Interstate stay
The property was situated in a convenient location which was close to the venue for the national basketball competition our kids were attending. Plenty of room in the house for 7 of us. Close to public transport which was convenient for us. Nice home and tidy. The only downside was that it is near a busy intersection and the traffic at night was loud, but I'm a light sleeper so for anyone that sleeps soundly it wouldn't be an issue. We enjoyed our stay there.
Property is newly renovated (internally) and contains everything required for a comfortable stay. Exterior is aging and lets the overall presentation down a bit but not a big deal. We were a little bit disappointed that the listing noted additional bedding for children could be made available on request but after booking were told otherwise. Contact from the property owner was via text and the VRBO app only while all relevant information was conveyed it was rather abrupt and to the point. Overall we would happily stay here again if coming back to Geelong, albeit with slightly reduced expectations.
