About this property

Bellarine getaway close to the beach, deck, BBQ, WiFi. Pet friendly

  • This large studio-style space was purpose-built with the comfort and convenience of our guests in mind. Super comfy Queen-sized bed with electric blanket, 2-seater couch, dining table, kitchenette, luxurious ensuite with generous soaking tub, private deck with BBQ, smart TV (55”), free high-speed internet and Netflix. Air-conditioned with ceiling fan. We’re also pet friendly with fully enclosed pet courtyard including doggie sandpit.

    Ideal for a weekend getaway or flexcation, we’re close to the beach (10 minutes walk) and local shops (7 minutes walk) and an ideal location to enjoy all that the Bellarine Peninsula offers.

    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.

    After a full day exploring, relax in the huge soaking tub or enjoy a cuppa or a glass of wine on your private deck.

    The kitchenette is equipped with mini fridge, microwave, toaster, crockery and cutlery and basic cooking utensils, as well as a variety of teas, coffee and hot chocolate.

    The accommodation has dead bolts on each door for your security. We don’t use the front entrance when we have guests - that is your private entrance. You also have a private entrance via the guest deck.

The accommodation was gorgeous and perfect for our needs, i.e., travelling with a dog. Very thoughtful provisions and facilities were supplied for both humans and dogs. The accommodation was very comfortable, clean and relaxing. Helpful guidance and instructions were also provided which helped us explore the local area. We wish we could've stayed longer

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!

Beautiful property, quiet area. We were only dropping in on our way through down to Tassie but after a full day of driving it was a nice destination to get too to relax. The extra touches with the doggy beds were a great touch.

Great place for a getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at this appartment in Curlewis. It was well located with great walking tracks and easy access to the beach. It was a clean and very comfortable place to stay and had everything we needed. Access was easy and our hosts were helpful but very mindful of privacy. Our dog was also very happy here. Lovely place.

Excellent property

Very well presented, spotlessly clean with all amenities as described in the posting. Clearly pet friendly so don’t miss the chance to give your fur baby a break. We chose the place being close to Geelong so we could attend a Golden Retriever gathering at Geelong Showgrounds and it was a great way to spend a weekend.

Beautiful accommodation. Every little need is thoughtfully met from the variety of milk & non dairy milk options in the fridge, a large hammock bed and soft futon for our dog and quality products throughout. We loved being able to let our dog off her lead outside knowing the yard was safely enclosed. Super clean, super comfortable, private and quiet.
