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.

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.

    We really enjoyed our stay, it is quite well equipped although suitable cookware was limited for the induction stovetop, tv selection was great, very relaxing and comfortable accomodation and beach was fabulous. There were a few cons Rubbish bins were full even though we got there the day after rubbish collection and the washing machine was stale smelling and very dirty. Overall it wasn’t fussy so we could relax and enjoyed our stay very much

    We arrived to a lovely warm welcome, freshly cleaned house with the heating left on for our arrival. Everything you need for a few days or longer stay. Being so close to the beach and the bushy track out the back gate is a bonus.

    Perfect place for a quiet weekend. Took my partner and doggie. Very close walk to the beach. Garden is well fenced for most dogs. Small ones and good jumpers might get out but that’s to be expected. Will definitely be trying to book a break here again in the future.
