Question 1

Is The Gurdies a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

The Gurdies is a quiet rural coastal locality on the western shore of Western Port, on the outer edge of the Mornington Peninsula. It is defined by bushland, paddocks and large lifestyle blocks, with homes mostly farms and acreage properties and a handful of holiday houses tucked along country lanes. Local services are sparse, so residents look to nearby town centres for shops, schools and practical amenities, while the foreshore, creeks and reserves provide spots for bushwalking, birdwatching and water-based recreation in a low-density, semi-rural setting.

With a population of 243 and a median age of 57, the community is dominated by couple families and high levels of owner-occupation (88.4% combined owned outright and with a mortgage). The Gurdies also has the Gurdies Nature Conservation Reserve, which was affected by a bushfire and has seen restricted access and recovery and monitoring activity, and nearby sand-extraction sites that have moved into rehabilitation under industry and regulator oversight. Whether it suits you depends on whether you want a rural or coastal lifestyle and are comfortable relying on nearby towns for everyday services.

Accepted Answer
