You might be familiar with Geelong due to one of these things: its beaches, the Cats, and Ford, but the city and the nearby area have more to offer than meet the eye. Whether you plan to stay and play or take a day trip, you won’t be left disappointed once you’ve come here. Tracing back its history to the pre-industrial era where giant goods manufacturers used to be headquartered here, the city has plenty of modern and hip cafes that were built out of the vacant industrial properties. There are plenty of fantastic things to do as well. The question is can you find a place to stay here that’s as accomodating as the city? We hear you! We’ve done the research for you. Here are the best Airbnbs in Geelong, Australia.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 08, 2024.

9. Industrial-style bedroom with modern art pieces

Minimalistic design is the recurring theme of this one-bedroom apartment. Starting from the marble dining tables with matching seats, to the rustic timber furniture and state-of-the-art decorations, each piece of furniture exudes an unparalleled elegance. We also like the way the timber plantation shutters add a warm feel to the overall look of interiors. Its modern kitchen is also another highlight of this property.
