BLAIRGOWRIE SORRENTO

From its history-steeped streets to its holiday shacks and grand residences, the southern tip of the Peninsula is where seasonal partygoers go to kick back and relax. Here, life between the back beaches and Port Phillip is sophisticated with a coastal/city chic atmosphere. Freedom is the order of the day, whether on the sandy shores of the bay looking out over the azure sea or wandering the rugged coastal ridges and rock pools of Bass Strait. Provedores and paddock-to-plate pioneers celebrate the region’s produce throughout the seasons here, with a dedication to offering excellence as the ferry makes its journey from Sorrento to Queenscliff. Moored yachts sway throughout the day as their white sails swing to the pulse of the breeze before travelling over the water with excited adventurers on board. The sky appears to go on for ever. Blairgowrie, Sorrento and Portsea are renowned for magnificent real estate, delicious wining and dining, and historical significance, but these magical places are much more than this. These gorgeous villages and the terrain that surrounds them are where Mother Nature takes centre stage and deserves to take a bow. Visitors come in droves over the summer holidays with their surfboards and paddleboards as children play with sunscreen lathered on their skin, and there’s always room for an ice-cream or scrumptious sweet treat as the sun goes down over undulating briny streets. Come visit the land of decadent dining and magnificent wining while watching the dolphins play. Come beachcomb, roam, escape and stay.
