Rye, VIC 3941

Between a surf-lover's ocean and a blue water bay with a north-facing beach that is as safe as any in the world. Cafes and ice-cream shops line the main street. A playground sits in the foreshore along with enough space to play soccer or host a mass barbecue for hundreds plus a carnival. The roads drift back into hills with incredible views. Quiet in the shoulder months enough for quiet introspection whether you're a writer, a painter, a beachcomber or just want to walk your dog in solitude. Vibrant in summer when the beaches come alive with colour. Always somewhere to stay; there's no lack of motel, B&B, private houses to rent or camping ground accommodation. Four op-shops (count them) for cheap and cheerful supplies of everything the holidaymaker or permanent resident could glean for next to nothing. Did I mention the locals are friendly?

All that and the property prices are just about the lowest within an hour of Melbourne.

Perfect place to holiday or retire. I have found that a lot of our family friends have gone there to retire. they sold the homes in the suburbs and packed their bags. Perfect beach. people are all so nice and welcoming. I love the shops specially over Summer. There are a few nice restaurants and lots to do with the kids

And not to mention the surf can be unreal! I lived/worked here for a while and absolutely loved it! the only thing I couldnt rave about was the cold weather and a little lack of nightlife, but if you like Victoria and the weather but also enjoy peace & quiet THIS is the place for you! The realestate here is also very good value!
