Winter on the Ocean Beach

"You're beautiful when you're angry",
throw on your warmest coat and scarfe,
take a walk on the wild side,
when the ocean's boiling and the wind is howling

....with the reward of a hot coffee or favourite wine
back in front of the log fire at Village Park Cottages....
....or at one of our quirky cafes

Arty Facts

....craft shops, photo and art outlets, gallery,
....all in a town inhabited by artists, writers, actors, artisans, etc....
....we don't know why but who's complaining....

Food-i-fact

"Barwon Heads has the best, most interesting set of cafes, restaurants and food outlets in the entire area"
- quote: David Littleton, food expert (also prop. of Seahaven Village)

And it just keeps getting better. We're told there are 14 places in town to get a cappucino!!

And our restaurants and gourmet food outlets keep getting better e.g. Pppercorn Foods with an ever increasing range of new gourmet lines, Annie's Provedore with excellent prepared foods to take home and Starfish with yummy things for breakfast and lunch - these places are exceptional!!
