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 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.
