“This place struck me as a really fantastic find in Geelong; the apartments provide space and amenities closer to a private home than a typical lodge. With tennis courts, a pool, and easy access to the Barwon River and surrounding parklands, I think it balances leisure and convenience incredibly well. Overall, this looks to me like an excellent choice for families or anyone seeking a relaxing, self-contained stay.”
