The house and surrounds are just beautiful and suit us well for our regular stay at Venus. Lots of lovely spots and access to walking tracks at the river. Great location for access to beaches 4,5 and the river, thoroughly enjoyed by our dog. The house is very comfortable and equipped in all the appliances needed for an easy stay and more. The check in and out and all communication about the property has been handled very promptly and professionally by Brock from Alex Scott. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property for relaxing visit to Venus Bay.

Fabulous house, well set up for dogs with good fencing, great kitchen facilities for staying in to cook, good location.
Clean and tidy, but shower needs another once over, lovely character home, lounge room awkward furniture layout for socialising

Much needed break
The house was lovely inside, with a great outdoor area as well. Everything was provided to live and relax in style. We were allowed to bring our pet dog, and it's near a dog beach. We enjoyed swimming close by also at Beach No 5.

Last minute long weekend getaway in April
Great location, short walk to the beach…not great for kids to swim but really beautiful.
Really nice little place. Bathroom has been beautifully renovated.
Bedrooms are a little tired and quilts and pillows could do with an update. Mattress in 3rd bedroom is really soft.
Kitchen had everything we needed.
No dryer and clothes don’t dry on the line well…need a clothes horse for inside in the cooler weather.
No hairdryer and we forgot ours.
Fireplace was beautiful to sit in front of at night.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Nice and tidy the house feels warm and inviting, especially when it’s cold outside.
There were some problems, the doors to bedrooms locked people in the rooms when they closed the doors.
Some dishes were not washed, cleaned dishes were stacked on top of dirty dishes.
Switches to ceiling fans did not work properly as it should.
