THINGS TO SEE AND DO

Venus Bay's pristine Beach No. 5 is a short walk out the back gate.

The Venus Bay village has a fantastic café, well-equipped general store, fish and chip shop, pizza takeaway and ice-creamery.

Tarwin Lower has a great pub with a courtesy bus that can pick you up from your door. There is also a supermarket, butcher, post office, organic store, chemist, hardware, petrol station and take away.

Venus Bay is a great base for a day trip to either Philip Island or Wilson's Promontory. Both of these are a nice scenic drive away and are feature-packed. You may like to stop in at Walkerville South on the way and discover beautiful protected beaches with incredible views.

Wonthaggi Coal mine is well worth a visit and has a very interesting underground tour, especially if the kids are into Minecraft. Another local coal experience can be had at Korumburra. It is the South Gippsland version of Sovereign Hill.

There are farmers' markets aplenty with beautiful fresh, local produce. With Koonwarra, Tarwin Lower, Kongwak, Inverloch and Wonthaggi all hosting markets - there is generally one on somewhere.

Holiday at the Beach
Great house for two couples (to share cost) and kids. 10min Short walk to beautiful beach. House well appointed but getting a little bit tired. We had a great time there. Dog friendly but we couldn’t leave ours outside on their own as they kept finding places to get out. Only chicken wire fencing.

The house is in a great location, close to the beach and direct access to the bushy walk from the back gate. Steven was super helpful when Venus Bay had an unexpected blackout and offered to reimburse any additional expenses for candles, torches or anything needed to cope with the blackout, he even offered the use of his second property should we have needed it. The house is big and comfortable with a laidback feeling of a beach holiday. We would very happily go back there again.

Great dog friendly property close by dog friendly beach
Overall a great property, had all necessary amenities catered for. Hairdryer advertised was broken. Super warm and cosy for a winter break. Generally clean, definitely needed cleaning improvements around kitchen areas, bbq and windows quite dirty from previous residents/dogs. Needing basic maintenance but would consider again.
