About this property
Surfers Shack - a surfer's paradise
Surfers Shack is situated in Jan Juc on the 'golden mile' of Victorian surfing, starting at some of the best reef breaks around to the mecca of surfing that is Bells Beach. The Surfers Shack is in the shopping hamlet of Jan Juc, the closest shopping precinct to Bells Beach. All these spots can be reached within a short drive or simply walking across the road to the Jan Juc cliffs which are renowned for their magnificent formations and walking/riding track that enable spectacular views along the miles of trails. The walls of the property are adorned with surfing memorabilia from past eras to the present time.
Jan Juc is nestled between Torquay and Bells Beach and is only 16km from Anglesea. The scenery surrounding this area apart from some of Australia's best surfing beaches, includes spectacular cliffs, rock formations, trails and picturesque terrain.
