We had a lovely stay at Sea Crest. The place is very comfortably set out and furnished, with a private back yard. Everything we wanted was available, including an air conditioner for a couple of hot nights. A short walk away is the coastal park with even a small swimming beach (we didn't use it). Travel into central Geelong is easy and took only about 10 minutes by car. North Shore is a very quiet residential area; just what we wanted.
