Curlewis Property Market
& Suburb Profile

Located within the City of Greater Geelong, Curlewis offers residents some of the best bay views in the region, with its gently undulating land providing fine vistas across Port Phillip Bay and towards the distant Melbourne skyline and the You Yangs mountain range.

The suburb is named after the pioneer Curlewis family who settled here in the mid-19th century when the area was known as Point Henry, and historical landmarks like the bluestone and brick St. Francix Xavier Church remain noticeable features in the landscape.

The suburb has undergone significant transformation since the 2010s, with the construction of major urban growth areas like Bayview on the Bellarine, Curlewis Parks, and Baywater Estate, which have led to a massive population surge. These developments have successfully created contemporary, master-planned communities offering modern family housing, walking paths, wetlands, and playgrounds that encourage outdoor living. At the heart of this growth is the Curlewis Shopping Centre on Centennial Boulevard, which serves as a vital Neighbourhood Activity Centre featuring a supermarket, medical centre, pharmacy, and other essential services.

Curlewis is celebrated for its exceptional recreational offerings, primarily centred around the Curlewis Golf Club, which is ranked among the top public access golf courses in Australia and features a state-of-the-art driving range and bistro. The suburb benefits from being on the doorstep of the Bellarine's famous food and wine region, with numerous wineries like Leura Park Estate and the Curlewis Winery just a short drive away.

Active residents enjoy the Bellarine Rail Trail for walking and cycling, and easy access to the Portarlington ferry terminal provides convenient, direct commuter access to Melbourne’s Docklands.

With an affordable median house price and a demographic predominantly made up of young couples with children, Curlewis offers a perfect balance of quiet coastal appeal and modern, connected convenience.
