Curlewis: Bay Views, Paths, Golf and Wine

Curlewis combines bay views and a shell beach with connections to paths, golf, and wine. When choosing a destination for your stay, these differences can help you match the area to your interests: the shoreline landscape offers a different focus from paths through or associated with Curlewis, a golf course with a links-style character, or vineyard views. There are also a driving range, mini golf, and wineries, each with its own features. This gives you several specific ways to explore Curlewis.

Bay, Shoreline and Paths

Curlewis offers some of the best views of the bay in the Bellarine Peninsula district. A shell beach is located along the shoreline in the area. The bay view and the beach offer two different landscape connections: one looks out over the bay, while the other focuses on the shoreline. The paths also have more than one connection to the area. The Griggs Creek Path runs through Curlewis; the Griggs Creek–Gurnang Walk is also associated with the area. This is a useful distinction for planning your trip: you can consider the shoreline landscape and the paths as different aspects of the destination.

Golf Course, Driving Range and Mini Golf

Curlewis Golf Club has a links-style character. Few trees, undulating fairways, challenging bunkers, and large, contoured greens define the course. The Range @ Curlewis has a different focus: the driving range has 18 hitting bays and an attached teaching academy; it also has a two-storey mini golf course. So your choice depends on what kind of golf experience you’re looking for: the course design at the club, or the combination of hitting bays, a teaching academy, and mini golf at The Range.

A Park as a Distinct Local Feature

Centennial Boulevard Park in Curlewis has swings and an open green space. This adds a different local feature alongside the paths and golf. If a park with these features influences your choice of destination, it offers a specific point of reference. The open space and swings serve a different purpose from course design or hitting facilities, making the park a distinct open-space feature in Curlewis.

Vineyard Views and Wineries

Vineyard views offer a different landscape connection from the bay and shoreline. At Curlewis Winery, Appellation is a cellar door with wine sales and food service. Curlewis Winery offers views of the vineyards from its tasting room and the Pommard and Elm gardens. Oneday Estate also offers vineyard views and is known for its handcrafted wines made in small batches. This provides a specific point of difference when comparing the two winery experiences: Curlewis Winery combines wine sales and food service with named viewpoints, while Oneday Estate pairs vineyard views with handcrafted small-batch wines.
