Diverse and beautiful in your own backyard

The Bellarine Peninsula, Geelong, and the Surf Coast deliver a unique location that has a rich tapestry of history, culture, and natural beauty. You can jump from quaint historic villages to exquisite wine country and on to flawless surf beaches.

Geelong has transitioned into a trendy city with a beautiful waterfront, sea baths & boardwalk, an arts precinct, live music, and a wide variety of bars, restaurants and cafes. Geelong is home to the iconic dining experience - IGNI, which is attracting foodies from Melbourne and around the State.

There are many villages and coastal towns of the Bellarine Peninsula, including Barwon Heads, Ocean Grove, Portarlington, Pt Lonsdale and Queenscliff.

Surf beaches and protected bay beaches dot the coastline while wineries, distilleries, farmgates and providores are dotted throughout the countryside.

So, your next holiday requires a quick drive from home, a bay sail, and just one day. Sail to your next daycation!
