Waurn Ponds Estate
Lovely property. Super efficient check in and check out. Wonderful breakfast and tea and coffee available throughout the day. The room itself was spotless and perfect for a short stay. The bathroom is fantastic and large. The pool looked very inviting but we did not have time to try it this time ...

Rydges Geelong
The room was clean and spacious. The only gripe was the air conditioning. It wouldn't go lower than 19 degrees and the room felt so stuffy and humid. Wehad a very restless night and our babies couldnt settle.

Admiralty Inn
Room was very clean. But the premises was tired, no soap in the shower. Car park is limited but sufficient. Had early start so did not eat there.
