Top Notch
This is the only place I would stay again if going back to Venus Bay. The balcony view, sunsets and overall comfort made for a delightful stay.

lovely location
Unfortunately we needed to clean the house and windows before unpacking our car. A thorough scrub is required! Would have given more stars if it had been clean.

Holiday Of The Year
This is my second review and you will see plenty more, this place is fantastic. Since last year when we stayed they have done some upgrades to the property and that has made it all the more enjoyable. You can see from the minute you walk into this place the care and love that has gone into making this house the most it can be for the guests that are visiting, it really makes you feel relaxed and like your getting the best value for money possible. The quality of all of the fixtures and fittings make you feel like your in paradise, not to mention the view over the bay, WOW. I highly recommend this place if your after a holiday of a lifetime. We have already started to plan our holiday for next year and we won't even consider anywhere else, we love it.

Serenity
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay in this beautiful home! All of the kitchen facilities and furniture was of a very high standard. It is a really lovely peaceful place, and the views and sunsets were amazing - easily enjoyed from everywhere in the house, plus the upstairs and downstairs patios. A great spot to sit with an afternoon drink and take it all in. It was also an added bonus that we were able to take our dog with us - he loved the freedom!

A taste of paradise
There really aren't enough stars to rate our experience at Dolphin highly enough. This is beautiful home, lovingly built with features like double-glazed windows and good insulation that keep it warm and comfortable on cold nights. The kitchen is fabulous and really well equipped. Our teens loved the upstairs area for the ping pong table. We adults loved the balcony with the view. Beds were comfortable, as was all the furniture. Very highly recommended!
