Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Kevin TBloomington, IN26 contributionsYou start in the welcome center with displays explaining local history, particularly shipping and local shipwrecks. Then you can walk through the well-maintained village. When we were there there were no costumed "interpreters," which worked out well for us, as interpreters make my wife uncomfortable. A bonus is the beautiful views of the coast below.Written 23 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sarah J42 contributionsLake Pertobe Adventure Playground is a great spot for families to spend some time outdoors. The playground has a variety of equipment suitable for kids of different ages, from swings to larger play structures. offering nice views and a relaxed atmosphere.
There are plenty of open spaces, picnic areas,, making it a good place for a casual day out. The area is well-kept, with easy access and parking nearby.

( we were lucky as we rocked up with no booking just before the entry).
The staff here all show so much care and respect for the animals. And it is very hands on with everyone getting to touch, hold and feel the animals ranging from snakes to lizards to wombats and kangaroos.

Access is easy regardless of your mobility. Unfortunately the whales are a law unto themselves and we saw none in late October.Written 24 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Norm the NomadAustralia1,299 contributionsIt has been quite a relaxed day, seeing the sights of Warrnambool. After our mandatory morning walk / breakfast / coffee, we set off for the day. First, the foreshore / breakwater area, where we saw Middle Island (the site for the filing of “Oddball” movie). A bit brisk and windy … so only a short stay.Written 1 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Paul LHallam, Australia996 contributionsA pleasant stroll in gardens that are larger than they first appear. Well kept with water features, rotunda, pathways and a few chairs this is a lovely green space several blocks away from the main tourist part of town (i.e. the coast) and it's pleasantly quiet.
Plenty of staff were in attendance upon my visit and it's obvious great care is taken of these gardens.Written 25 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DinoDiscoHorsham, Australia159 contributionsLots to look at here, plenty of stalls to look at. Unfortunately Darryl Kerrigan would be telling a lot of stall holders they are dreaming based on the prices. But I didn't see any jousting sticks or overhead projector for sale. Glad they are using the space but the long term future of the building is a worry.Written 1 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JeanE255346Ballarat, Australia16 contributionsGorgeous old cemetery well worth a wander! Slowly being brought back to life and thoughtfully maintained.

- Wayne DomaschenzBallarat, Australia403 contributionsThis beach gets well looked after by the local council with regular racking each day over summer. There are lots of parking areas nearby for access. There is a patrolled beach area near the surf club. There is a nice cafe at both ends and the popular breakwater to walk or fish from at the other endWritten 1 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
