Holiday house

Located in Venus Bay's leafy Second Estate this well-appointed three bedroom beach house is a 15 minute stroll from the ocean and a 10 minute walk to the fishing and boating mecca of Anderson Inlet. And you'll discover a recently built children's playground set in a bushland park that's just metres away from the property.

Nature ultimately takes centre stage at Buddha's Place. Each morning you'll wake up to the sound of crashing waves and throughout the day you'll spot an array of wildlife including friendly kangaroos, stunning native birds and, if you're lucky, the odd wombat.

To make the most of sunny days the property has two outdoor living areas. The front veranda is the perfect place for a dose of quiet contemplation. At the back of the house you'll find Buddha himself (in the form of a statue carved from Balinese volcanic stone) sitting in a peaceful garden as well as a large, sun dappled deck with dining and BBQ facilities.

The home has three bedrooms: two have queen sized beds, the other a single. The cosy lounge room features a fireplace for you to enjoy when the temperature drops while the spacious open plan kitchen and dining area is perfect for serious entertainers.

If you're after a relaxing time away at a property that's both stylish and family friendly, Buddha's Place at Venus Bay is the destination for you.

Locality

The town of Venus Bay is situated on a narrow peninsula of land located 180km south-east of Melbourne. Originally named Evergreen the town takes its name from the body of water on its western shore. On the eastern side of the peninsula is Anderson's Inlet, named after the settler Samuel Anderson.

Venus Bay has become a popular holiday retreat for people from Melbourne and is close to other popular South Gippsland tourist spots such as Phillip Island and Wilsons Promontory. The permanent population hovers around the 500 mark, however this can swell into the thousands during holiday periods. The town is split into three 'estates'. The First Estate is home to the only shopping strip in Venus Bay, consisting of a general store, fishing and surfing store, take-away shops, real estate agents, caravan park and a restaurant. Three of Venus Bay's five surf beaches (Nos. 1, 2 and 3 beaches) are in the First Estate, with the Venus Bay Surf Livesaving Club located at the No. 1 Beach. This is the only patrolled beach, although during the busy summer period surf patrols regularly make their way up and down the beaches to just beyond No. 5 beach. The First Estate also has the Venus Bay Community Centre, which houses twighlight markets during the summer holidays and other community activities.
