Excellent Beach House Get away.
We Arrived on a Friday night to celebrate a 60th birthday with friends, the place was very warm and inviting. It was very clean and spacious, it also didn't take long to heat up with the split-air system, and getting the log fire going was a breeze as all accessories to do this are supplied.The house its self is quite large, and the kitchen and bathroom facilities were excellent. I should also mention that there are plenty of games in the house should the weather turn bad, along with wifi and a large dvd selection if you just wish to spend the night in on the couch Note! All the bedrooms had heating which was good to know as it can get cold in the mornings.As for the location, it was within walking distance to No.1 beach and to the local pub / restaurants, takeaway joints along with the ice cream parlour. And was an easy drive to everything else that Venus Bay had to offer.We enjoyed the stay very much and although ours was just a short stay, I could easily see us spending longer there.

Awesome property with amazing communications.
Very short distance to the beach and shops. Enjoyed with kids and especially with my dog. Like the property rule with no pets allowed in the bedroom. So bedrooms were very clean to stay. Good size for multiple families. Cheers!!

Not bad.
Plenty of space for a family or two, can probably sleep eleven okay. Portable electric heaters in most bed rooms. Reverse cycle heating and air conditioning in the big rooms. No doona covers. Was in good condition. Close to shops with a few eating places, and small grocery shop. Easy walk to No. 1 beach.

Holiday with family and friends
Exceptionally great holiday house. Shops just around the corner and a 10 min walk up to the patrolled beach at beach 1. The house is very spacious and has a fantastic room at the back for teenage kids. Our dogs were fenced on the veranda however this did get very wet when it rained. Overall 10/10 and we will return.
