Diane & Phil Key

We were very surprised by some of the last comments in regards to traffic in Tiberius Road. Working in and around Rye, Tootgarook, Rosebud, Blairgowrie, Sorrento & St Andrews Beach we tend to find St Andrews Beach & the back beach area of Rye to be the quietest over the peak summer period.

The idyllic natural setting offers a relaxed lifestyle that is sought by many attempting to escape the hustle and bustle of the city/suburban existence. Features of the area are numerous and include the very popular St Andrews Beach Golf Club, community hall and tennis courts, a wide selection of world class surf beaches, stunning National Parks, international standard equestrian facilities as well as the ever popular beach rides and of course the amazing Peninsula Hot Springs to name but a few.

Set amongst the Moonah trees this Street offers a quiet relaxing landscape yet you can stroll to the beach and township in a few minutes!

Everybody loves the wonderful "TYRONE FORESHORE" precinct with its pristine family friendly beach, boat ramp facilities, quaint collection of beach boxes and classic shady Moonah trees. Properties in the area are highly sought after.

Located just one street back from the Bay beach this Street still has that "Sea Change" feeling. Residents have not knocked down the local plant life of Ti-trees & Moonahs so you won't mistake yourself for being up in the Suburbs like some other Streets. The blocks of land in the Street are of good sizes, however there is not much sub-division potential at this point in time so you do not need to fear that 20 unitas will go up next door anytime soon. Whilst you have a very short stroll to the beach you will also find a park in the street to take the kids for a kick of footy.

Although this Avenue is located between two busy roads (Point Nepean & Eastbourne) it is fairly quiet with traffic generally not using it as a cut through. There are a group of shops at the end which provide you with several Dine in & Take away stores, fashion, newsagents, dry cleaners etc. Also the street is in walking distance to the local High School, Rosebud Hospital & Rosebud Plaza, so can suit those who chose not use the car on a daily basis. A great spot for Retirees, Young Families and Investors. Also with half of the Avenue backing onto the Chinamans Creek Reserve you have less bordering neighbours which means less noise. And of course a straight walk over to the Bay Beach, so you will get to know the neighbours while out walking the dog or stopping for a coffee at the corner cafe.

This suburb should not be under estimated and is one to keep an eye on. With numerous subdivision s & development s occurring in Rosebud West it is an up and coming suburb with a beautiful stretch of beach . Traditionally regarded as a Retirement town due to Village Green and the like, young families and first home buyers are being attracted to the area due to the affordability of housing. The younger generations are buying up, moving in and renovating resulting in Rosebud West becoming quite trendy. The Capel Sound Village has promising businesses opening which reflect a Community spirit. The quaint strip provides cafes, bars, several good take away or dine in restaurants, fashion shop and more. Best part is the beach is just across the street!

Accessibility is amazing! Only one set of traffic lights to the airport, short 30 min drive to Frankston, access to Rosebud Hub via Point Nepean or Eastborne Road in the peak summer months if you want to avoid the traffic. Rosebud West has on offer secondary and primary school, Chisholm TAFE, Hospital, several sporting & dog parks to serve the community. It is the gateway to the remainder of the Peninsula. Just a short drive to all Rye, Blairgowrie, Sorrento & Portsea have to offer. Why wouldn't you snap up a home to renovate that is close to everything the Mornington Peninsula has to offer.

An area that caters to active, sports orientated people. For the golfing fraternity there is the world class St Andrews Beach Golf Club that offers an interesting and challenging 18 hole course with long fairways and one of the most picture perfect outlooks on offer. Close by are a number of other great courses that include Moonah Links, The Dunes and Eagle Ridge. Equestrian followers will love Gunnamatta Trail Rides with their exclusive beach rides, Boneo Park Equestrian Centre around the corner or even the opportunity to join the team at Horseback Winery Tours for a unique fun filled afternoon checking out a few of the local vintages. Of course it goes without saying that St Andrews Beach is the true surfing hot spot of the Mornington Peninsula. With a vast array of amazing surf beaches. The coastline is dotted with National Parks with endless walking tracks offering breathtaking views around every corner as well as a huge collection of flora and fauna for your enjoyment. Living at St Andrews Beach is as varied as the activities on offer. Multi million dollar cliff top mansions share this wonderful location with regular homes and quaint beach/holiday houses. A quick trip to the local shops will give you all the goodies you need for your picnic or casual dinner as well as a beverage or two. The St Andrews Beach Recreation Centre is the Community Hub with newly refurbished Tennis Courts, Petanque Court, kiddies playground and Community Hall. The world tends to turn a little slower at St Andrews Beach. Sit back and enjoy life to the fullest.

A peaceful and much sought after hamlet gracing the Port Philip Bay foreshore between Rye and Sorrento. The beaches are superb with boat launching facilities on the Tyrone foreshore for your convenience. You have the choice of stunning sedate bay beaches or exciting untamed ocean surf beaches, both are truly spectacular. The Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron offers first class facilities for members with a very active social scene as well as a good mix of casual and competitive sailing activities. There are exceptional mooring facilities adjacent to the club facilities. Everybody loves the Blairgowrie Village with its eclectic collection of shops, restaurants, bars and take away`s as well as a well stocked IGA Supermarket and adjacent bottle shop/cellar. Sorrento and the Queenscliff ferry are just down the road and the restaurants and cellar doors of the Peninsulas famous wineries are a pleasant short drive into the hills to sample some award winning local wines. Blairgowrie property prices vary considerably in relation to location and in many cases offer a more affordable alternative to the highly sought after areas of Sorrento and Portsea. Locals and visitors alike seek the "lay back" atmosphere that this idyllic seaside village has to offer. Best of all we are only an hour or so from the CBD.

Without doubt one of the fastest growing townships on the Mornington Peninsula. Always considered the affordable spot for a family beach house or holiday, property buyers are now recognizing the amazing value for money Tootgarook property offers. You can still purchase a humble 1950`s/60`s fibro beach house for a song but predictions are that this will end soon as stock dries up and more and more are renovated driving property values UP. The beaches are safe and suitable for families. The vast sandy foreshore areas are a favourite for endless family fun. Foreshore camping is still encouraged adding to the relaxed holiday village feel. Facilities are excellent with both Rye and Rosebud close by. Fun things to do abound in every direction and there are fully equipped hospital/doctors facilities should the need arise. The majority of the front beach area is flat offering retirees a perfect opportunity to settle and enjoy their latter years. Tootgarook has something for everyone and judging by the number of properties selling there is no doubt that the secret is out. The CBD is now only a swift, safe trip of under an hour away enabling you to commute with ease.

Located approximately 55minutes from the City and the Eastern Suburbs Rye has always been one of the Mornington Peninsulas favourite holiday destinations. Now with the free flowing Peninsula Link and the Frankston Bypass offering a dream run from the city and suburbs people are choosing to relocate to the Peninsula on a permanent basis, "the perfect sea change as they say". Rye has the advantage of kilometers of sparkling family friendly bay beaches with bleached sandy beaches, shady Moonah trees and an interesting collection of bathing boxes. For the more adventurous there are world class surf beaches that cater for all categories of surfing enthusiast. All forms of aquatic activities are yours for the asking. For those seeking the buzz of the ocean from a spectators point of view there is a never ending series of paths and walkways along the cliff faces and through the wonderful national parks.

Rye has a very popular RSL with regular live entertainment, a large extremely active bowls club that encourages visitors, Football and Cricket Grounds and a well used community hall. The annual Christmas foreshore carnival is a major draw card as to are the traditional foreshore camping grounds. Rye has it all in abundance for permanent residents and visitors.
