Venus Bay is a quiet seaside village an easy 2 hour (150kms) drive from Melbourne through the beautiful Gippsland countryside. It is also half way between Philip Island (45 minutes away) and Wilson's Promontory (45 minutes away) two of Victoria's most popular tourist attractions. The village is famous for its surf beach which stretches for about 30 kms from Cape Liptrap to Point Smythe. The area is popular for surfing, fishing, walking and cycling and is full of wildlife including kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, echidnas, microbats and a plethora of birdlife. The Venus Bay shops are a 5 minute drive away and include a general store/mini supermarket, a pizza shop, fish n chips, ice cream shop, gift shop, cafes and restaurant/bar that has live music most Friday evenings. Tarwin Lower has a well equipped IGA Supermarket, hotel and licensed cafe and is a 5 minute drive. The closest main town is Inverloch a 20 minute drive away. This has larger supermarket and many shops, numerous markets and restaurants. The house is a 10-15 minute walk to the beach and a 5-10 minutes walk to the inlet flats where the kangaroos graze every day and frequent in the evenings. We have a wombat that lives here and many beautiful birds: parrots, cockatoos, galahs, wrens and the butcher birds and magpies are happy to be hand fed (they love mince meat). On a clear night, once the sun sets, the star show comes out as you relax on the deck whilst listening to the gentle sounds of the surf in the background. Venus Bay is the place to go for a beautiful natural environment and peace and quiet and to enjoy Australia's beautiful wildlife up close.
