Local Area

Torquay is a popular holiday destination for Victorians, known for its picturesque beaches with wide grassy foreshores and large shady trees lining the coast. Scenic walking tracks extend throughout the town's foreshore, offering breathtaking views from Yellow Bluff and Point Danger, where an Anzac Memorial overlooks the ocean from atop the headland.

The main commercial centre of Torquay spans Pearl Street and Gilbert Street, merging seamlessly with the coastal boulevard of The Esplanade. Additional shops, cafes, restaurants, and the town's historic hotel can be found on Bell Street, opposite a large camping and caravan ground near Point Danger.

Torquay is synonymous with the surfing industry, boasting numerous manufacturers and retailers of surfing related goods along its main highway. Surf City Plaza is a notable hub, also home to the Australian National Surfing Museum, the world's largest surfing and beach culture museum.

A few kilometers southwest of Torquay sits Bells Beach, renowned for hosting the Rip Curl Pro Surfing Classic, an annual event that attracts competitors from around the world.

A true home from home

We absolutely loved our home away from home! The layout of the house was perfect, and it had everything we needed to feel comfortabl, we only had to bring our clothes. The outside area is every family’s dream, with plenty of space to relax and enjoy. The kids were entertained the entire time, thanks to all the thoughtful facilities and the amazing pool. Little gestures like leaving the cot out with a sound machine made such a difference and showed how much care went into ensuring we had a great stay. This was the relaxing break we truly needed, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the perfect family getaway!”
