Our piece of paradise

Hovsep and I have wanted to move closer to Christian's school and buy a property with a few acres.  We missed out on our dream house and then another about 6 months later.  The rural real estate people seem to do it differently than in the city.  Anyway, we really wanted a little piece of paradise to balance the work and fmaily life out.  Normally over summer we rent a house for 10 days at Portarlington (a cute sleepy beach town just 1 hour from where we live).  In August 2011 we decided we would look at purchasing a cabin in a caravan park, so we could go away whenever we felt like it.  We looked at the caravan park in portarlington, but it was old, run down and the cramped.  The cabins were very close together.  I then started to search on the internet for cabins for sale near portarlington.  I found a gorgeous waterfront cabin for sale.  It was a little more than what we wanted to pay, but it looked beautiful.  I rang and enquired only to be disappointed as it had been sold 3 years ago and the add had not been removed.  I told Hovsep about it and we decided to drive down and check out the park anyway.  Well as soon as we drove in we knew we would buy a cabin from Swanbay.

Swan Bay is situated on the Bellarine Penisula and is between Queenscliff and St Leonards, right on the water.

This is the view from our cabin

The Holiday Park is fantastic and extreamly relaxing.  It has 2 swimming pools, a tennis court, basket ball court, pool table, table tennis, ball and play room and a beautiful walking track over 10 acres when you can soak up the beautiful views and watch the amazing bird life of hundreds of pelicans and black swans just to name a few.

Our cabin is one of the smaller ones, but is bigger enough for us.

The park is also animal friendly which is a bonus as we can take Rio and Charleigh down if we want to.

We love our piece of paradise!!!
