When Mamma says this place is on the water she means it’s RIGHT ON the water! On The Heads sits on a gorgeous old jetty on the river at Barwon Heads. This is a stunning spot with views to Ocean Grove, the heads, and the bridge that brings in all the tourists. Mamma was there on a beautiful sunny day and it felt like peak summer perfection, with those delicious food smells, families swimming in the water, kids jumping off the pier, and a refreshing elderflower mojito. The food was fantastic and the service was great too. Mamma says this is a must stop on your next visit down the coast!

Mamma’s special mention: There is a playground just on the other side of the bridge in Barwon Heads.
