Highton

Geelong

This is a lovely place to go exploring at any time of the year. There is a walking track along the river that leads to a number of platforms, which has beautiful views over the falls.

After a decent winters rain, it's great for photographers. In summer you can find a lot of skinks here. Great biodiversity. #lovemytown

Breakfast, Pool all great. Clean through out. Two ideas for management to look at. 1. Closing laundry at 7pm, limiting on a days sightseeing and dinner completion. 2. When you check in the entrance circle full of cars, had to park 100m away on golf parking then walk in mostly darkness to front entrance ...

Everything needed was there. Check in quick. Bar and restaurant was a bit limited choice wise and quite pricey. Was unable to redeem my 'drinks voucher' as part of my Hotels Rewards as bar staff advised only covers a small Furphy beer on tap, or a small "house " red or white. Would not even let me ...
