Reviews of Drysdale, VIC
"Drysdale offers a strong sense of community"
Drysdale is nestled in between Portarlington, Clifton Springs and St Leonards. A quaint combination of old and new homes, large and small allotments, it’s a great, centrally located village. Cafe Zoo (my favourite coffee house) is a cleverly transformed weatherboard home that has become an artistic hub where you can enjoy the best coffee in town whilst viewing the ever changing art that is on display and for sale. Shopping is easy in this hub, with Aldi, Coles and Woolworths as major stores along with a fresh fish shop, restaurants, florists, mechanical repair shops in addition to chemist, modern library built a couple of years ago, butcher, baker, hair dressers and the like.
With a primary school in the heart of town, the village is a busy hub for all ages. Like all the villages around the Bellarine, Drysdale offers a strong sense of community and support for all residents. It’s a sweet place to call home made all the better for the lovely neighbourhood.
"Hands down, best town"
We have lived in Drysdale for years and would never live anywhere else. We love the village feel with the High Street and no huge shopping centers, having said that it has everything you need. Supermarkets, all the major banks, Post Office, Library, Cafes and the pub are all within walking distance to each other. There is also plenty of sports and recreation for the whole family to rest and play. There are currently a few new developments in town which offer land to build brand new homes which is great for people moving to the area. I would personally steer away from the big developments on Jetty Road as that are will not experience the Drysdale feel. However there is a nice one in the heart of town where we bought to retire to. I would recomend Drysdale to anyone who asks and will sing its praises until the day I die! I hope this helps.
