"Staff were friendly and helpful. The room as nice and spacious with a balcony. We requested for the room to be made up upon check in but had to request again as housekeeping had not been- they were prompt to do so. The construction of the new tower was only a bother in the morning and it was a little frustrating that we were only informed this was happening after booking a non refundable room. Luckily our second night was a public holiday."

"We had a wonderful stay. The room was very clean, comfortable and well maintained. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel was family-friendly and the facilities were great. We especially enjoyed the pool. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience and would happily stay here again. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Geelong Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"The park was in a great position, a short drive to Geelong foreshore and Belmont shops. Our cabin was very clean and comfortable, the amenities great and the staff lovely. The only downside was the WiFi wasn't working which didn't worry me but perplexed the Grand children 😁 Would definitely stay there again"
