Good coffee and a tasty meal can take a while to find when you move to a new area. And let's be honest, a good café culture is up there on the priority list when it comes to choosing a suburb to call home.
Fortunately, if you're considering a sea change to the Bellarine Peninsula and its glorious bay side suburbs, you will be spoilt with choice when choosing a new 'local' to fulfill all of your foodie needs.
As well as an eclectic mix of boutique wineries, breweries and cheesemakers, there's no shortage of quaint cafés and bustling restaurants to sit and take in the scenery while enjoying local produce and good coffee.
Fletchers Bellarine director, James Gladman believes the Peninsula is a fantastic spot to live, with lots of great places to stop for a coffee or a bite to eat.
