Melaleuca - Venus Bay, South Australia - Beautiful views, tranquil setting

Melalauca cabin has access to Harbor Point's private beach, set on 70 acres of virgin native vegetation, wonderful for nature walks along the cliff tops and bird watching. It's own private beachfront allows small boats and canoes to be launched and moored for easy access to your favourite whiting spot or to explore an island. The cabin maximises the scenic views of the bay spanning from Venus Bay past the islands to Port Kenny, with wonderful sunsets and the lights of the two towns by night. Plus it has a lockable dog kennel for your pets holiday.

Melaleuca is an open plan cabin with a small master bedroom containing an orthopedic queen size mattress and there is a semi detached bedroom which has 4 single beds and a double bed. There is a potbelly for heating and reverse cycle air conditioner for cooling with ceiling fans. A family size stove, microwave and cooking utensils, crockery and utensils are all supplied. A gas BBQ is on the outdoor entertaining area which encapsulates the stunning views and tranquility of the place, plus a common outdoor wood BBQ and campfire area. The shower and toilet have hot and cold rain water available. Melaleuca has an electric fridge/ freezer. There is a TV/DVD and stereo system with CD player for your enjoyment.

A laundry is available for those staying 7 days or more.

A second smaller cabin is available if required, for further information please enquire or view www.stayz.com.au/27987


LOW KEY ECO-FRIENDLY SETUP

A great way to support the environment, this cabin is totally eco-friendly!
The cabin is run by alternative energy, powered by solar panels and wind generators, with backup batteries and back up generator.

The water supply is rain water, so we do ask that you be water wise and take short showers.

You are required to clean the cabin when you leave, so please be prepared to give it a decent clean, leaving it for the next visitors as you would like to find it. Alternatively, if you wish to pay for the cleaning, we can arrange this.

We also ask that you respect the tranquility and its uniqueness of the property, thus we ask that you be responsible for all family/guests in your group (i.e. excessive noise, hooning, wandering around other private dwellings on the property or not tiding up after yourself is not appreciated, thanks). Also if you are bringing a pet we ask that you be responsible pet owners and respect the wild life around.

EXPLORE, FISH THEN RELAX

Loved our stay here- great location with beautiful scenery
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Our 2WD managed the road in easily and we had no issues managing power as everything was so well set up. Well stocked cabin for a family. Venus Bay is very beautiful and there is plenty to do in the surrounding areas. We stayed 3 nights.

Loved the peace and quiet, and the eco friendly set up. Everything worked, we were warm and comfortable. The blow flies in the laundry were an issue, we could not find where they got in. And the house not very well cleaned. But overall a relaxing quiet stay.

How's the serenity
Information provided was comprehensive and the location is stunning. This is a real find, bit off the beaten track so great to get away from it all. We also enjoyed being able to have our Aussie Terrier along who enjoyed all the new smells. Julie was a great host.

The property met our expectations, great views of the harbour and close to the beach and Venus Bay itself. Unfortunately the Harbour Point dirt road badly needs grading by the council .. doesn’t suit car with low profile tyres

HIDDEN TREASURE!!!
An amazing place to unwind and just relax and watch the world go by. Even with our collision with a roo had a silver lining if there could be one. Had 2 local couples stop and rescue us. MASSIVE SHOUT OUTS to Fred and Deb from Venus Bay and Alleleise and Neville Dophin restoring our faith in the fact there are still amazing kind people in this world. We will be back!!..... But with a car that has a bullbar :) And thank you Julie for your understanding and allowing us to stay at an amazing part of the world.

cute shack nestled in nature
if you love nature and tranquillity, this is for you. small, fairly basic shack with gorgeous views over venus bay that is nestled in native scrub. you will have butcherbirds and shrike thrushes singing outside your window. we ate most of our meals outside on the deck, overlooking the bay. great experience for a couple who likes nature.

Anniversary Holiday
Melaleuca was a gem of a find. This place was well equipped and perfect if you want to get away from it all. The instructions on the place were received well in advance of our travel which I liked as I like to be organised. It was great to be able to take our dog with us and she absolutely loved the place. Its very close to a private beach which is great. Would definitely stay here again.
