“I found this property to be a surprisingly peaceful retreat near Geelong, despite its university location, with newly renovated spaces and a focus on nature. The modern rooms impress, particularly the bathrooms, and the breakfast is a definite highlight. For those seeking a quiet getaway with easy access to city amenities, it's a smart choice.”
