Leafy retreat was a nice and comfortable getaway. Plenty of games to fill in time and the bath was beautiful.

That Place Patisserie

Interested in some unbelievable pastries? This is a must see in Geelong. I would eat here everyday if I lived there.

Geelong Museum

Feel like stepping back in time and witnessing some incredible art? Well the Geelong museum has all of that and some newer works also. I was blown away by some of the pieces I saw.

River Bike Paths

Many kilometres of varied bike baths 2 mins bike ride from your accommodation.

Eastern Beach

The perfect place to catch the sunrise. You can walk along the foreshore for beautiful costal views and take a cold dip to awaken your senses.

Buckleys Falls

A serene humble waterfall with views from the top viewing platform and a 200 meter walk down for a closer look. One of my favourite nature experiences in Geelong.
