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.

The Sands Torquay
The rooms are very spacious and well laid out. The resort has excellent facilities. Obviously you would benefit most if you are a golfer. The in-house gym and pool and fitness Centre is also excellent.
