Earthsea - Venus Bay

Welcome to our cozy holiday retreat! This unique house is designed to impress with its rustic charm, featuring reclaimed and repurposed materials like plywood walls and accents of reclaimed timber.

North facing and filled with natural light, the home is warm and inviting throughout winter, while the spacious covered deck captures refreshing coastal breezes during summer. A wood heater and ceiling fans provide year round comfort, whatever the season.

Upstairs, the open-plan living area is bright and flexible, with large sliding doors opening onto the deck and bringing the outdoors in. The well equipped kitchen has plenty of storage, a walk-in pantry, dishwasher and a generous island bench, making it easy to cook and gather together.

Step outside onto the covered deck to enjoy lovely views across the inlet, with a peaceful setting for morning coffee, sunset drinks or simply soaking up the surrounds. The upper level also features two comfortable bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, along with a central bathroom with shower and vanity.

Downstairs, a spacious rumpus room provides the perfect kids' retreat, complete with bunk beds and comfortable sofas. A second bathroom and convenient external access to the laundry add practicality for families and larger groups.

Whether you're relaxing by the wood heater, enjoying the fresh air on the deck or watching the changing colours over the inlet, this distinctive holiday home offers a comfortable and memorable getaway.

At just 2 hours and 15 minutes from central Melbourne, Venus Bay is the perfect location for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of city living. With a stunning patrolled surf beach and quiet inlet just a short distance away it caters to everyone from experienced surfers to toddlers experiencing the beach for the first time.
Combined with all of these natural treasures is the charming ambience of a wonderful coastal village containing cafes, restaurants and boutique retailers.

Perfect for bigger parties, clean and well-equipped

Great stay, had everything we needed and more. Amazing for those who love to cook because there are so many appliances. Great location, great for kids. Many many mozzies but otherwise perfect

Earthsea review

We stayed for 3 nights with our friends and family. We have spent a lot of time in the area as locals, but needed bigger accommodation for the rest of the tribe. Overall we enjoyed our stay, Venus bay is a special place, quiet and beautiful, with easy access to the Ocean and inlet, and beautiful walks at point smythe. Trudy the property manager was very helpful and easy to communicate with, although there was some miscommunication around check in time, that wasn't received well by the other staff upon arrival to collect keys.We also felt a bit stressed about the water - having received a phone call to be mindful of water usage due to the dry Summer. We felt that wasn't our issue to stress about as its easy enough to get the water tank filled in preparation for guests arrival. We are always mindful of water usage but it is the responsibility of the owner and managers to ensure they can comfortably house the allocated number of guests during Summer. We were also disappointmen to find the house was unclean upon arrival, we had to clean and dust before the rest of our friends came. There were cobwebs everywhere, the oven door was covered in greasy marks, there were still crumbs on the bench top and on the cupboard doors and water all over the sink. For 1100 we expected better then that. The location was good, a quiet street with the sounds of the ocean to fall asleep to and a nice expansive view from the balcony.After a few hiccups in the lead up we relaxed in and enjoyed it
