Getting away from it all can mean a lot of things to travelers. When it comes to those who have Australia on their minds, it is as far away as you can get. Following in that vein, the seaside town of Barwon Heads is one place that is steadily drawing tourists who want a scenic and far-off getaway. The town is close to Geelong in the province of Victoria on the Bellarine Peninsula. It’s grown from a thinly populated fishing town first established in the 1800s to become a popular holiday destination as well as the locale for one of the more beloved television series in Australia. Barwon Heads gives folks a good amount of enjoyment from golfing to surfing among other activities. For those aiming to visit, here’s a selection of the best Stayz accommodations to book during a visit to Barwon Heads, Australia.
