Waurn Ponds Estate Information

Waurn Ponds Estate is a boutique conference venue and hotel nestled amongst expansive grounds on the doorstep to the Great Ocean Road. The Estate consists of 60 contemporary accommodation rooms, eight technology-rich conference spaces and extensive breakout areas, making it the ultimate venue for conferences and business events. The eight conference spaces at the Estate all feature sweeping views through floor to ceiling windows and state of the art AV equipment. They can accommodate anywhere from 10 people for a meeting, up to 154 theatre-style in the Torquay Room. Great food is a big part of what we do at the Estate and we’re proud to showcase this using local produce. The stunning Barrabool restaurant can cater for up to 70 seated guests and leads to the kitchen garden. The breakout areas and outdoor spaces at the Estate are perfect for hosting cocktail events and team building sessions. Have some downtime? Relax by our infinity pool and spa, enjoy a game of tennis, a workout in the gym or a stroll along one of our spectacular walking tracks. Stay at the Estate in one of the 60 accommodation rooms, most of which can be twinned. Featuring beautiful furnishings, king size beds, modern ensuites and gorgeous views, they are the perfect space to relax and unwind. Perfectly positioned in Deakin’s Geelong campus, the Estate is only 20 minutes from the Geelong CBD and an hour from Melbourne, providing an escape from the hustle and bustle.
