About this property

Ocean view of Venus Bay

Ocean View: Newly renovated shack with a modern large deck boasting one of the best views of Venus Bay including the entrance. Enjoy the outdoors along with a 8 pce outdoor setting & BBQ.
Rooms are relatively small, sleeps 6 comfortably. There are 4 bedrooms, 1 room with Queen size bed and ocean view, 1 x room with double bed and 2 more bedrooms sleep a single in each.
Unfortunately due to water restrictions you will need to bring all linen for bedding. I will supply all bath linen & t towels.

Open plan lounge/kitchen/dining with 50" TV , fully equipped kitchen inc. dishwasher, Nespresso coffee pod machine (so stock up on some pods before you come), huge fridge/freezer and a glass sliding door overlooking Venus Bay.
Also we have a Spare room with a TV & DVD, board games etc & recipe books. A storage cupboard (in double bedroom) with Bocce ball & other fun stuff.
The laundry/bathroom has a small bath under shower, new 7.5kg automatic front loading washing machine & tumble dryer. Please note linen is not supplied due to water restrictions. Only towels, hand, flannel & tea towels supplied.

A slim long block with plenty of room to park your vehicle/s and boat/trailer. Equipped with 2 large water tanks. Ocean View is an easy to maintain shack with knick knacks throughout.

Location & Surroundings

Ocean View is a private block at the back of Venus Bay. Boasting incredible views of Pt Weyland and overlooking the entrance & entire bay.
Venus is approx 750km from Adelaide, 240kms from Pt Lincoln. Larger towns such as Streaky Bay & Elliston are approx 65kms either side.Venus Bay is very close to popular destinations such as Mt.Camel, Talia, Rincon and Venus Bay Conservation Park. Bit further on sees Murphys Haystacks & Swim with the Seals "Bairds Bay". Venus is uniquely located on a small stretch of land overlooking the beautiful calm waters and behind the town is the rugged coastline of the deep open ocean.Venus Bay has very few permanent residents but swells dramatically in the summertime. There is a well equipped Caravan Park and Kiosk also a Liquor Licensed General Store with outdoor Dining experience.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!!

Renown for the King George Whiting & "Venus Bay Western King Prawns", Venus also has Trevally, Salmon, Squid and Sandcrabs just to mention a few. A feast you won't forget.

Also, when taking a walk on South Head trail, look for the dolphins in the mouth of the entrance. And for the seal that at times lives by the jetty.

If you enjoy surfing then Venus has some great nearby surf spots, home of Kingo's Surf School.


All we ask is that you leave the shack as you find it. Enjoy your Stay :)

Relaxing, comfortable and convenient location.

Well presented, clean and comfortable property with everything you need. Great views of Venus bay from the living area and deck and with ample parking for cars/boat. Conveniently located to the South Head walk (a must) and within walking distance to the general store. I'd recommend Karen's property and Venus Bay if you're looking to get away for a relaxing break.

Venus March 2024 Fishing trip

Perfect for our requirements. Everything worked. BBQ was in need of a clean but otherwise all good. Inadvertently locked ourselves out when closing the rear sliding screen door but managed to get back in OK. Latch must have slipped into lock position before closing. Nice touch with complimentary wine - appreciated that thank you!

The house is great but we spent most of our time on the front deck to enjoy the panoramic views of Venus Bay. The table on the deck doubled as a desk and boardgame platform during the day; desk with the best views in SA!
