What to do during your stay:

Snuggle up on the couch, read a book, play a board game or enjoy Netflix on the 55” flat-screen TV.

Explore local markets, parklands, bike trails, beaches and art galleries or play a round of golf at one of several nearby golf courses.

The Bellarine Peninsula is also a foodie and wine heaven. Enjoy local produce from makers and growers at almost 50 food and wine destinations throughout the peninsula.

Take a short stroll along the creek takes you to the beach (10 minutes). Watch out for native bird life: magpies, ravens, ibis, ducks, Rainbow lorikeet, black cockatoos, corellas.
A short drive takes you to the beautiful beaches of Ocean Grove, Queenscliff and 13th Beach.

The hosts were friendly, accommodating and hospitable. The amenities and accommodation were fantastic. My doggies were spoilt with their own backyard area as well as an insulated kennel and even beds to use outside. The hosts provided fantastic information and resources on amazing local locations to visit as well as friendly off lead dog beaches/parks. The hosts treated us like family. You won't be disappointed!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Bill and I are semi-retired and moved from Melbourne more than two years ago. We’ve travelled around the world and as we settle into retirement we chose to build in the Bellarine as we’ve always enjoyed our trips to this area and love the relaxed lifestyle. The Bellarine has a wonderful mix of coastal and country-style living. We enjoy walking our dogs every day along the creek to the local beach or taking a trip to one of several ocean beaches nearby. We also love the fact that there are more than half a dozen unique “villages” within a short drive and the area is dotted with great wineries, places to eat and fun places to visit.

Why they chose this property

Our property is new with a purpose-built studio-style guest space. It’s close to all that the Bellarine has to offer with a great view of the water down the street.

What makes this property unique

Pet friendly with fully enclosed pet courtyard and doggie sandpit. Close to walks, beaches, shops, wineries.
