Pet-friendly
A 10-minute walk to Beach 5, comfort awaits those who roost at Venus Bay’s original 1950's beach house restored with love! Pet friendly.
Linen, Wi-FI, Netflix, Firewood, A/C - all included - you're on holiday!
The first beach house built in Venus Bay's Estate Two in 1957, this beauty will envelope you. Rescued from disrepair and tastefully renovated during lockdown. We know you will love your time here.
Filled with modern designer comforts - it's the perfect city detox. A cosy and stylish nature lover’s wonderland, that offers year round enjoyment. Air conditioning to keep the heat at bay, or a lovely warming indoor fire for winter.
Set on coveted Atherton Drive, you’ll wander along its secluded back track to beautiful Venus Bay Beach #5, a pleasant 10 minute stroll away.
Upon entering you’ll notice light beaming through each of the comfortable and inviting rooms.
Original artwork graces the walls and a combination of designer, vintage and locally made furniture ensures a comfortable stay.
A well equipped, modern, kitchen with Caesar stone bench tops, modern appliances, and all the bits and pieces ready for the chef in you.
Let your inner DJ out with the ready to go stereo and vinyl ready to spin, or simply connect to Spotify, Netflix and playlist yourself into the evening.
Outside, enjoy an after beach shower and marvel in the rich tapestry of yellow crested cockatoos, galahs, honey eaters, kangaroos, and resident wombat will meander the local surroundings for those attentively seeking them out.
Wash away the day with a walk-in shower, heated towel rail and bathroom integrated washer and dryer.
An adjustable standing desk with accessories sits politely in the corner of the main bedroom for keyboard warriors to connect up to or ignore.
Take in the stars, rest around the fire pit, and wonder if life could get much better!
Available for minimum 5 night / 6-day rentals during peak holidays (summer & school), or for 2-day minimums all other times.
Note : Wheelchair accessible for those requiring mobility assistance. Doorways onto the deck have no lip and are the same height.

Hi - my wife Elizabeth and I have enjoyed the sleepy hamlet of Venus Bay for almost a decade. We have renovated and furnished a beach escape for everyone to enjoy - called The Rookery. We love retro styling, modern comforts, and relaxing beach house vibes. We hope that you will too!
