Ocean Grove – a great place for the family holiday – or just a weekend break!

Ocean Grove is less than an hour and a half drive from Melbourne. The main attraction is the surf beach which is patrolled during summer and is one of the most popular and safe in the area. You can learn to surf if you like and there is plenty of space on the beach for a game of cricket etc.
Just down the road is Barwon Heads with the well known historic bridge from 'Seachange'. Barwon Heads offers an alternative place for the kids to swim and also has a boat ramp providing access to the ocean to do some fishing! or just fish along the river or off the beach!

New attraction in the area is the scuttled Naval ship HMAS Camberra off the Ocean Grove beach (in about 30m of water). The ship is complete with much of its original equipment and forms a fantastic artificial reef providing a haven for divers and fish!!

There are two separate shopping centres in Ocean Grove to satisfy all your needs. Shops include Coles supermarkets, clothing, surf, gifts, pharmacies, bakeries, butchers, green grocers, fish 'n chips, hardware, manchester, shoes, toys, bikes, jewellers, hairdressers, newsagent, bottle shops, post office and banks. There are also dental and medical centres, fitness clubs, beauty salons, chiropractor, massage, plus real-estate and travel agents.
You are also not far from the big surf shops and factory outlets at Torquay.
Good surfing spots are in close proximity for the keen surfer including Ocean Grove main beach, K.N's, Raffs and 13th Beach.

Ocean Grove now has a great selection of coffee shops in the main street (The Terrace). Stroll along The Terrace on a Sunday morning and enjoy breakfast at Blue Fin cafe (right down the other end of the shops). Also 'Foam' is great for coffee and the 'Rolling Pin' bakery (located round the back in the Coles car park) - great pies!

There is a great choice of local restaurants including:
- historic 'Oakdene' (on Grubb Road), an early 1900's country home transformed into a top class restaurant - great food!! (take the car - 5 mins)
- 'The Bark Hut' restaurant is also very good and popular - walk to this one! Note: bookings are essential for both these two restaurants
- good for a relaxing meal is The Heads Restaurant at Barwon Heads pier! Great views!
- the Barwon Heads pub is great for a pub meal!
- Madeley Street Pizza (includes gluten free) is the best around
- there is a good selection of other places including fish and chips, Thai, etc
- try The Dunes at the main surf beach with views to Barwon Heads Bluff and the Point Lonsdale lighthouse; watch the ships go through to Port Phillip Bay. They serve meals from hearty breakfasts to delicious lunches and dinners.

Most of these places are an easy walk from The White House

Local attractions ensure there is lots to do for the family!

. 13th Beach (Nick Faldo design)
. Barwon Heads
. Queenscliff - on Swan Island
. Point Lonsdale

  • "Having decided to have a holiday with the whole family, grandparents, grandhildren - the lot, we needed a big space. The White House was perfect, even catered for the family table tennis tournament! With the living space and board games provided a couple of rainy days were no problem. Proximity to the beach and wetlands meant walks with toddlers were great fun. We really enjoyed our week and look forward to the possibility of returning. "

A really short stroll to the beach and close to the shops and groceries. Perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Thanks for letting us stay! We'll be sure to return."

The house is fantastic for large groups, always clean, well positioned, well appointed, and great views to boot.
