"Not what it used to be."
Inverloch is becoming an unfriendly place with many entitled and arrogant people that have moved here in the past two years. It's noisy as well. Gone are the quiet times. We have lived here most of our lives but past few years we're seeing more city people who are trying to make this town into a city by pulling down trees, concrete everywhere, killing wildlife, not giving a stuff about nothing but themselves. Inverloch has become seeded with the entitled new money.
"Lovely Coastal Town"
Inverloch, a lovely a coastal town that caters for all people of all ages.
A friendly town with all that you could ask for complimented by a great beach.
Perfect to retire, holiday to with family and friends, perhaps buy an investment and Air BnB your home.

"Ecletic mix of traditional beachside town and cosmopolitan pizzaz!"
With a vibe all of its own Inverloch has some diverse and distinct areas to enjoy and live in. I particularly like the way it is being tastefully developed in the older areas close to the beach - alot of the native vegetation is being retained with high quality architectural style homes hidden in the street scape. Accessible, Affordable (depending on what part of Inverloch you are looking at) and nearly everything in walking distance. Tick, Tick, Tick!
Great for
- Beautiful beaches to walk along
- Fantastic beaches!
- Can buy all the necessities of life without travelling further
- Peace and quiet

Legsio - the 2/5 was an error......which I have amended. Re: the "urban consolidation" - I just think it is shame to see so many lovely treed areas being taken over by townhouse and unit developments.
Ok... i thought as much as I couldn't understand the reasoning. Lots of people come here and complain about the lack of shops and then mention how the townhouses and units have changed the place. Unfortunately thats the result of building a supermarket here. I would prefer there was no supermarket and travel the 8 minutes to Wonthaggi where there is Coles/Target (full city style being built, not Country) /Safeway/ IGA / Big W / Aldi, to mention a few. Oh and Bunnings has started construction.
The place has changed and the council has recognised this and I believe it was the State Gov't who have imposed a "small country town" restriction on it to restrict growth.
Please, everyone, come visit, but respect the locals and protect our town!
Oh and the council have designated areas around the town for medium density construction to allow townhouse construction, but have restrctions in a lot of the treed areas to protect these. Hopefully they keep these.
Interesting. As of today. 28-11-13. House prices are down approx 13% on last year. Yet prices advertised are 23% higher than last year.
"A great place to live"
Inverloch is the way our suburb in Melbourne used to be ! People here are courteous, friendly and willing to lend a hand when you need it. Our neighbours give us a wave as we drive along the street. The beach is beautiful, the traffic is quiet and there are rarely queues in the shops or restaurants except at holiday time. We have a holiday home there and spend most weekends there. We plan to retire there in around 5 years and hope the fast pace of life in Melbourne hasn't spread as far as Inverloch.
I hope bupbow who did the previous review thinks twice before returning to the chaotic traffic, stress and high cost of living in the city

"A beautiful seaside town with everything you could ever need just 5 minutes away!"
Cape Paterson is a very quiet and very beautiful seaside village. Continuously expanding, Cape Paterson is becoming an excellent investment and a fantastic place to live! With Wonthaggi just five minutes away, you get all the bonuses of living away from the city, with all of the conveniences still right at your door step!

"Beautiful, but over priced."
Feel of the place has been destroyed since the desal plant went ahead. Now busy all the time, rather than just holiday periods. Rental prices which were already on the high side are now totally insane. House prices are also on the absurdly high side for a regional town. As beautiful as Inverloch and surrounds are, the benefits are now almost totally outweighed by the high prices and busy streets. We have been driven out by the costs and are heading to Melbourne to find better value.

Hang on?? You complain about the lack of shopping facilities yet there's too much "Urban Consolidation"? What do you think will happen if we build more shops here?
Laid back characteristics are generally reflected in a small amount of shops and "small" supermarkets.
2/5 is ridiculous... this is a 4 star coutry town with great local character, IMHO. :-)
