‘Kanga Retreat’ is a beautiful 13 acre property and a successful holiday accommodation business located in Venus Bay. It is situated a short 8-minute drive from the town centre in the prestigious area known as the ’3rd estate’. The property is lightly a undulating, 13 acres of natural bushland and is home to kangaroos, echidnas, wombats and other local wildlife. It is less than 2 km from ocean beach No. 5 and next to the Doyle’s Road Inlet Beach and the Point Smythe State Park. Meandering tracks lead to the mouth of Anderson’s Inlet and to secluded beaches on both shores of the peninsula. The retreat offers a quiet setting hidden from surrounding neighbours. There is plenty of room for kids and adults alike to play amongst the peace and privacy. The only distractions are the song of the birds and the continuous and soothing sound of the ocean.

The property is accessed via a 200 m driveway that leads to a double storey house with double garage and an adjacent cottage. The house can accommodate up to 16 guests comfortably across 6 mixed configuration bedrooms, the largest holiday house capacity in the area.

The lower level consists of a fully equipped kitchen, a living area that opens to a covered deck with BBQ facilities, a separate dining area, a bathroom, and a laundry. The sleeping arrangement on this level consists of a queen bedroom and a 4-guests bunk bedroom.

The upper level consists of a lounge room, a family room, a dining area, a bathroom, and a second fully equipped kitchen with its own meals area that leads to a covered balcony, where views of Anderson’s Inlet can be enjoyed. The sleeping arrangement on this level consist of two queen bedrooms (the main has a walk in wardrobe and en suite), a 2-guests bunk bedroom and a 4-guests bunk bedroom.

The house has 3 split system air conditioners (one on the lower level and two on the upper level) for comfort during hot days and there is pure drinking water from a bore located on the property to supplement the existing 3 large water tanks. The tanks have a combined capacity of 52,000 litres.

The adjacent self-contained cottage is currently set aside by the owners for their own casual use. It comprises of combined open plan kitchen, living and meals area, a large bathroom with laundry, and three bedrooms (currently configured for two singles, one single and a double).

The property is being sold with the ‘Kanga Retreat’ business, its associated website (http://www.kangaretreat.com.au/), other associated social media and portal pages and forward bookings. It has been offered as comfortable holiday letting since 2008 and has enjoyed annual increases in revenue with many repeat guests and a growing positive reputation. Its main target market is families and large or small groups since it is the only holiday house with large sleeping capacity, with air conditioning and two kitchens as added points of difference.

This very easy to manage business is currently run remotely from Melbourne with assistance from local cleaners and maintenance contractors. The business turnover reached $42k in 2013/2014.

If you have ever dreamed of owning and/or running your own B&B in a beautiful country setting by the beach this could be your opportunity.
