Your arrival at The Warehouse
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Southern Cross Station, Melbourne → Geelong Station
💡 Buy a Myki card for the train—peak fares apply (cheaper after 9:30 am). From Geelong Station, it's a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute bus ride (route 30) to Seahaven.
Southern Cross Station, Melbourne → Geelong Station (then to Nireeda Hotel)
💡 From airport, catch the SkyBus to Southern Cross (20 mins, $19.50) then the train. Cheaper than a direct bus, and you dodge traffic. Use myki card for seamless ticketing.
Southern Cross Station, Melbourne CBD → Geelong Railway Station
💡 Get the Myki smartcard at Southern Cross – you can top up and tap on/off. Sit on the left side of the train for views of Corio Bay approaching Geelong. No direct airport connection; take the SkyBus from Tullamarine to Southern Cross first (20 minutes, $19.50).
Geelong Waterfront (Watershed stop) → Portarlington, then get off at Queenscliff
💡 Not useful for airport transfer or everyday local transit – it’s a heritage tourist tram. If your Airbnb is near the waterfront, use it for a scenic ride to the Bellarine wineries. Buy tickets online for a discounted return. Otherwise, use the local bus network (CDC Geelong) for daily hops.
Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) → Nireeda Hotel, Geelong
💡 Book with a local operator like Geelong Taxi Network for a fixed fare, no meter surprises. Pre-book to avoid surge pricing post-flight delays.
Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) → Airbnb in Geelong city centre
💡 Book via the 13cabs app for a fixed fare around $160; avoid flagging one at the rank – drivers there often charge surge rates. Request a sedan, not a maxi, unless you have lots of luggage.
Geelong Station → Seahaven Village
💡 Get off at 'Western Beach/Mornington Crescent' stop. Myki card is essential—drivers don't sell tickets. The bus is tight if you have luggage, so consider a quick taxi (about 8 AUD) if you're carrying bags.
Geelong Station → Nireeda Hotel (stop near LaTrobe Tce)
💡 Route 1 or 42 runs past Nireeda. Buy a myki card at the station and top up – the driver can’t give change. Walk from the stop if carting luggage; it’s a flat 5-minute stroll.
Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) → Geelong Station or Nireeda Hotel
💡 Buy tickets online for a small discount. Drop-off at Geelong Station means a short walk or taxi to Nireeda – ignore the hotel stop, it’s often a courtesy shuttle that takes longer.
Melbourne Airport (MEL) → Seahaven Village, Geelong
💡 Get off at Geelong Station, then it's a 15-minute walk or short taxi ride to Seahaven. The bus is cheaper than the SkyBus option but slower. Use the V/Line app for real-time tracking.
Melbourne Airport T4 bus bay → Geelong Railway Station
💡 Pre-book online for a guaranteed seat; on-board WiFi is patchy past Werribee. Bus drops you right at the station – from there it’s a 10–15 minute walk or short Uber to most Airbnbs in central Geelong.
Avalon Airport (AVV) → Seahaven Village, Geelong
💡 Book with local operators like Geelong Taxi or Uber; avoid airport rank taxis if possible—they often charge a premium. Confirm your booking the day before to avoid delays.
