Staff very friendly and helpful. Felt very safe in that property. Very convenient and affordable. Perhaps the only thing I disliked was the lawn mowing early in the morning which disturbed our sleep.

My husband and I enjoyed 2 nights at Waurn Ponds estate while we spent time around the Geelong area. Central to Geelong city (GMHBA stadium quick 15 minute drive to watch the footy. Same to Geelong water front. Quick drive to Torquay and Bells Beach. We loved the heated outdoor pool and spa on a cold but sunny winters day. Surrounding gardens were beautiful and bird song could be heard everywhere. Our room was very clean and had everything we needed. Cozy, warm and quiet. Bathroom was spacious and the body wash and like products smelt amazing! Breakfast included was a bonus also. (Had only cooked breakfast the first day, and continental next day). Staff very friendly and always helpful. Would recommend this estate.
