About this property

The large block is fully fenced - family and pet-friendly. There is also a medium-sized kennel on the undercover deck. Enjoy family game-time on the Bocce pitch, complete with a basketball ring. We even supply the balls!

The property is super-warm over those cooler nights with a wood-burning fireplace, double glazed windows and bulk insulation throughout keeps. It also features air conditioners throughout which both cools and heats to your desired temperature

The large fully-equipped kitchen features stone benchtops and stainless appliances.

The main bedroom has a queen-size bed with large ensuite and walk-in robe. Bedroom 2 has a queen-size bed, and built in robe. Bedroom 3 has two sets of single bunks with a roll-out trundle bed. Both Bedroom 1 and 3 have wall mounted tv's.

PLEASE NOTE: LINEN IS NOT INCLUDED, however, with sufficient prior notice, bed sheets, pillow slips and towels can be organised for an additional fee. (Doonas with covers and pillows are included.)

European laundry with front loader washing machine and outside clothesline.

The Doyles Road inlet beach is only a couple of minute's drive which is a safer swimming option for the little ones. It is also a designated dogs off-leash area all year round.

If you are into fishing, there is a decent boat ramp with jetty a short drive away. Other close options are the beach and Doyles road for land-based inlet fishing. Tarwin Lower boasts several purpose-built boardwalks along the picturesque Tarwin River also with a boat ramp.

Situated in a beautifully quiet location, you can drift off to sleep with the soothing sound of the surf and wake up gently to birdsong

Well behaved pets are welcome at Dune Haven. The property is set on a large, fully fenced block giving them plenty of room to run around and explore. We allow pets inside (although not on the furniture or in the bedrooms). There is also a medium-sized kennel on the undercover deck. Please advise if you are bringing pets when booking.

Venus Bay beaches are dog-friendly between Beaches 1 and 5 with the usual limited times over peak periods. A designated dogs off-leash beach is only a short drive away.

THINGS TO SEE AND DO

Venus Bay's pristine Beach No. 5 is a short walk out the back gate.

The Venus Bay village has a fantastic café, well-equipped general store, fish and chip shop, pizza takeaway and ice-creamery.

Tarwin Lower has a great pub with a courtesy bus that can pick you up from your door. There is also a supermarket, butcher, post office, organic store, chemist, hardware, petrol station and take away.

Venus Bay is a great base for a day trip to either Philip Island or Wilson's Promontory. Both of these are a nice scenic drive away and are feature-packed. You may like to stop in at Walkerville South on the way and discover beautiful protected beaches with incredible views.

Wonthaggi Coal mine is well worth a visit and has a very interesting underground tour, especially if the kids are into Minecraft. Another local coal experience can be had at Korumburra. It is the South Gippsland version of Sovereign Hill.

There are farmers' markets aplenty with beautiful fresh, local produce. With Koonwarra, Tarwin Lower, Kongwak, Inverloch and Wonthaggi all hosting markets - there is generally one on somewhere.
