When is the best time to go to Rippleside?

The best time to visit Rippleside, Victoria, is between November and March, when the weather is warm and sunny, making it ideal for enjoying the coastal activities and local attractions. During these months, you'll experience average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 26°C, great for a day at Rippleside Beach or a stroll along the waterfront. This period also coincides with the peak of local events and outdoor festivals in the wider Geelong area, offering more options for entertainment and cultural experiences. For travellers looking to avoid the busiest crowds and still enjoy pleasant weather, the shoulder months of November and March are particularly good. You'll find the climate comfortable for exploring without the larger tourist numbers that might be present in the height of summer (December to February).

"Staff were friendly and helpful. The room as nice and spacious with a balcony. We requested for the room to be made up upon check in but had to request again as housekeeping had not been- they were prompt to do so. The construction of the new tower was only a bother in the morning and it was a little frustrating that we were only informed this was happening after booking a non refundable room. Luckily our second night was a public holiday."

10/10 Excellent

"This place was beautiful! Highly recommended!"

Ingenia Holidays Torquay

8/10 Good

"The Staff were excellent. Emma the Property Manager was fabulous when I mentioned that we'd had a problem accessing Netflix. A minor problem I know but she was so wonderful in the way she handled our feedback. We highly recommend this Park. The facilities and games for children are second to none. A very safe environment for children to play andcexplore. We will definitely return."

Geelong Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"The park was in a great position, a short drive to Geelong foreshore and Belmont shops. Our cabin was very clean and comfortable, the amenities great and the staff lovely. The only downside was the WiFi wasn't working which didn't worry me but perplexed the Grand children 😁 Would definitely stay there again"
