The town of Barwon Heads is a small, funky (in a good way) town right at the river head and very close to some amazing surfing beaches. It's a perfect place to base your explorations of the Bellarine peninsula or to begin that adventure along the Great Ocean Road. There are multiple eateries and shops to fill your off time, including a great bakery that begins serving coffee at 6:30am, some awesome provedores (Annie's was our favorite), and an authentic tex-mex restaurant run by a native Texan (be sure to try the fish tacos!)

Kim's house is just around the corner from the town's main street, restaurants and shopping on a quiet side street. The space she has available on AirBnB is a cozy room and detached kitchenette, bathroom and shower connected by a four steps beneath a vine-woven trellis. She maintains her home office in an additional attached space on the other side of the kitchenette. Kim's backyard garden is beautiful with lots of fresh herbs and fruit trees. It was great for a little bit of zen away from our travels.

As a host, Kim was absolutely great. She has traveled the world many times, a fact which is evidenced by the numerous travel books spilling out from the bookcase in our guest room. She keeps to herself and her work most of the day and is very willing to share her local knowledge any time you need it. It was an absolute pleasure to stay with Kim. Our experience was so relaxing and the location can't be beat. We highly recommend booking with Kim!
