A beautiful property containing everything you need for a very comfortable stay! It is clean, tidy, and beautifully furnished with modern appliances. The owner has put in a lot of thought and effort, to ensure the comfort of their guests. We spent our days driving down to Wilson’s Promontory and our evenings enjoying a hot meal whilst watching Netflix. We absolutely loved our stay - thank you so much!

Great house and great location

The house had everything you could want. One problem was a missing blackout blind in the children’s bunk room, and no hairdryer. We had Xmas dinner for 8 adults and 3 children and everything we needed was there. We could not figure out how to use the video machine, that may have been our problem though. We will definitely book again. Phil was great with his communication.

Venus Bay getaway

Our family had the wonderful pleasure of staying in this beautiful home. It catered to every need from the adults to the teens and kids, from separate living areas, filled with bedrooms, bathrooms, entertainment areas, to a huge living / dining area! A fabulous deck, fireplace and backyard . Modern, very clean and so comfortable! 5 minute walk to the local shops, 15 minute walk to one of the many beaches in Venus Bay!! We can not highly recommend this home enough. And to top it off we were able to have our dog with us.. We will definitely be making this home a regular booking. Thank you for having us

Wonderful place to get away with friends and the fur kids :)

My friends and I were lucky enough to hire Pandora's Escape for the first week of January and found it was the perfect place to recharge the batteries, spend time at the Beach and explore all that South Gippsland has to offer. The house is brand new, bright and clean and has all you need for a comfortable stay. The owner of the property was great with communication and responded quickly to any queries. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the large back deck each evening after a big day at the Beach, cooking a BBQ with a drink in hand. The No. 1 Beach in Venus Bay was only a short 10min walk away and if you felt like getting out for a drive, there were plenty of nice little towns and Beaches to explore close by. The fact that we were able to share our holiday with our fur kids was the icing on the cake. I highly recommend this property and would definitely hire again.
