Such a great place to hang out. No 4 and 5 beaches are gems and the town itself was nice and quiet. Thanks for being such a good host Michael.

Great stay!

Our family loved staying at this property. The location is amazing and the house was very comfortable. We loved the mid century feel! Only whinge is that the bbq was not usable, the tyres on the bikes were flat and the pool table fitted into a small box. Having said that we would stay again hopefully they will replace the grill on the bbq

Secluded relaxation :)

Michael's place was a wonderful place to stay. Relaxing space with beautiful eclectic decor - great time away where everything was though out to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Wonderful way to spend a weekend - secluded beach walks and a balcony overlooking nature. Recommended!

Great location

Can't fault the location right across from the ocean in a quiet street. Not far from Beach no.4 which we visited multiple times. Unfortunately there are known issues with housekeeping & property management but will hopefully be sorted out. Wet laundry, dirty sheets, old rough towels, un mopped floors & couldn't use the BBQ.

Peace and tranquillity in a 70s time capsule

Look out over pristine tea tree covered sand dunes hiding a 27km long surf beach on the other side. A peaceful 70s time capsule in a quiet bird filled street. Perfect.

A wonderful weekend at Venus Bay, swam, walked the dogs, entertained octogenarian and nonagenarian in-laws and parents in a great setting - they even managed the stairs!

Great place

Had everything we needed. Only negative was the beach nearby didn’t allow dogs (even on leads) but that’s nothing to do with the house. Loved toasting marshmellows on the fire pit.

A great spot to get away from the hustle of the city. Loved the house with vintage furnishings and the roar of the ocean was a balm.

Better than imagined

The sound of the beach & view over the tea trees along with the sky from the balcony was breath taking. Loved the vintage, zen retreat vibe. Lots to do at the house and close to the house.

Serenity & Nostalgia

We had beautiful few days with our kids (9 & 11) in Venus bay. Michael was easy to communicate with and the house was equipped with everything we might need. The location was the best , walking distance to #4 beach which is stunning! The house is filled with collectables and retro memorabilia which gave me big time flashbacks :) We hope to stay again sometime.
