There is a more accessible path nearby ;) \- equipped with a washing machine, microwave, flat screen TV and CD/DVD player \- and while off the beaten track, is within easy distance to Venus Bay’s shops and restaurants and the 24 km stretch of Venus Bay‘s wild and magical ocean. For details on the beach including patrol arrangements please see https://beachsafe.org.au/beach/vic/south-gippsland/venus-bay/venus-bay Please note: we operate on tank water and therefore DO NOT PROVIDE LINEN & TOWELS, including tea towels which we ask our guests to bring with them. We do provide doonas and pillows and warm blankets. What to do ? Walk to the beach over the dunes and through stunning bush via Lavender Cottage’s own access path – simply follow the shells in the trees ? Grab your boogie board and let yourself be carried away ? Sit in Lavender Cottage’s native garden, listen to, and watch, the abundant bird life ? Have a jump on the trampoline or check out our giant dolls house; read a book, play a board game or watch a DVD by the fire place ? Visit the boat ramp in the 3rd estate, go fishing, play on the playground or simply admire the sun set ? Enjoy the numerous out of town attractions/activities, including visiting the Inverloch Bunurong Environment Centre (27 km) to walk in the steps of dinosaurs, going on a tour of the Wonthaggi coal mine (38km), driving along the stunning Bunurong Coastal Drive marvelling at its rugged sandstone cliffs and sandy coves, stop by at Alison Lester’s gallery in Fish Creel (25km) - if you are a parent ‚Are we there yet’ will most likely already be on your bookshelf, if not you will want to buy it just like any of Alison’s books - or visiting the iconic Wilsons Promontory (80km) Dog friendly Lavender Cottage’s garden is fully fenced. Though we do note that Venus Bay's local wombat population is not impressed and has dug a number of holes underneath the fence which we have attempted to block (more or less successfully). If your dogs are escape artists, our garden is not the place for them, unfortunately. Well behaved dogs are allowed inside (but not on the furniture). Dogs are allowed on leash on No 1 to 5 beaches. Restrictions apply during summer (see photo for details). Please note that dogs are not allowed on the beach that can be accessed via, and including, Lavender Cottage's access path. There is an off-leash area on a further beach/wetland, about a 10 minute drive from Lavender Cottage (Doyles Road beach) where the Tarwin River meets the sea. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Shower ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Stereo - TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near the bay ### Things to do - Fishing nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108390000/108386500/108386407/20937d73.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cute Cottage with a View Venus Bay - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning - Parking available 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-22&endDate=2026-02-23&selected=108386407&PinnedHotelID=108386407&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, DVD player, books, video library](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110610000/110605900/110605897/f09bf416.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxe country retreat far from crowds, close to facilities, cosy warm winter land Leongatha North - Pool - Pet-friendly - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space 9.2 Wonderful 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-22&endDate=2026-02-23&selected=110605897&PinnedHotelID=110605897&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34190000/34186000/34185947/41a313fe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Waters Edge Retreat Inverloch - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 9.2 Wonderful 63 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-22&endDate=2026-02-23&selected=34185947&PinnedHotelID=34185947&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32160000/32157100/32157079/e8b1d67f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Vintage Sunrise Inverloch INVERLOCH - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.2 Wonderful 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-22&endDate=2026-02-23&selected=32157079&PinnedHotelID=32157079&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66790000/66788800/66788750/0e422bea.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Blue Bay - Inlet Side Inverloch - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Air-conditioning 8.0 Very good 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-22&endDate=2026-02-23&selected=66788750&PinnedHotelID=66788750&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100230000/100229200/100229186/60cfb4d1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tangara - A Stylish Newly Renovated Studio Apartment, close to the surf beach.

Very good communication with Nadja, who messaged me straight away to let me know the property was available, and also to remind me to bring sheets and towels. The instructions for the property are clear. I understand the restriction with water and providing sheets et cetera, but would rather they were all provided, to save ourselves the hassle. The place was comfortable and had everything we needed although could use some updating. Nevertheless, the fire was welcome and so was the split system. Well stocked kitchen. Water pressure was good and beds comfortable, so four stars for those things. Thank you for having us stay Nadja ##### Bronwen P.

Very quiet area, especially in the winter season, and the house is easy to keep warm. Very well set up with not only the things you need (eg. plenty of pots and pans and crockery), but tons of stuff to enjoy as well (huge selection of DVDs, lots of books, some CDs) and thoughtfully decorated with nice lighting, artworks and so on. In short, it feels like a home. Lovely garden and outdoor setup too, including a small caravan for kids to enjoy. Take the private beach path challenge out the back if you are fit and have good hill climbing and descending skills! ##### Alister S.
