A peaceful slice of paradise!

With kids

We loved our stay at Melaleuca! The cabin is basic but cosy, the view from the verandah is magnificent 👌 the cabin was assumedly 2 separate beach shacks that have been joined together via the large verandah, Melaleuca is the main cabin with one bedroom, the other beds are located off the verandah in 'Salt Bush' so it would be great even for 2 parties staying together that want separate sleeping areas. The property is situated on a dirt road that turns off the main road a few kms before you hit Venus Bay town centre which is great and makes it feel more secluded, and it is so quiet and peaceful. And with a lot of natural beauty surrounding you, the owners have obviously put a wonderful effort into creating and maintaining driving and walking tracks throughout so the vegetation is thriving 💙. Major bonus is being pet friendly, that we were able to bring our newly fur baby along was a huge plus! He loved exploring all the new smells! It was the perfect little getaway for my daughter and I and our puppy, I'm so glad I found this little hidden gem. We will definitely be back 💯
