What's nearby?

	Ocean Grove is on the Bellarine Peninsula, about one and a half hour's drive from Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, Australia. It is twenty minutes drive from the regional city, Geelong, and can also be reached by train, bus and ferry.
	It's situated at the gateway to the Great Ocean Road, one of the scenic drives of the world. Point Lonsdale, Lorne, the "Twelve Apostles" are all within striking distance.
	Ocean Grove has one of Victoria's best known "Surf Coast" beaches. Bells Beach, Anglesea, Thirteenth Beach, Jan Juc and Torquay, the home of "Rip Curl", are nearby.
	And a short walk from the motel, across the lovely Barwon River, is our "sister" town, Barwon Heads. The river provides great recreational fishing and it connects to Lake Connewarre (aboriginal for "the home of the swan"), a haven for sailing, windsurfing and birdwatching .
	Immediately opposite the motel is the Ocean Grove Golf Course. There are at least 16 golf courses on the Peninsula and along the Great Ocean Road, including the famous Anglesea Golf Course.
