Overview

Skenes Creek is a quiet coastal locality in Victoria’s Shire of Colac Otway, home to 249 residents according to the 2021 census. The area takes its name from surveyor George Smythe, who honoured fellow surveyor Alexander Skene, later Victorian Surveyor General. Although the historic Skene’s Creek State School and post office have long closed, the community retains a sense of heritage linked to its 19th‑century roots.

Residents enjoy a relaxed seaside lifestyle with easy access to Biddles Beach and scenic lookouts at Gentle Annie Hill and Evans Lookout. Local accommodation includes boutique hotels such as Beacon Point Ocean View Villas and Chris’s Beacon Point Restaurant & Villas, while the Skenes Creek Bridge upgrade, slated for completion in June 2026, enhances road access and supports a mix of permanent homes and short‑stay rentals.
