Eden Oak Geelong
Only stayed one night. The property was very clean and tidy as was the room with a nicely updated bathroom and a soft comfy bed. Breakfast was included and was amazingly fresh and cooked well. Very quiet area and we will be back.

Eastern Sands City Centre
Great Location. Comfy bed Air Conditioner kept changing to cool causing the room to become freezing in the middle of the night. Showerhead was broken so it was more like showering under your garden tap. Room was clean but the whole place is old, worn out and poorly maintained.
