Venus Bay
This property is one of the best pet friendly places I've stayed at. I really like how the house has all the living areas together on the ground floor, bedrooms, bathroom with toilet & another separate toilet, kitchen & lounge room. Upstairs inside BBQ area with table tennis table, if you choose to use. All nice and clean. We were very lucky we had great weather with a beautiful sunset on the horizon, with the lights of Venus Bay and the water glistening, was really beautiful. I didn't realise that Venus Bay had cliffs on the other side of the town, you can do a couple of different walks during the day, 5 minute drive from the house, one around the bay, and then drive up the scenic view road, go for a walk along the cliffs. Listen to the waves crashing, fantastic.

Wonderful view and everything you need
This property has a wonderful view, and is very well appointed with everything we needed. 5 stars! Perhaps we got lucky with the amount of sunlight, but despite the warnings about conserving power, we managed on solar power alone, even though we ran the reverse cycle heater each morning and evening. My only complaint is that the requirement to clean the property before leaving is a bit of a pain, and took quite some time. I suggest getting a cleaner after each visit and charging a little more cleaning fee.

Great location
On our arrival to the property we found the kitchen and its utensils dirty even some parts un washed. But regarding the property location , views, interaction with the owner , overall house, it was very nice and comfortable

Lovely accommodation in quiet peaceful setting
We really enjoyed "Dolphin". Had a problem with the combustion heater, it billowed smoke into whole room. Could not use. Apart from that everything was great.
