Established by the Corless family who have been involved in several businesses, local service clubs and charities on the Bellarine Peninsula for many decades. The business remains locally owned and operated.
We are not a box store, we pride ourselves on personalised friendly service and helpful and knowledgeable advice. We see ourselves as the old-fashioned country store that has something for just about everybody. We specialise in pet supplies, landscape & garden, irrigation, home brewing, local produce, pool & spa maintenance and more.
The lifestyle offered on the Bellarine Peninsula is unique. The region has a distinctly rural feel with broad acre and small niche farms set in the rolling landscape around Drysdale and Wallington, yet is close to the beautiful beaches of the Great Ocean Road, Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale and the bayside towns of Portarlington, Clifton Springs, St Leonards and Indented Heads. All this only a short drive from central Geelong. So next time you’re in the area call in and say hi we would love to see you!
