Only 2 hours from central Melbourne, this unique retreat is an ideal weekend getaway for couples or small groups seeking a restful, rejuvenating break. Hidden away from suburban areas, you can enjoy the tranquillity, beauty and privacy of the bushland setting from the comfort of Correa Cabin, the only visitor accommodation cabin at the retreat. Leave the car safely parked and walk or cycle, meet the local wildlife, or lay in the hammock and relax.

Venus Bay Eco Retreat is a great base for exploring the South Gippsland region throughout the year and escaping the holiday crowds.
