Everything Barwon Heads - Family or Friends

AnnieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had a lovely stay! Loved the easter treats when we arrived and the house was really well stocked with more than we expected - such as icypoles and icecream for the kids. The instruction manual left no stones unturned and Brent was super responsive when we had a couple of questions. The kids loved using the wagon and playing table tennis - our few days away were relaxing and we'll be back to Barwon Heads for sure. Thank you!

Hitchcock Haven Apartment

SimoneRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Fabulous place! We had an amazing time and it's probably the best-equipped Airbnb we've ever stayed at. The attention to detail is impressive, with everything thoughtfully provided, from the cozy bedding to the well-stocked kitchen. The host truly goes above and beyond to make guests feel at home. The location was perfect too—close to town and beach but still peaceful and private. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and will definitely be back

A couples retreat with cosy wood fire

JustineRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful home. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how impeccably clean and well-presented everything was. Every detail has been carefully thought through, from the amenities to the lovely little touches around the home that made our stay extra special. It was the perfect winter escape for our family, cosying up by the fireplace was a highlight. The communication with Sarah was seamless, friendly and responsive. We’re already dreaming about another visit in summer so we can make the most of the pool and outdoor areas. Couldn’t recommend this place more highly, an absolute gem!

Your guide to Barwon Heads

All About Barwon Heads

Surrounded by gorgeous natural features, the seaside town of Barwon Heads nestles into the south coast of the Bellarine Peninsula in southern Victoria. The eastern edge of this fishing village turned vacation community is the shallow sandy Barwon River, which snakes north toward Lake Connewarre. The brackish wetlands of Murtnaghurt Lagoon sit to the west, while the southern border runs along the windy shoreline of Thirteenth Beach, just below the rocky headlands from which the town takes its name. Across the gentle Barwon River is its twin, the community of Ocean Grove. Visitors flock to Barwon Heads for its renowned golfing and views, as well as the extensive network of walking trails along the various bodies of water.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Barwon Heads

Most of the draw for visitors to Barwon Heads comes from summer activities — beaches, surf, sand, and golf — which happens to be when the coastal climate sees its best weather. January and February bring only a few days with rain, while late fall, winter, and even early spring see close to three weeks’ worth of rainy days — so you’ll need to bring your rain gear. The moderate summer temperatures top out with average highs around the mid-70 degrees Fahrenheit and lows above 60 degrees in the evenings. Winter cools down just a touch, with lows in the mid-40s and highs in the mid-to-high 50s.


Top things to do in Barwon Heads

Thirteenth Beach

This renowned surf beach to the west of town takes its name from a different popular sport nearby: it sits right near the thirteenth hole of the local golf course. Along the long stretch of sand, the waves that roll in work well for all types of surfers, while the wide beach hosts walkers, sunbathers, and sand-castle builders.

Barwon Bluff Marine Sanctuary

At the intersection of the Barwon River and the Bass Strait, 42 acres of protected reef are home to a wide variety of marine life. You can explore via snorkel and scuba diving, or look down into the sanctuary from the bluff and explore the tide pools on the shore.

Golfing

Golfers will enjoy access to topnotch courses in Barwon Heads, where some tees offer spectacular views of the Barwon Coast. Regardless of what course you choose to play, all of the local greens offer stunning natural scenery scented by sea breezes.
