Where to stay in Geelong

Belmont Common is one of my favourite birdwatching areas in Geelong. There is a bird hide at Jerringot Wildlife Research. You get a lot of waterbirds in the area and also the occasional bird of prey. It's well known for crakes, rails and lathams snipe. #localgem

Belmont

Get to know Belmont by checking out its shopping, spas, and river views. Consider a visit to nearby sights like Kardinia Park or GMHBA Stadium during your time in the area.

Serendip Sanctuary is a great place to see Emus and Kangaroos in a 'wild' setting. They let many native animals roam free and you can just walk past them. They have a number of bird hides and enclosures where you can also see native animals. It's free to visit and is close to Lara train station.

Lara

You'll enjoy the museums and parks in Lara. You might want to make time for a stop at Serendip Sanctuary or You Yangs Regional Park.

Apartment was lovely, clean modern and with full amenities. No restaurant or bar but a grocery store literally a few steps away outside that had everything we needed. You can order dinner in if you want or walk or drive down to many other eateries. Would definitely stay here again.
