Pandora @ Venus

The property is a quick 5 minute walk to local shops to get the morning papers, and a 12 minute walk to Venus Bay’s main beach (No. 1) which is surf patrolled in the summer months.

The house itself is very warm and cozy in the cooler months (thanks to a big wood fire), and light and breezy during the Summer. There is also air-conditioning. The deck is very pleasant to sit out on in the evenings (or lie in the hammock if you prefer!)

Main Features of the House

There are three bedrooms with a large open plan lounge and dining area. Sleeping options include two queen sized beds, bunks and a single bed. There is a separate bath and shower (with a large hot water service), and a laundry with a washing machine.

On the cooking front, the kitchen is modern with lots of quality cooking/ kitchen equipment. There is a microwave oven, two refrigerators (one for food and one for beverages) and a large gas BBQ.

For entertainment there is a TV with excellent all channel reception, DVD player with a DVD library, CD player with a good selection of CD’s, and a large collection of fiction & non-fiction books. There is also an assortment of board games
and outdoor games (petanque, etc).

For children we have a child’s highchair and children’s toys. There are also two beach boogie boards.

If you have pets, the property is fully fenced for them to run around in, and there is one outdoor dog kennel.

Venus Bay - What's on Offer

Venus Bay is a small coastal settlement, nestled in vegetated sand dunes that back onto the wild waters and golden sands of the Bass Strait coastline. Close to the township, there are five superb surf beaches that are patrolled by surf lifesavers in the summer months, as well as the state's longest sand spit at Anderson Inlet, where you can find safe, sheltered beaches ideal for families and swimming.

In 1997, the coastline from Venus Bay to Cape Liptrap was declared a Coastal Park and today offers visitors the change to see such unique historic sights as the old lighthouse, as well as viewing native Australian plants and wildlife in a truly natural habitat.
