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. Beautiful ocean beaches, numerous National Parks, Inlets, fishing, scenic drives, fabulous local restaurants, cook up a storm in the well equipped kitchen or just relax!

Come and see for yourself why Venus Bay is one of Victoria's best kept secrets!

Lovely spot and great weather. Plenty of accommodation for 4 children and 4 adults. The house could do with a bit of a spruce but on the plus side it also means less worry with children (and dogs). Well equipped re everything you might have forgotten . Overall a very easy relaxing holiday. We lost a favoured toy which the owners found and went out of their way to return. Such a kind and thoughtful gesture.

The Pickled Pipi was a perfect house for our summer getaway. Located in the quiet second Venus bay estate & walking distance to beaches 4 &5. The house had everything we needed during our stay. Plenty of room, comfortable rooms & facilities. Kitchen was fantastically set up & heaps of cooking books to browse. Upstairs, a wonderful library of books & games for the kids. The deck was a perfectly secure area for our fur baby. He loved his twice daily walks. Anderson Inlet was a great exploration location too, with the crabs and the mangroves. Plenty of wildlife, sighted daily on walks, and daily evidence of our local wombat passing through the property. Perfect relaxation holiday home!

Beautiful, spacious, tranquil, with a great kitchen and comfy beds! Fast wifi (keep in mind there’s limited phone reception). The host was responsive and welcoming. Unfortunately though we couldn’t recommend staying at Pickled Pipi until it’s been thoroughly cleaned. The house was extremely dirty when we arrived. Some beds had been visibly slept in with hair and dirt; there was dust, cobwebs and mouse droppings on many surfaces; th fridge, compost and pantry were soiled. The host was extremely apologetic and provided a partial refund, but we’d recommend confirming the house has been deep cleaned before booking a stay.
