Ocean Shores Barwon Heads
Summary: Handy Hitchcock Avenue location if you’re looking for spotless, comfortable accommodation in the heart of Barwon Heads. Ocean Shores is very central and well presented and offers easy accommodation for up to six people. With all the expected amenities provided for a totally relaxed getaway, you’re literally within walking distance of all that Barwon Heads has to offer – shops, restaurants, river, beaches and all sorts of sporting opportunities.
The Space: There is a master bedroom with Queen bed, and second bedroom offers double bed with two singles. There is one bathroom and full linen service is provided with this rental.
Guest Access: The entire townhouse is available to guests. Garage is locked and not accessible. There is one locked cupboard also not accessible to guests.
The Neighborhood: Barwon Heads is a delightful coastal village located at the mouth of the Barwon River, 22 kilometres south-east of Geelong, and just across the river from its twin beachside town, Ocean Grove. Both are extremely popular coastal resorts offering beautiful beach holiday rentals, magnificent surf beaches on the doorstep of Bass Strait, safe family-friendly beaches along the river, unlimited sporting choices, and bustling town centres with every shopping and dining option you need.
A short car trip will deliver you to some of Victoria’s finest wineries and craft breweries, outstanding regional restaurants, the urban delights of Geelong, and the popular surfcoast towns of Queenscliff, Point Lonsdale, Torquay, Anglesea and Lorne – and, of course, the iconic Great Ocean Road.
Among the major annual festivals and events in the area are the Victorian Open Golf Championship at 13th Beach, the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race, the Queenscliff Music Festival, Geelong’s Toast To The Coast festival, the Rip To River fun run, and Barwon Heads’ Festival Of The Sea. So a Getaway Rental property can provide you with the ideal home base from which you can explore any number of these events.
