Me and my partner were seeking a quiet and relaxing accommodation whilst staying here at Geelong. Waurn Ponds Estate was able to provide what we were looking for. Clean room. Scenic view. Quiet and serene surroundings. Breakfast was pleasant and filling. Would definitely come back for our future stays here in Geelong. Thanks Waurn Ponds Estate!
