POINT LONSDALE IS A TOWN OF STRIKING CONTRASTS.
There are two diverse sides to this Victorian coastal town; the rugged landscape of a village situated at one the headlands of the Bellarine Peninsula and the calmness of a protected foreshore.

POINT LONSDALE ACCOMMODATION Cosy, cutting-edge design, romance from the past, whether secluded in ti-trees or with the roar of the ocean, Point Lonsdale Accommodation options abound. The total immersion in a past ambience with modern facilities can be appreciated at the Point Lonsdale Guesthouse (formerly the Terminus and the oldest in Point Lonsdale) situated close to the lighthouse, pier, beaches and cafes. A gentle walk to Ripview to see ships coming from everywhere in the world. The low chugging sound of a pilot boat, possibly a close-up view of ‘The Princess of Tasmania’ and further beyond the Point Nepean Headland (historically linked to Shortland Bluff and the Point Lonsdale Headland). Three headlands with National Heritage Listing, a testament to Australia’s earlier defence capabilities. Explore the intriguing Point Lonsdale Lighthouse Reserve with Victorian Heritage Listing for a snapshot into the past with old ruins, gun fortifications and the Foghorn Shed surrounding the iconic 1902 Point Lonsdale Lighthouse.
