geelong & great ocean road visitor information centre

Like many of the visitor centers, this location had a person familiar with the area that could give some tips on what to see and what to avoid. We found all of the visitor centers helpful.

Brilliant , helpful knowledgeable staff, well stocked with maps, brochures also offers free wifi. Open all day staffed by very friendly volunteers

Always go to an information centre to find out what is in the area , they are amazing.They will give you maps and places of interest

Great venue, lots of interesting information available and helpful staff. PArking your car can be difficult - have gold coins

Set in the carpark of a petrol station, this 'Information Centre' is a joke, Geelong is the largest rural town in Victoria but there are so many more better Info Centres in towns a tenth the size, whatever happened to internet, phone, fax, toilet facils - thought these were all required for a yellow 'i' centre. Perhaps Mr. Grant sets his own rules ? He has been in the job long enough to know what cuts it and what doesn't, why does he continually operate on the cheap ?

It is so nice to enter a visitor centre and be immediately welcomed by customer service staff with a smile. We were seeking a walking map which was produced, followed by questions on how long were we in Geelong and what other information did we require. The Botanical Gardens were highlighted as a 'must see' and also the Art Gallery was identified on the map. Our proposed walking circuit which included Eastern Beach, Cunningham Pier, Eastern Park, Gardens and Gallery was confirmed as being sufficient to keep us busy for the 5 hours that were spending in Geelong.

we are so very glad we stopped in as Lyn told us so many places we would not have know about and missed some very unique experiences. We have been stopping at visitor centres ever since, thanks!

We found the Tourist info centre to be jam packed with information on things to do in Geelong and the surrounding area region, including the great ocean road. We walked out with bulging pockets of maps and brochures and with plans to return to the area as we needed much more time to explore. Very helpful.

The visitor centre at the BP station on the Princess Highway, was beyond amazing!My friend and I were heading to Torqua to drive the Great Ocean Road, and although we'd looked at maps and had a GPS, we were kind of clueless!Thank goodness we needed to use a bathroom! We spotted the info centre and went inside hoping to grab a clearer map than the one we had, but we got so much more than that!I really wish I'd got the name of the guy that helped us - he was British (as are we) so it was really nice to her a familiar accent!He gave us loads of maps, told us some invaluable information and guided us through the length of the GOR.We saw a wild koala, some kangaroos on a golf course, fed some lorekeets, stopped at tons of vantage points with AMAZING views we just wouldn't have known about had it not been for this lovely man.We thank him soooooo much for the information he gave us, and DEFINITELY recommend the Geelong & Great Ocean Road Visitor Information Centre to EVERYONE!!!(there is a lovely little cafe/shop and a fresh fruit and veg shop also on site)
