Top hotels in Highton
Rydges Geelong
The hotel was lovely overall. Unfortunately, the room next door was a bit noisy at night, which made it a little hard to get a good night’s sleep. That said, the staff were very professional and friendly, which really made the stay enjoyable.

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.

Wyndham Resort Torquay
Good location and nice rooms
Reviewed on 9 Apr 2026
The Sands Torquay
Beautiful, modern room. Restaurant /bar very nice and staff super friendly and efficient. Only let down was that the pool was closed for 1 day and when open was zoned in lanes, so not a hotel/holiday vibe at all.
