Nuestra casa

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio

My little home is a classic early 60's Modern in leafy old Highton, within walking distance of the most picturesque stretch of the Barwon River on one side and the locally renowned Highton Village cafes and shops on the other. Montpellier lookout, with sweeping 180 degree views across Geelong, Corio Bay and down the coast, is a 5 minute walk up the hill behind us. This is a cosy, comfortable small home where you can tuck up with a book from the extensive collection in our lounge room or sit on the front porch and listen to the hundreds of birds that inhabit this well-established area. If you like music, enjoy playing our piano, guitars or the professional drum set. You will have the whole house to enjoy. There are 3 bedrooms, a single bathroom with a separate toilet, reverse cycle air conditioning and ducted heating. From our location, if you are game, you can bike ride the 35km Bellarine Rail Trail all the way to the entrance of Port Phillip Bay. Alternatively, take the steam train! Help yourself to vegetables and herbs from our garden or make use of our commuter bikes.

Barrio

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra

Our little community is friendly and ready to help out, as our street is a great mix of young and older families, some having lived here their whole lives. People will smile and say hello when you pass them out walking, but there is also plenty of privacy. The bus into town stops right outside our house, or you can drive the 6 kms to Geelong's waterfront area, where you will find shopping malls, restaurants, galleries and even fabulous local breweries, such as Little Creatures and White Rabbit. There are also plenty of wineries nearby. It is an easy 20 minute drive to all the best beaches on the world-renowned Surf Coast, such as Bells, Jan Juc and Torquay, or explore the little seaside towns of Queenscliff, Point Lonsdale or Portarlington on the Bellarine Peninsula. The Great Ocean Road is 30 minutes drive, with many more spectacular beaches, coastal towns and the unique environments of the South West Coast. If your interest is wildlife, there are significant wetlands nearby. I moved here in 2014 for my work, and I love the fact that everything you need is within a 10 minute drive. Melbourne is an hour away by car, train or boat, and Avalon airport is 20 minutes drive.

Atractivos

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa

There are delicious cafes, fresh local produce (green grocery and butcher) supermarkets, takeaway food and boutique shops within walking distance from our house. Coffee and breakfast is big in Geelong! We love almond croissants and biscotti from the award-winning Pane De Matteo Italian artisan bakery, but there are so many options. There are also interesting 'Makers' areas along the river, including the Fyansford Paper Mills at one end and Rutland street Boom Gallery at the other, connected by the river walk. In the centre of this area is the Balyang Sanctuary, a nice picnic spot very close by. There are so many interesting things to do nearby beyond the major tourist attractions and we are happy to help you out to suit your interests.
