We had an unforgettable stay at the RACV Resort in Torquay. The ocean view room was absolutely stunning and made our baby moon truly special. Dining was a treat with a beautiful setting, although I wish there were more breakfast options. The golf course and spa facilities added a luxurious touch to our experience, but I did find the restaurant service a bit slow at times. Overall, a fantastic getaway with amazing views and service that made us feel pampered.
