About the host

Hosted by Denis

Host profile image
After several years using the app, and with a background in hospitality and customer service, it just seemed the logical step to becoming a host.

Why they chose this property

The area is quiet, just far enough to be away from the hustle and bustle but still so close to so many facilities, attractions and eateries.

What makes this property unique

A 2 minute drive from the Geelong Ring Rd and 5 minutes to the city centre. And there's plenty to explore in-between.
