WOODLANDS RETREAT - stylish and unique, per friendly!

You will have everything you could need for a short stay or extended visit with a full kitchen, laundry facilities and a sun-soaked verandah for endless hours of relaxation.
All this is only moments from the vibrant centre of town while beaches, restaurants, cafes and amenities are all at your fingertips. You can get out and explore the picturesque Bellarine Peninsula and the Barwon River or stay home with a good book and cuddle up in front of the fire!

A hidden gem
We loved our stay at Woodlands Retreat. This villa has everything you need for a wonderful getaway. A well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, heating/air conditioning, a great aspect from every room and creative decor. It was an easy drive to the beach or you can opt to walk if you're energetic. Helen was great to deal with and responded promptly to our queries. We would love to return, perhaps for a little longer next time.

Best of both beach & bush stay
Lovely & peaceful pet friendly holiday stay. Woodlands retreat has nearly everything you need for a get away. While you do need to drive to the beach you have many choices, Ocean Grove, Pt Lonsdale, Queenscliff were the ones we spent our time. We highly recommend Woodlands Retreat.
