Where to stay in Geelong and the Bellarine

Serendip Sanctuary is a great place to see Emus and Kangaroos in a 'wild' setting. They let many native animals roam free and you can just walk past them. They have a number of bird hides and enclosures where you can also see native animals. It's free to visit and is close to Lara train station.
