Breathe the fresh salty air, relax and make yourself at home.
Nestled in the heart of the Bellarine wine region, this modern light filled retreat imbues a sense of relaxed unstuffy luxury. Think sandy feet, long sleep-ins, boats bobbing on the bay, ships passing by, magnificent storms sweeping up the bay, sea birds whirling overhead, lazing by the pool with a great book and a cocktail. Its the perfect haven for couples, families or friends seeking a peaceful and stylish getaway with all you could wish for.
Overlooking picturesque Corio Bay, Shoreline@Curlewis is just steps to Curlewis Beach and 2 childrens' parks, and a short walk to the local fishing jetty and boat launch, golf course, tennis courts, and shopping centre.
This pet-friendly property boasts a beautiful heated in-ground pool and expansive indoor and outdoor entertainment spaces.
We love hosting people from near and far and everyone of any background or community is warmly welcomed here.

Other things to note
The ground floor of this two-story home is fully accessible to people with mobility limitations (a ramp to access the outdoor deck, and so the home, is available on request). However, the 1st floor can only be accessed by climbing a flight of stairs (indoors or outdoors). Three of the bedrooms, two bathrooms, a lounge room and the outdoor kitchen, pool and an outdoor dining setting are all located downstairs.
The house is solar powered and all windows and glazed doors are double glazed to optimize energy efficiency. We try to walk lightly on the earth
The home is fitted with a security alarm system and so there are three movement sensors (the small boxes near the ceiling) in the home. These do not take images at all, they purely detect movement within the home when the alarm is activated. The alarm is not activated during guest visits.
There is a front door intercom camera system that connects to the upstairs consol near the air-conditioning control area between the kitchen and study nook. Again this does not record anything- it functions like a front door peephole does. It is just so people in the home upstairs can check who is ringing the doorbell.
