Reviews of Barwon Heads, VIC
"The most perfect place to live"
Barwon Heads is a great place to raise a family and enjoy the beautiful leafy surroundings, pristine beaches and magnificent Barwon River. Swimming, fishing, sailing, shopping, eating out and more is all on the doorstep in Barwon Heads. A perfect place to retire but BH is also brilliant for families with children. BH location is awesome too, 25mins Geelong, 1.5hrs Melbourne and within seconds of some of the best beaches in the world. I've lived here for 10 years now and can't rate it high enough.

"Once a great town"
Poor Barwon Heads has lost its small community feel. Over the last ten years the town has changed majorly and the the local community have been kicked out by yuppies who want to make Barwon heads a suburb of Melbourne. The town has lost all important services and all the town now has to offer is expensive coffee and abundance of tacky gift stores.
