Tranquility & comfort

Well appointed property that could comfortably accomodate a large family group. Very comfortable beds. Really appreciated that it was off grid but with full range of appliances. Fabulous efficient combustion heater and west facing windows made this so cosy in winter. We loved the peace of the location in the middle of low native scrub, superb views of the bay, glorious sunsets and close to the many attractions of the Wild West coast of Eyre Peninsula. It was particularly special to be able to have our dog stay with us.

Venus Bay

This property is one of the best pet friendly places I've stayed at. I really like how the house has all the living areas together on the ground floor, bedrooms, bathroom with toilet & another separate toilet, kitchen & lounge room. Upstairs inside BBQ area with table tennis table, if you choose to use. All nice and clean. We were very lucky we had great weather with a beautiful sunset on the horizon, with the lights of Venus Bay and the water glistening, was really beautiful. I didn't realise that Venus Bay had cliffs on the other side of the town, you can do a couple of different walks during the day, 5 minute drive from the house, one around the bay, and then drive up the scenic view road, go for a walk along the cliffs. Listen to the waves crashing, fantastic.

Wonderful view and everything you need

This property has a wonderful view, and is very well appointed with everything we needed. 5 stars! Perhaps we got lucky with the amount of sunlight, but despite the warnings about conserving power, we managed on solar power alone, even though we ran the reverse cycle heater each morning and evening. My only complaint is that the requirement to clean the property before leaving is a bit of a pain, and took quite some time. I suggest getting a cleaner after each visit and charging a little more cleaning fee.

Stunning Location

If seclusion and view are what you are looking for then this is the property for you. Value for money is poor as you are required take your own linen and towels, and to clean the property as well as pay for cleaning. We found dirty dishes, floors had not been swept, dusty furniture, sand on lounges etc. The overall property could be amazing, however it is not maintained very well.

Fantastic accommodation

We stayed in the Dolphin location for 6 nights with our young kids, friends and dogs. The house was beautiful with the perfect area upstairs for when the kids were in bed and us adults could relax a little. The kitchen is huge which made group cooking that much easier. There is so much storage throughout the house which meant we all had plenty of space to store our belongings. The water tanks emptied on our last night but Julie was on to the issue straight away and we had water again within an hour. The surrounding area was perfect for the kids and dogs to explore. There was plenty of 4WD tracks around too which kept us all busy and entertained. The house is well equipped with appliances and entertainment for all. The only things we could pick on were the BBQ being quite dirty when we arrived but we cleaned it up quickly and it worked great. Not all of the queen beds were super comfy but we had more than enough blankets to go around. Overall, we all had a fantastic time and can't rate this property high enough! Thanks so much Julie!
