Chairs are kept in the laundry. As the sun shines in here it can be a lovely place to sit on a fine day.
Walks
The Anglesea beach, or the beach at Pt Roadknight, (a good beach for children) can be reached after an enjoyable downhill walk (not so good coming back!). The Angahook State Forest is accessible via a short walk up Harvey St. A few shops can be reached by foot, but the major shopping centre is a short drive back towards Geelong.
Some destinations worth visiting

• Point Addis: (5-10 minutes) has a magnificent view of the ocean. Turn off is located between T Torquay and Anglesea.

• Split point lighthouse Aireys Inlet: This is around a 10 minute drive beyond Anglesea on the Great Ocean Rd. Tours of the lighthouse can be arranged. There are also some good walks around the beach areas there.

• Lorne: 25-30 minutes along Great ocean Rd. A great place to visit and enjoy on a fine day—beautiful beach.

• Torquay: 15 minutes from Anglesea.

• Geelong: It is 25 minutes to the Southern end of Geelong, about 35 minutes to the City centre. It is well worth visiting Eastern Beach and the Botanical Gardens. For shoppers there is Westfield (Geelong City), Waurn Ponds and strip shops/KMart in Belmont.

• Bellarine Peninsula: Some places well worth visiting here such as Barwon Heads and Queenscliff.

Other information: There are other interesting bits of information that you will find in a folder that we have left in the house.

Anglesea retreat
This was our third stay at this property, and we have already booked another. The location of the house is perfect for a quick walk to Anglesea main beach or a scenic walk to Point Roadknight. It had everything we needed for a relaxing break from cooking equipment to books and board games. We can't wait to go back

Great place, good value
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Property was set on a large block which the kids were able to run around and explore. Place was kid friendly with lots of games and DVD's to use during their stay. Check in/out process was well communicated. Thanks to Tracey.

Delightful, practical, clean, tidy beautiful beach house!
The Ware's Retreat house was firstly very easy to find. It was absolutely fabulous for us. It was practical, comfortable, extremely clean and tidy on a very quiet block. It is especially close to the picturesque Point Roadknight Beach. Tracey communicated with us straight away when it was necessary. It was perfect for our beach holiday! Thanks Tracey and David very very very much!
