An adults only nature retreat with one self contained cottage nestled in protected bush land on the South Gippsland coast, away from suburban areas and tourist crowds. The cottage is ideal for couples or a single and sleeps max two adults; we do not accept bookings with children or infants.
Rustic outside and modern inside, the cottage is comfortable in all seasons with reverse cycle air conditioning, rainwater, certified organic products and a self contained kitchen. Animal products are cooked outside on the sheltered deck. Picture windows and sliding glass doors provide natural light, air circulation and private views ideal for observing wildlife.
From the cottage you can walk or drive to nearby bird-rich wetlands at Anderson Inlet and stunning sandy beaches at Cape Liptrap Coastal Park. Wilsons Promontory National Park is 80kms scenic drive along the coast. The retreat is within easy reach of rural villages, national and marine parks, boutique wineries and slow food restaurants showcasing the diverse produce of the region.
The property is 5.6 hectares of coastal bush land managed with a Trust for Nature conservation covenant, protecting biodiversity in perpetuity on private land. Your visit helps conserve this beautiful coast and its unique wildlife.
The owner/manager Mae lives and works on site and is available to help you make the most of your stay to this diverse region while respecting your privacy. We are working with a Covid-safe plan, please read our check in information. We regret that due to the ongoing Covid pandemic we are not able to accommodate day visitors during your stay. Free WIFI is available at nearby Venus Bay Community Centre (6km)....

From 1983 Venus Bay Eco Retreat’s owner and host Mae lived on the property for a decade with a basic campsite. Mae says “Living with few creature comforts in the bush land allowed me to closely observe the annual seasons and wildlife. I now enjoy sharing this interest with visitors to the eco retreat.”
