A charming, heritage-listed boutique hotel just off Queenscliff's main drag with exceptionally friendly staff, terrific breakfast choices included in room-rate and shared guest lounge plus open verandahs. We've stayed more than once---an atmospheric beach-side gem.

A pleasant stay at Athelstane House

The room #2, was clean and spacious with a private balcony accessed from the room. The breakfast was excellent served by friendly staff with access to outside tables if you prefer rather than to staying inside the breakfast room. The only mild criticism was that the bed was too soft for us as we are used to a much firmer bed.
