Sugarloaf is a small coastal locality in the Shire of Colac Otway, Victoria, Australia.[2] In the 2011 census, the population of Sugarloaf was too low to separately report; however in November 2014 the Victorian Electoral Commission recorded 10 enrolled voters in Sugarloaf, living in 9 properties.[3][4]

Quick Facts Sugarloaf Victoria, Coordinates ...

The locality is centred on a 30m high sand dune along the Great Ocean Road, and derives its name from an observation that it looked like a sugarloaf.[5][6][7][8] It sits at the mouth of the Sugarloaf Creek, and fronts onto a cove known locally as Onion Bay.[9][6] Sugarloaf is completely surrounded on land by the larger locality of Wongarra.[10]

A former Redemptionist Fathers monastery is located at Sugarloaf. After its closure, it operated as short-term accommodation for people living with mental illness through Mind Australia. The property was sold in 2012, and has since operated as the Seacroft holiday accommodation.[11][12] The "Stephanie's at Onion Bay" holiday apartments are also located at Sugarloaf.[6]
