Barwon Heads is a delightful coastal village located at the mouth of the Barwon River, 22 kilometres south-east of Geelong, and just across the river from its twin beachside town, Ocean Grove. Both are extremely popular coastal resorts offering beautiful beach holiday rentals, magnificent surf beaches on the doorstep of Bass Strait, safe family-friendly beaches along the river, unlimited sporting choices, and bustling town centres with every shopping and dining option you need.

A short car trip will deliver you to some of Victoria’s finest wineries and craft breweries, outstanding regional restaurants, the urban delights of Geelong, and the popular surfcoast towns of Queenscliff, Point Lonsdale, Torquay, Anglesea and Lorne – and, of course, the iconic Great Ocean Road.

Among the major annual festivals and events in the area are the Victorian Open Golf Championship at 13th Beach, the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race, the Queenscliff Music Festival, Geelong’s Toast To The Coast festival, the Rip To River fun run, and Barwon Heads’ Festival Of The Sea. So a Getaway Rental property can provide you with the ideal home base from which you can explore any number of these events.

Great for families
Great space for families with a beautiful front lounge room, a great kid-friendly rear living area, many beds and two great private and enclosed spaces in the front and back yard, one with a nice firepit. Both yard spaces safe for young kids as they can be closed off with gates. The Veuve in the kitchen is a sight to behold! We had some minor cleanliness issues that I think may just have been missed and will be fixed for the next guests. We also found that the high chair in the listing wasn't there, but on enquiring Marisa had one delivered to us in under an hour on Christmas Eve no less! Amazing service. A note that we didn't quite find the room configuration as we expected, but we may have misread the listing. For clarity, there are two queen beds, two pairs of single bunk beds, a single bed and a fold out couch. Overall a great place for our two young families, would stay again.

Fantastic family stay
Fantastic house for families (and multiple families) to stay together. Great space, inside and out, for kids to play. The gated driveway ensures you always know they are safe. Plenty of room for grown ups to relax and socialise when the kids are napping/sleeping. Everything was easy and made for a great long weekend.

Great location to enjoy with family and fur family
This humble abode met all our needs as a family of 7. It was comfortable and location was in a lovely spot. It helped having the two bathrooms and had plenty of space for our fur baby to play. We were also able to have our cars and motobikes secured behind gates. Bowan Heads itself is a beautiful place to explore and we would definitely come back again.

Great for a Barwon Heads stay with a pet.
The property was ideal for the size of our group and our large but gentle dog. Marisa was communicative and accommodating with arranging linen at short notice and also in allowing us a late check out which we appreciated. All the facilities that we needed were present in the house.

Great place to stay with a group and would easily stay here again.
Need to be aware no complimentary toiletries provided so pack your soap. Also doonas are more summer weight ones. Fire pit was well used. Great place if you’ve packed for it. Will easily go back again.

Good location, basic supplies
Veuve Cottage is in a great location in Barwon Heads but could be improved by providing a few more basic supplies in the kitchen and bathrooms so you don't have to go to the IGA to buy soap, sugar and coffee for your weeks stay. Other than that we had a lovely time.

Relaxed, chilled and peaceful
This is the 4th time that we have stayed at Veuve and so in itself that should be a solid recommendation to others. This is a non pretentious, comfortable, very functional holiday home (not really a holiday shack, but has the same chilled vibe that a shack would). Good location away from the hustle of the main street, secure fencing with lots of off street parking space, and a well stocked kitchen. We stay each year with 2 children and 2 dogs and are invariable joined by grandparents for a few days too. 3 generations under one roof very comfortably, with ample space to come together and unwind in one of my favourite areas in Australia. Highly recommended for a relaxed family holiday.

Excellent Holiday Home
Thank you so much Kristiana, your home was fantastic. It had everything we needed and more! It was exceptionally clean and the beds very comfortable. The two living spaces were great, with the kids loving the Wii and Netflix whilst the adults could relax in the other lounge area. We spent a lot of time in the great outdoor space having BBQ’s and cooking marshmallows on the fire. The tennis courts where also a hit directly opposite. Our dog loved the park across the road for her morning walk and we enjoyed the quick stroll into Barwon Heads for our coffee. Such a great location. We will definitely be back!
