I had a very comfortable one night stay at Carole’s. Slept like a baby (such a quiet suburban street!), had a nice warm shower and made use of the fridge and ‘food prep area’ before checking out. It’s located in North Torquay, right near the Dunes shopping centre with a bakery, supermarket and tasty Thai restaurant. Torquay shops/front beach is 35-40 min walk. From Geelong, the highway bus (51) is a 10min walk or under 2min on bus 50.
