The green state of Victoria in southeastern Australia is home to a variety of landscapes. Its most famous city has to be its capital, Melbourne. A beloved destination for locals, backpackers, and visa-holders alike, Melbourne attracts the interest of coffee lovers and street art aficionados. It steers the attention of the masses who are intrigued by its European feel. However, if you’re looking for a more authentic Australian experience, drive 46 mi (74 km) southwest towards Geelong. Overlooking Stingaree Bay, Geelong has a characteristic seaside town vibe with a small harbour, a beach, an enclosed sea pool, and even a carousel for the younger ones. Consider renting a cabin in and around Geelong, either by the coast or in a more secluded rural setting. Scroll down to find the top cabin accommodations near Geelong, Australia.
