Wyndham Resort Torquay
Overall the experience was perfect, its a shame there is no restaurant on site but otherwise fantastic! If there was anything i could fault it was a senior staff member addressing issues with bar/cafe staff in front of guests ...whilst there were not many of us around i think those conversations ...

Eden Oak Geelong
This was a beautiful property in the middle of a park. The reception staff went out of their way to allow me a room change and to check in early. I will definately be back next time I’m in Geelong.

The Sands Torquay
The staff was friendly and attentive. The room was clean and spacious. We initially planned to stay one night, but decided to stay another night, luckily the room was available and the staff arranged so that we didn’t have to move out and in again.
