Getting around

Getting Around & Transport Recommendations:
To help you plan your journey, here is everything you need to know about parking and getting around the area:
Parking at the Property
• Guest Parking: There is ample, secure parking available on-site for your vehicles.
• A Quick Note: To ensure complete transparency when you arrive, please note there is a permanent vehicle parked on the front grass area of the property. This vehicle is completely stationary, does not move, and will not interfere with your designated guest parking spaces or your privacy in any way.
Public Transport & Airport Shuttles
• Airport Connections (Gull Bus Service): If you are flying into Melbourne (Tullamarine) or Avalon Airport, the Gull Airport Shuttle is a fantastic, reliable service that runs regular daily connections directly into Geelong.
• Local Rail & Bus: Corio and Geelong stations offer easy rail access straight into Melbourne CBD or down to the Surf Coast.
Taxis & Pet-Friendly Rides
• Standard Taxis: Local taxi services and rideshares (like Uber) operate frequently throughout the area for quick trips.
• Pet-Friendly Transport: Traveling with a furry friend and don't have a car? We can recommend local taxi services that specialize in pet transport—just let us know in advance, and we will happily provide their contact details.
Do You Need a Car?
• While public transport and shuttle services are excellent for getting into the main city hubs, we highly recommend having a private or rental vehicle if you plan on exploring the Great Ocean Road, local wineries, or the wider Geelong region at your own leisure.
