With an ever changing display of exciting pieces drop by when you get the chance, you will not be disappointed. You may even be lucky enough to find that piece, the one you can't live without.
Great place to visit once or multiple times as they have an artist base of sculptures, all mediums of painting, glass along with hand made jewellery.
Guest exhibits happen frequently
Beautiful gallery at Aireys Inlet on the spectacular Great Ocean Road featuring local and regional painters, sculptors, jewellery makers and glass artisans. Lots of light-filled rooms bursting with creativity. I have exhibited here for many years and always loved the drive from my Point Lonsdale studio to deliver my works and catch up with friendly, helpful staff.
Great service and lovely owner, just a delight to buy this magnificent piece of art
What a beautiful gallery full of gorgeous art, all displayed tastefully. I was so impressed. Congratulations to the owners and assistant, Cinnamon, was a warm and friendly.
Great little Gallery, lots of verity with displays updated regularly, prices for all tastes, a must visit spot on the great Ocean Road
We had a lovely experience visiting your gallery on Sunday. A great variation of artwork and pieces to inspire all who visit. I will be facebooking a "must see" to my art group if heading up that way... cheers and hope to see you both again very soon.
Amazing local art exhibitions.
The owner Bruno makes it fun to visit.
We just bought a painting off a local artist Ian Duncan. It is just amazing. We will definately be back to buy more.

Fairhaven Beach is always beautiful, rain or shine. Just walking along its length gives a sense of peace and calm. Photographically it is superb as you an photograph a range of features from crashing waves to surfers.
It’s a shame all the sand has washed away. Beach is now very narrow, so not as family friendly. Still great for surfing and swimming
Nice spot away from the crowds. There's also lifeguards on the beach.
Great Patrolled surf beach, has toilets, outdoor shower and drinking fountains at Surf Club, which are open even when lifeguards aren't patrolling. Roadside parking isn't the safest.
Fairhaven Beach is a hidden gem! My wife, friends, and I recently visited, and we were blown away by the stunning surroundings and perfect weather. The atmosphere was heavenly, and the best part was the refreshing lack of crowds. Fairhaven Beach is a must-visit for anyone craving a serene and beautiful beach experience. We're already planning our next trip – can't recommend it enough! #FairhavenBeach #PerfectGetaway
Situated nearly three kilometers from Aireys Inlet heading towards Lorne, Fairhaven Beach is very easy to locate. Lifeguards and shower/toilet facilities are available... A Great family friendly place to enjoy your holiday
We take people Tandem Paragliding regularly over this beach. Such a wonderful part of the Great Ocean Road, flying above the road and past the house on a pole.
Vast views and great walks great spot for lunch and a walk. And the lighthouse is worth a visit also rug up on a windy day...
I've always loved this stretch of beach. It's got amazing views, and if you're lucky, occasionally you can spot dolphins or seals having fun in the surf. The other day, on my way back to Geelong, I was blessed to see the most incredible sunset.
Fairhaven Beach is one of my favorite surfing break. Probably the largest breaking wave on day distance from Melbourne (unless you want to drive to Joanna). The break can be amazing, if the conditions are right. It can also be a though break (large). You can't beat the view, sand and the waves. Mark it on your itinerary.

For us, best stop along the Great Ocean Road for a chill moment or even a chill day.
Great facility with lots of car spaces and big new toilet area.
2 mins down to the beach. Lots of areas to explore. Perfect to bring your family or pets for a quick swim/play in the swim holes area - pretty safe there.
I saw many people surfing or just sun-tanning. We spent good couples of hours just walking around the area, and chilling there with the sound of the waves and the smell of the ocean - super relaxing and calming. It was just perfect seeing the golden retriever enjoying himself/herself in the beach. My dream life!!!
Overall, if you have time, definitely go here and chill!

Good spot which is dog friendly. Our shepherd loved running on the sand. Went early to watch the sunrise! Magic! ✨
this amazing spot of Surf Beach is a fantastic spot, you can drive down to the Beach and amenity"s are there, and enjoy what sand and surf at this historical site, Just Breath taking, I love it!
Stopped on our way to Lorne
Short stop but easy parking
Kids loved it
Great on a sunny day for sure.
Nice clean beach with wide shoreline and great waves, good for little kids to play around and for adults and bigger kids to surf and boards. The only bad thing is the amenities like the toilets and changing rooms are disgusting. The parking area could be improved.
March is the best time to go anywhere in Australia school holidays are over the weather's still good and the beaches are empty
One of our favorite places to visit. Beautiful surf beach. Not know to too many so usually on the quiet side
Very picturesque and a great relaxing place. Visited on a day where there were virtually no other people about, so it was heaven. Didn't walk on the beach this time, but will do in the future. Definitely would go back.
Urquhart bluff was a nice little beach with mild surf. The kids loved it. They were also doing surf lessons here. ❤️
Used by a surf school and quite a few surfers. Nice walking beach with good access. Toilets but no bins. Great for dogs. Interesting folded sediment layers on cliff just west of carpark. Would get overcrowded at peak times. Boating restriction signs suggest over use.

Allen Noble Sanctuary is a serene location where one can reconnect with oneself and others. Its tranquil ambiance, coupled with the presence of a pair of swans and three baby birds, creates an enchanting atmosphere. This small park offers a peaceful setting for leisurely walks and picnics, accompanied by the delightful company of ducks and other wildlife. The park's sculptures add to its charm, while the swampy lake provides picturesque backdrops for memorable photographs.
A great place to just catch up with yourself and others with the tranquility of this place a pair of Swan with 3 chic's Amazing
