The location in the middle of town and behind the shops couldn't be better. It was very central but there was no traffic noise. A comfortable, compact yet spacious-feeling unit. The washing machine was also very handy.

Convenient location
A nice quiet location to spend Easter away from the crowds. The cottage is small and comfortable, everything you need for a good weekend. Very convenient location for the rest of Queenscliff.
