It was really well set up with everything we needed. Owen was super helpful and answered all our questions. The house has games, a TV, BBQ and everything else you need to entertain you, and is a short walk from the shops and beach. The only slight drawback is that there is just one small bathroom, which might be an issue depending on how many guests you have. Besides that everything was great.

Just gorgeous

We loved this place. Such a great vibe - relaxed, cute and comfortable. It is decorated throughout in a beautiful mid-century style. Very well resourced kitchen and so, so quiet, just the sound of the waves at night. Very private and surrounded by greenery. Highly recommended.

Relaxing few days

Had a great few days in Venus Bay with our 3 kids. The property had all that we needed, was well stocked with all the necessities to make the break easy and relaxing. Our kids are 4,6, & 8 and had a fun time exploring the surroundings, time on the beach and a day trip to each of the Prom and Phillip Island.

Happy times!

We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at Under the Milky Way. With two toddlers in tow, we found the house and surrounds to be very kid friendly. We had a ball at the nearby beach. The beds were super comfy - good night sleeps had by all. Looking forward to planning our next trip back.

Great home, we really enjoyed staying at Milky Way. The kitchen was new and well stocked. Comfortable and enjoyable living/eating areas. Very comfortable beds, was impressed, as we find it difficult to find a house that pays attention to this. Short walk to shops, walk to beach was a bit far for little kids but good parking at beach 1. Enjoyed pippie collecting and eating. Thanks for a great house to relax in. Very quiet spot.

No.4 Milky Way is a great place for an enjoyable hassle free relaxing stay. The house has everything you need to escape for the week. It is close enough to walk to the shops/beach and located in a peaceful surrounding. A credit to the owner and I would recommend a stay.
