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.

I love the guesthouse experience, interacting with the fellow residents. However I am not sure Aussies get it. It was nice to see this old building well maintained.

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!

Charming, Comfortable & Clean
Pros - Friendly and welcoming staff who showed us all the facilities, common rooms and took us straight to our room. - Convenient location - Beautiful building. Lots of art. Home feel. Cons - No lift - Parking can be difficult to find if arriving during mid to late afternoon where the town is buzzing with visitors.

Keeping up appearances
For an historic building, retaining most of its original features, the room I had was very clean, comfortable and warm. What's more in cold and rainy weather, it was bliss, having an electric blanket on the bed. The en-suite was modern and well appointed.

Fantastic guest house
Owners Helen and John were amazing. Helen stayed up until after 11 pm as we were delayed, to greet us. Our room was gorgeous. Fresh towels every day. Our bed was also made daily. Beautifully kept with all the old world charm of yesteryear. We would highly recommend Seaview house and will definitely be returning in the near future

Seaview B&B
Helen and John were superb as hosts, really felt like family and not guests. The rooms we were allotted were quite large with very comfortable beds and clean and tidy. Maid service is provided for the longer stays. The venue is quite old but doesn't have the appearance of neglect; very English B&B. No meals are available but there are plenty of dining options. There is a very good restaurant for dinner at very reasonable cost.
