Reviews of Bannockburn, VIC
"Stress Free Living"
Bannockburn is a quiet and laid back place to live, with plenty of amenities and wide open space. There are both primary schools and a secondary college. A new Shopping Centre has been developed with further extension in the future, lovely places to eat and choose from as well. It has a great vibe and is only growing in popularity. There is plenty to do including sporting clubs, community groups and the like. There are craft markets and a farmer’s market as well. The best place to bring up the family whether on some land or a suburban house block, this place has it all!! ….including a very cool kid’s waterpark in the main street!!😊
"Farmers Markets and wineries!"
The Golden Plains Farmers market is a great thing to do in Bannockburn, there are also great wineries around the area, plus the bushland reserve!
Great houses in the area also.

"Growing Town with Excellent Facilities"
One of the real up and coming towns in Victoria. Ideally situated, 20 minutes from Geelong, 35 minutes from Torquay, 45 minutes from Ballarat and 65 minutes from Melbourne.
The township has all the facilities you could ask for, including Bank, Chemist, Petrol, full-sized Safeway, Pub, Doctors, Dentists, Schools, Sports Centres, Ovals etc.
There is a lot of growth going on around the town, and the town will only grow better and prosper more over time.

Looking forward to moving to Bannockburn - semi rural with everything you could need close at hand or not too far away. Hope there is lots of bird life so I can hear birds singing in the morning.
Are there good Primary and Secondary schools around Bannockburn?
