Welcome to Doongarra, a charming one-bedroom cottage in the heart of Queenscliff—perfect for a relaxed getaway for one or two guests.

Tucked just behind the historic Hesse Street shops, the cottage is ideally positioned within easy walking distance of cafés, restaurants, galleries, and local attractions, meaning you can park your car and explore everything on foot.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a cooktop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and island bench seating, making it easy to enjoy meals at home, or you can wander just minutes to nearby dining and the local brewhouse.

Set within a peaceful communal garden, Doongarra also offers private off-street parking and easy access from Learmonth Street, with pedestrian entry from Hesse Street.
