Bells Cottage | Pet Friendly

Summary:

Welcome to Bells by the Sea - a charming two-bedroom coastal retreat just 50 metres from the beach in the heart of Torquay. Backing onto The Esplanade and within easy walking distance of the town's best shops and restaurants, this pet-friendly cottage is the ultimate family beach pad. Tucked away in a quiet private setting, you'll forget you're right in the centre of it all - until you step outside and hear the ocean.

The Neighborhood:

Bells by the Sea sits just back from The Esplanade in Torquay - Victoria's surf capital and the start of the iconic Great Ocean Road. Despite being in the heart of town, the cottage feels like a quiet hideaway. Stroll to the beach in under a minute, or head into the village for coffee, dining, and browsing the surf shops along the main strip. Bells Beach — home of the world-famous Rip Curl Pro - is just a short drive away.



Getting Around:

Everything central to Torquay is walkable from the cottage - the beach, cafés, restaurants, and shops are all at your doorstep. A car is recommended for day trips along the Great Ocean Road, with highlights like Bells Beach, Anglesea, Lorne, and the Twelve Apostles all within reach. Geelong is roughly 20 minutes away, and Melbourne CBD is about 90 minutes by car.
