LOW KEY ECO-FRIENDLY SETUP

A great way to support the environment, this cabin is totally eco-friendly!
The cabin is run by alternative energy, powered by solar panels and wind generators, with backup batteries and back up generator.

The water supply is rain water, so we do ask that you be water wise and take short showers.

You are required to clean the cabin when you leave, so please be prepared to give it a decent clean, leaving it for the next visitors as you would like to find it. Alternatively, if you wish to pay for the cleaning, we can arrange this.

We also ask that you respect the tranquility and its uniqueness of the property, thus we ask that you be responsible for all family/guests in your group (i.e. excessive noise, hooning, wandering around other private dwellings on the property or not tiding up after yourself is not appreciated, thanks). Also if you are bringing a pet we ask that you be responsible pet owners and respect the wild life around.

Loved the peace and quiet, and the eco friendly set up. Everything worked, we were warm and comfortable. The blow flies in the laundry were an issue, we could not find where they got in. And the house not very well cleaned. But overall a relaxing quiet stay.

How's the serenity
Information provided was comprehensive and the location is stunning. This is a real find, bit off the beaten track so great to get away from it all. We also enjoyed being able to have our Aussie Terrier along who enjoyed all the new smells. Julie was a great host.

The property met our expectations, great views of the harbour and close to the beach and Venus Bay itself. Unfortunately the Harbour Point dirt road badly needs grading by the council .. doesn’t suit car with low profile tyres

HIDDEN TREASURE!!!
An amazing place to unwind and just relax and watch the world go by. Even with our collision with a roo had a silver lining if there could be one. Had 2 local couples stop and rescue us. MASSIVE SHOUT OUTS to Fred and Deb from Venus Bay and Alleleise and Neville Dophin restoring our faith in the fact there are still amazing kind people in this world. We will be back!!..... But with a car that has a bullbar :) And thank you Julie for your understanding and allowing us to stay at an amazing part of the world.
