It combines living simplicity with environmentally sustainable features - 13500 litres of rainwater with mains back-up, recycled or renewable timber throughout, double glazing, gas fireplace and energy efficient appliances.

Fish off the bridge as the tide changes, swim in the river or ocean beaches, dine in restaurants from the slightly eccentric 'Barwon Orange' to the upmarket 'At the Heads' set between the bridge and the bluff, play a round of golf at either of two renowned golf courses only minutes away or just enjoy the shops and community feel.
