The best of bayside living is on the doorstep of this character-rich Edwardian property in tightly held Rippleside.
"Orontes", one of the original homes in the area, is just metres from Corio Bay and only a few minutes' walk to the Geelong Bollard Bay walk, Rippleside Park, St Helens Park, and North Geelong railway station.

Great getaway
We had a great stay at the property. It's an beautiful old weatherboard house that was clean and comfortable. It is a short drive from the main town in Geelong. Communication for arrival and check out was great.
