Discover

There's a unique bit of magic happening in Geelong and the Bellarine – think seaside getaway with all the perks of a vibrant, evolving city.

Follow us for a sun-kissed laze on golden beaches. Pick the energy up a tick in the pounding surf. Pedal lush peninsula rail trails and make excellent friends with the grape at classy cellar doors. Revitalise with some contemporary and urban art. Then fill your belly at Geelong's creative restaurants. This is the five-course bit. The maybe just a drop more bit. The really memorable bit.
