Tourist Guide

The historic building of Queenscliff South Pier against the blue ocean on a sunny day. Victoria, Australia. The pier is a prominent tourist attraction and recreational fishing area in the coastal town
Walking distance from the South Geelong train station, the Little Creatures Brewery is a fun place to spend the day. It's like the Willy Wonka factory for beer lovers! White Rabbit is also on the premises. #SMDdoesOZ #Geelong #Australia

Great location. Disgusting room, overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke. Dirty floors, dirty bed sheets/ stained, bath towels had brown stains on them, very outdated furniture, bed was so saggy must have been 50years old. If this place is the only accommodation available sleep in your car.
