Top hotels in South Geelong
Colonial Lodge Motel Geelong
Great location. Disgusting room, overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke. Dirty floors, dirty bed sheets/ stained, bath towels had brown stains on them, very outdated furniture, bed was so saggy must have been 50years old. If this place is the only accommodation available sleep in your car.

Wyndham Resort Torquay
We did not use the pool, but the area was mice. Our room had a view of the beach, and easy access to the many beach walks along the beautiful coast.
