Geelong hotels

Top tips for finding the perfect Geelong hotel

• Enjoy the beautiful sandy beach in Geelong and stay close to the Eastern Beach Reserve. The Vue Apartments, located next to Austin Park, is a 4-star choice only a 4 minutes’ walk from the beach and offering guests modern rooms with a kitchenette and free Wi-Fi throughout. The 4-star Novotel Geelong is another option nearby that offers a fitness centre and pool.
• Culture enthusiasts should opt for a hotel around Johnstone Park to be close to cultural entertainment such as the Wool Museum or the Geelong Gallery. Stay at the Nireeda Apartments on Clare, a 3-minute walk from the museum and a 4-minute walk from the gallery. Guests can look forward to fully equipped units with a kitchen, living area and refrigerator.
• Watch a game of authentic Australian football at the nearby GMHBA Stadium and book a room in the Colonial Lodge Motel to be an 8-minute walk from the next match. Alternatively, the Kardinia Park Motel is a good budget option only 5 minutes from the stadium. The motel offers free Wi-Fi and parking.
• Geelong has many shops, restaurants and coffee shops on offer, primarily around Malop Street and the Market Square. Shopping lovers should opt for the Gate House on Ryrie, a hotel set in a beautiful Victorian building just 5 minutes from the Market Square Shopping Centre and adjacent to a pharmacy.
• If you are more into golf than swimming, Geelong also has a golf course in the eastern part of the city, a little bit further than the Botanic Garden. Comfort Inn Bay City hotel is located on Malop Street and is a relaxed choice only a 6-minute drive from the golf course and a 3-minute drive from the Botanic Garden, plus it includes breakfast and a laid-back restaurant.
