Me and my partner were seeking a quiet and relaxing accommodation whilst staying here at Geelong. Waurn Ponds Estate was able to provide what we were looking for. Clean room. Scenic view. Quiet and serene surroundings. Breakfast was pleasant and filling. Would definitely come back for our future stays here in Geelong. Thanks Waurn Ponds Estate!

Liked the shared facilities but missed out on our complimentary breakfast but we had to compete in an event so 8am start time for breakfast is too late unfortunately.

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.
