Located on Munro Avenue, the new project brought to market by REC and Eton Property Group is perfectly positioned to take advantage of a relaxed coastal lifestyle while remaining close to modern urban amenities.

Near the beach, and surrounded by lush reserves, there is never any shortage of things to do in Cheltenham. For nature lovers, the Whispers and Vistas trail begins at Cheltenham Park, only a 15-minute walk from Southbay’s doorstep. This easy 3km walk showcases the historic sites within the area, winding past the Native Flora and Fauna Reserve, Cheltenham Primary School and Shipston Reserve, and Cheltenham Pioneer Cemetery. There’s no better way to get to know Cheltenham on foot, with plenty of rest stops incorporated along the way.

Running all the way from the Nepean Highway to the beachfront, Bay Road is the central High Street for Cheltenham.

In addition to a thriving café and restaurant scene, Cheltenham is also home to one of Melbourne’s most popular shopping destinations. Southland, only 350 metres from Southbay, provides over 400 retailers and services. From boutique outlets to department store favourites such as Myer and David Jones, shoppers can easily spend the day window browsing before catching a new movie at the cinemas.
