Waurn Ponds Estate is a unique experience as it is a conference centre taking week end guests. We were attending a party in close proximity a $12 uber ride away. The amenities rooms & breakfast are second to none.

Lovely property. Super efficient check in and check out. Wonderful breakfast and tea and coffee available throughout the day. The room itself was spotless and perfect for a short stay. The bathroom is fantastic and large. The pool looked very inviting but we did not have time to try it this time around. Cannot fault the hotel. Will absolutely be back. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We had an absolutely exceptional stay at this hotel and can confidently say it exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome with their warm, attentive service and seamless check-in process.

The amenities truly set this hotel apart. The room was modern and immaculately clean, with a bed so comfortable it felt like sleeping on a cloud.

The facilities were equally impressive and the pool area was a perfect place to unwind after a long day. Buffet breakfast was plentiful and I would highly recommend staying here and will definitely be returning on my next trip. You do need a car to get around as it is a bit out of the way although the Waurn Ponds shopping centre is not far away

This was a great find - an amazing location for a quiet night and generous breakfast included.
The room was spotless, the bed comfortable and the inclusion of a pod machine in the room and an espresso machine in the common area was much appreciated.
Staff were lovely and friendly and if we were back in Geelong we would definitely stay here again.

Arrived at 6pm and was able to dine in house with good value food on express menu before 6 45pm.
Being a conference centre they provide unusued rooms for public bookings. There was only a small group conference so it was very quiet dueing our stay.
Breakfast was hot and cold buffet options in dining area. A moderate range of healthy options
Room was modern clean and comfortable.
Would stay there again.

They didn’t have our check in details and no room had been booked. We were told they don’t usually take bookings from Wotif. They gave us a room after a while but this confusion shouldn’t happen. Certainly not the attending staffs issue but there is an issue

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.
