Welcome to Koala Retreat Venus Bay!

Your homely brand new 3 bedroom holiday home away from home, nestled in the heart of South Gippsland, in the charming township of Venus Bay. Here, time stands still, and days are spent exploring or simply relaxing in the serene beauty of Koala Retreat!

Koala Retreat is a boutique hideaway surrounded by stunning native wildlife and flora. Unwind on the expansive deck, which serves as the perfect viewing platform for our delightful native wildlife

The space
Welcome to your perfect escape in the serene and sought-after Planets area of Venus Bay. Nestled among native wildlife and coastal charm, this brand-new, modern home offers everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable getaway.

Step inside this brand new 3 bedroom home, to find huge double doors to let in the sea breeze, stylish, contemporary interiors and an open-plan layout designed for easy living. The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, microwave, and everything you need to cook up a storm. There are three bedrooms—a king, a queen, and a single with a trundle—plus a single sofa bed.

With two toilets, a laundry with washing machine, and thoughtful touches throughout, the home is ideal for families, couples, or friends.

Entertainment is sorted with an LED flatscreen TV, unlimited high-speed NBN Wi-Fi, and access to your favourite streaming services—just log in and enjoy. There's also a library of books for both adults and children, plus a great selection of board games, toys, and family-friendly activities to keep everyone entertained, rain or shine.

In the cooler months, curl up beside the beautiful woodburner, creating the perfect cosy atmosphere after a day of adventuring or beachcombing. There's also a beautiful Fire pit for those who just can't get enough of the great outdoors. Check out the suburb sunsets, whilst keeping your toes warm!

Outside, an expansive deck invites you to unwind with a drink, listen to the breeze through the gums, and watch the birds flutter by. And keep your eyes peeled—will Eddie the Echidna, Coco the Koala, Cookie the Kookaburra or Mr Digby, the resident wombat, wander past today? You might just be in for a special visit.

Beyond the house, Venus Bay is yours to explore—pristine beaches, scenic bushwalks, local fishing spots, and charming nearby wineries offer something for everyone, whether you're chasing adventure or a quiet afternoon.

Whether you’re here to explore, unwind, or simply do nothing at all, this Venus Bay Koala Retreat is ready to welcome you!

The property is very modern, clean, neat and tidy. Beds super comfy. Kitchen has everything you need. Fireplace was amazing. Walking distance to local supermarket, fish n chips, pizza, pharmacy. Short drive to beaches. Recommend a visit to the pub in Tarwin Lower which is only 5 mins drive away. Highly recommend this gem location!
