Curlewis: Bay Views, Golf and Wine

Curlewis brings together views of the bay, a shell beach, and walking, golf and wine. On the Bellarine Peninsula, the town offers some of the best bay views in the district. A shell beach lies along the town’s shoreline. Both the views of the bay and the shell-strewn shore are part of the town’s character. If you’re planning a trip, you can explore Curlewis through different interests: the coast, walks, golf or wine.

Bay and Shell-Strewn Shore

The bay views and shell beach define two aspects of Curlewis’s coastal landscape. The view looks out over the bay, while the beach brings the shoreline itself into focus. If landscape and coast matter to you when choosing a destination, these are two specific features that characterise Curlewis. You can also broaden your plans to include walks, golf and wineries, rather than focusing your trip solely on the coast.

Walks and Golf

There are two specific walking routes to explore. The Griggs Creek Path runs through Curlewis, and the Griggs Creek–Gurnang Walk is also associated with the town. If you’d like to include walks in your trip plans, they offer a distinct focus alongside the bay and beach. This means you can explore Curlewis not only for its coast, but also for its walks.

The golf offerings in the area differ in focus. Curlewis Golf Club has a links-style character, with few trees, rolling fairways, challenging bunkers and large, contoured greens defining the course. The course design is therefore clearly at the forefront. The Range @ Curlewis adds to the golf offering with a driving range featuring 18 bays and an attached teaching academy. There’s also a two-storey mini golf course. The distinction is clear when choosing what to focus on: the course itself defines the golf experience at the club, while The Range @ Curlewis combines a driving range, teaching academy and mini golf.

Wine and Wineries

Wine also gives Curlewis its own distinctive character. At Curlewis Winery, Appellation brings together a cellar door with wine sales and dining. Curlewis Winery offers vineyard views from its tasting room and the Pommard and Elm gardens. Oneday Estate also offers vineyard views and is known for its small-batch, artisan wines. The two wineries offer different experiences: Curlewis Winery combines a cellar door, sales and views from its tasting room and gardens, while Oneday Estate focuses on its small-batch, artisan wines.
