Our stay at Seaview House

Although a beautiful building from the outside, the Guest House is looking a bit tired on the inside. We never saw a single person neither hotel staff nor another guest during our stay, which made for a rather strange experience. The room was small but reasonably comfortable, the bathroom was a good size. Wifi ok, but not many power points in the room. Queenscliff itself is a gorgeous old-style Australian town with some interesting shops and beautiful buildings.

Cosy & a great location

It's not new nor modern, but Queenscliff is a quaint, historic destination anyway. Room was big enough for two,had a clean ensuite & a comfy bed. Hosts too were nice on arrival, what else could you ask for apart from a good rate. Well this too was at a great price, so 2 thumbs up!
