Why visit Bonnie's at Barwon Heads?
Surrounded by native birdlife and beautiful eucalypts, sit out on your large private north facing deck and catch the sea breezes The eucalypts at Bonnie's are quite rare. They are indigenous to the area and there are very few of this particular species left. They are eucalyptus leucoxylon sp. Bellarernsis How wonderful to enjoy these trees For those who would rather be gastronomically tempted by an array of amazing restaurants, bars and other eateries, they are just a few minutes walk away. Specialist delis including the superb Annie's are just around the corner. If you're into a bit of retail therapy there are many boutiques and homewares stores to satisfy your taste. Barwon Heads is located on the Bellarine Peninsula and is a short drive to Ocean Grove, Point Lonsdale and 45 minutes to the ferry at Queenscliff, where you can ride over to Sorrento. The Bellarine peninsula is one of the most popular destinations on the Victorian foodie trail with so many wonderful options available for all tastes and budgets. The area has many highly acclaimed restaurants and more than 25 wineries. The peninsula also plays host to many music and food festivals along with numerous sporting events. The Great Ocean Road, Lorne and the beautiful Erskine Falls are only a short drive away or visit the world famous Bells Beach in just 25 minutes. Barwon Heads is also known for two world-class golf courses. The Bluff lookout, walks and bike trails are all a must and the Jirrahlinga Koala and Wildlife Sanctuary is only five minutes away. Bonnie's at Barwon is the perfect house to base yourself whilst you venture out and explore this beautiful region returning home to unwind and relax. Just a 75 minute freeway drive to Melbourne means an easy commute to work if needed, leaving the family to enjoy their seaside home during the holidays. Swim in the wide and picturesque river estuary or along the sandy river foreshore at the river mouth. Cast a line for a spot of fishing or, for more heart-racing adventure, head to the Bluff at Thirteenth Beach for some lively surfing action.

We had a lovely time at Bonnie’s with our two adult children and their partners. The house is very comfortable and we all felt right at home. We would definitely stay again.
We have stayed before and we will keep coming back. It has everything the 5 of us could need. Always clean and it is lovely and bright, and very well stocked.

Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend getaway for birthday celebrations. The house is beautifully presented and luxurious in its use of amenities.

Air conditioning is a must on a hot summer, that's why the living areas and all bedrooms have individual units, to keep everyone cool 24 hours a day. Glad you kept cool Justin. We welcome you back soon
The place was so clean and well set out. We were comfortable with the place as soon as we walked in. Great spot close walk to main strip of shops. Definitely will stay at Bonnies at Barwon next time we are there. Highly recommend.

A delightful & very well equipped town house, loads of space and storage. The kitchen is modern, light and has all that is required for a relaxing time. The furnishings and bedding are very comfortable. The beach and cafes are just a walk away and we (6 adults) enjoyed the outside setting and secluded garden.
