Impeccably clean, incredible views and hospitable hosts. A great place to stay for a while and not just stop through on your trip down the Great Ocean Road.


Very nice place, enjoyed the sunrise, beautifully located, was a wonderful experience.


Communication is effective with Sam as it is self check-in. Very spacious place indoor and outdoor as well as abundant of toys for the kids to play - a very nice getaway without wifi. The house came with a well-equipped kitchen that we were able to make dinner and breakfast. The location is approximately 15minutes from Apollo Bay. Overall a very nice place if going on GOR trip.


great locationïŒ ocean view, the room is nice and tidy, Sam replied the message very quick . Definitely will be back for longer stay and highly recommended!


Seacroft Studio was absolutely stunning, the view from the kitchen is breathtaking. Highly recommend this cozy apartment!!


It was a great stay !


Amazing and unique airbnb. The place has been respectfully restored to retain the ambience of the old chapel but opened up to take advantage of wonderful vistas. The main bed is very comfortable and the monastic side bed rooms add to the historic experience. Beautiful beachside walk (we saw a seal on the rock platform) and waterfall nearby too. Sam came by in the morning for a friendly chat and let us feed the alpacas.


Sam was easy to talk to, check in was super easy. Location 10/10, amazing view, nice and warm and perfect to stay if youâre visiting great ocean road!


Liked · love the location- itâs away from the crowds in Apollo Bay and right across from the ocean

Liked · Warm welcoming place to come into at night. Lovely living area with cosy fireplace. Thankyou for upgrading us to give our family the extra space. The place made our holiday really special with such beautiful outlooks, and all the essentials to make our stay comfortable.

A lovely, solid home away from home. East to find, easy check-in, plenty of space, comfortable beds, and a very well-equipped kitchen. No TV or wifi, so itâs the perfect place for a âscreen holidayâ. Recommended!


Great views!


Very sweet little stay. Fantastic location, very comfortable bed and wouldnât even know there were other people on the property. Hosts kindly turned heating and lamps on before our arrival which was lovely and very welcoming. Would love to come back here!


PERFECT little spot on the way down the Ocean Road. Check in was seamless, accomodation was lovely and quaint! Sam is incredibly helpful and made a plan for us when we got stuck with some admin things! Would highly recommend!


Really enjoyed our stay.
EV charger only works when there is surplus power on the site from solar, which never happened while we were there as it was overcast.
Heater was on when we got there which was a very nice touch, and beds. Very warm, despite it being a very cold night outside.
Kids couldnât use the slide that is in photos as it is connected to another room.
Gorgeous views.


Liked · The views, atmosphere and wonderful owners. Disliked · Didnât realise the shared bathrooms (which were very clean) were actually separate to the rooms (ie walk outside to get to them). Not a major concern but not quite what I was expecting. Everything else was amazing.

Fantastic views. Really unique place and enjoyable stay! Kids loved seeing the alpacas.


Liked · Bed was super comfy, beautiful views, location is a little out of town but we knew this and came prepared with food etc that we needed for our stay. Nice hot shower.

Sam and Barry were great hosts who went above and beyond to welcome us and encouraged us to explore the beautiful property. The studio is clean, warm, and the king bed was a real treat! The kitchen is well equipped and feels brand new, Sam and Barry can easily help you get anything else you might need. There isn't really a living room area so much as there is a therapist chair in the kitchen. But the 2 sets of outdoor furniture are lovely.
This place was perfect for our short stay and I would recommend this to anyone going down the coast.


Such a beautiful place to stay, so peaceful with stunning views of the ocean. The cottage had everything we needed and more to relax, cook and experience a comfortable stay. We loved the wood fire and the super king bed was so comfortable we slept so well!
The kids loved the Alpacas and the wide open spaces!
Sam and her Partner are warm, friendly, helpful hosts.
Did I mention We loved the ocean views!! We would definitely recommend Sam and her estate for a refreshing getaway. Thanks so much!


Breath taking views and tranquility. We loved our overnight stay and will recommend to others.


An absolutely lovely and cosy little cottage in a beautiful part of the world, and our hosts were equally lovely.
Arriving on a rainy, cold winter's night to enter a warm cheery cottage was a perfect welcome, with everything we needed for our stay there.
Ocean views and ocean sounds made for a really good night's sleep. Being introduced to the family Alpaca's was an enjoyable bonus as well.
Many thanks for having us,
We look forward to a chance to return.


absolutely adored my stay! J will definitely be back! such a treasure along the great Ocean road. Wish I could've stayed longer


It is in an excellent location and has a great view. The house was also really tidy.
Sam is a great communicator, so I was happy to talk with him. There was nothing to complain đ


Liked · Awesome location and the hosts are really lovely people. I loved learning a bit about the history of the old monastery and some of its cool stories such as bottles of wine hidden in ceilings đ·đ

We spent two nights at Seacroft. The Bay View room was beautiful, had character and had amazing views of the ocean from the living area and bedroom. The estate has beautiful grounds, well kept and is very peaceful. The location is amazing, not only for the breathtaking views, but for being a short drive from Apollo Bay, the Otways and Lorne. Definitely a memorable getaway on the Great Ocean Road. Thank you


We booked with Sam for my son and his partner who are visiting from the US. They loved the accommodation and the location was beautiful.


So easy!
Easy check in and a fuss free stay in a lovely location. Great views and a lovely warm chapel on arrival. Thanks Sam!


The Seacroft Studio is one of those very special places where you can relax, feel at home and spend time doing what you love. Some highlights included the filtered water (super delicious!), the heater being on when we arrived late one winter afternoon, the comfortable king size bed and the roar of the ocean not far away. I highly recommend this place, and will certainly be back myself.


This place is magic. The treehouse is a beautiful, cosy, and special room with the most fantastic view. Sam was lovely and the history of this estate is awesome. Sugarloaf is magical! Would 100% recommend.


Amazing place

Lovely stay, beautiful spot.


The cabin/room we had was very beautifully decorated and the bedroom was fabulous. It was a very cold night but we managed to get the rooms warmed. The heaters were on when we got there. Lovely views from the window but the weather was atrocious that night.
The photos on the website implicated that we would have a verandah and wide views of the bay so we found that misleading and were disappointed that we had a room further back in the complex. It was such bad weather that in the end it didn't matter.


Views were fantastic!


it is a cosy place with a nice and peaceful view!


Place was spacious and was equipped with activities you can enjoy with a big group.
There was a big spider in the activity room
Nothing major.. just creeped us out..


Wow the best facilities and very accomadating


We had a great stay in the Treehouse!
The room is cozy with a great view - I would recommend leaving large bags in your care as there isn't much space for luggage. The main building has a lovely fireplace, a table tennis table, lots of board games to play and a large kitchen.
If you are staying in the Treehouse don't forget to put up the "Private" sign unless you want to be woken up by kids excited to play on the slide.
The hosts are lovely and maintain a presence on the property so they are super easy to reach if you need anything.
The location is fantastic and there's plenty to do around the area and great restaurants in Apollo Bay (which is just 17 mins down the road).
Overall a thoroughly enjoyable stay!


Hands down my favourite place to stay on the entire Great Ocean Road! Beautiful accommodation, huge comfortable bed, warm rooms, and gorgeous views all around. I couldn't recommend this place higher, this is the second time I've stayed here and I will definitely be back.


Great amenities, absolutely beautiful location, very comfortable room. We had a wonderful stay. Highly recommend!


So lucky we find Sam's place at the last mins during long weekend. really had a great time there. especially kids welcome ocean view cottage. Heaps of kids toys and books to choose from. Highly recommend to the family with young children.


Thanks so much Sam and Family for allowing us to stay in such a beautiful location. We loved our stay with beautiful views, the animals and great location. The cottage was so cosey and relaxing and the kids loved the toys and location too. We would recommend this location to any family looking for a special place to stay, we are sure you will love the location and cottage as much as we all did. Alex and Family đđ


Certainly a unique stay in a converted chapel. The four poster bed is in the main open living area (at the rear, photos donât really show that), with three small single bedrooms off the side. âLuxuryâ might be overstating things, but the place was clean and neat, the shower was hot, and beds comfortable. The best part was the gorgeous location and the ocean view.


Enchanting.
a special place above the wild coast. Warm, all the necessary extras for cooking, comfy big bed and wifi for movies


Location


Itâs a perfect location and such a wonderful building. The value, cleanliness, view, everything was fantastic. Even though the weather was hectic it was a beautiful place to listen to the rain and waves. We would love to come back.


Sam's accommodation was super cozy, warm and comfortable. It was quiet as it was outside of Apollo Bay but close enough such that stocking up was not difficult at all. The view out the windows was beautiful.
There was also a good selection of books to read. Would definitely stay again.


A gorgeous place. Very special experience staying here. highly recommend.


This is a really beautiful, cosy place to stay in a magic spot. And itâs hard to think of a more comfortable king-sized bed, itâs heaven!


Views are amazing. A beautiful part of the world and some beautiful accomodation. Bonus alpacas.


Wow this is a magical place. A beautiful location and the views are magnificent.
The bed was so comfortable and beautifully decorated.
It was such a nice touch to arrive to a warm room - I was arriving a little later and Sam so kindly had the heating on so that was lovely.
The bathtub was great and small kitchen had what I needed for the short stay.
I really enjoyed my coffee outside on the deck and soaking up the beautiful energy of this place and its surrounds.
Thank you Sam - You're a lovely and genuine host - I really felt so great here.


Exactly as described!
The room in tiny but the view is grand!


A gorgeous spot, with a spectacular outlook and good facilities.
Not all the bells and whistles of some BnBs, (donât expect TVs, and other superfluous stuff!) but the destination is the hero. The alpacas are very cute and approachable and are great sports, the beach is pristine and fascinating, the sunrises sublime. Sam is a wonderful helpful host who filled us in on the history of the Redemptorists and invited us to âexploreâ the complex which was appreciated! Wish it were closer to home, it would be a regular haunt! Great days!


It was an amazing trip same as last time. We will come back again!


What an absolute gem, such a gorgeous place.
The beds were so comfy, the place has amazing views, such a great place to wake up and have a coffee at the breakfast bar saying hi to the Alpacas


A wonderful spacious chapel with breathtaking views amongst nature. The perfect stop on your journey through the great ocean drive.


great property with beautiful views. the lounge area was great to enjoy the views and chat to other guests.

Great little getaway đ Thanks for having us đđŒ


Amazing views, particularly enjoyed watching the sunrise. Set up well with easy check in.


Great location and the hosts were warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this place to the Airbnb community.


A location where the dreams and reality meets. Opportunity to witness the best sunrise view along great ocean road from the dinning table while having morning coffee and in day time we had some feeding time with the Alpacas.
A farm view on the rear and a sea view in the front. This place is full with great moments.


We had a short stay at Sugarloaf, very cosy and comfortable and our host Sam was great. Our young daughter even got to feed some alpaccas while she was there, which was great fun! Would definitely stay there again. đ


everythink was perfect great location ,,beautiful cosy room listening to the waves while I sleep peacefully, the facilities in the guests kitchen was amazing had everything to cook your own meal and then relax with some downtime ,I felt like I was staying at a river cottage surrounded by farm life ,, canât wait to stay again amazing


Beautiful location & great guesthouse! Highly recommended!


Such an incredible place with the best views, and such a beautiful building. The four poster bed was soo (too?!) comfy đ


Great view with a comfortable bed!


The most beautiful, neat and amazing place to visit.


Beautiful location, amazing views. Perfect space for a quiet evening watching the sunset on the balcony with wine and cheese or cups of tea. Super clean, beautiful big bed, very cosy. Easy check in and out.


You can feel the love that has gone into this place. Quirky, full of personality.
Very relaxing after a big day on the road.
Nice little extras.


Samâs place is amazing! Very tranquil, the perfect place to relax for an extended weekend - keep in mind that photos do not do this place justice. The sweeping views of the ocean are amazing!! The house is also very adequately equipped (emphasise on the very), keep in mind thereâs also a coffee vending machine in the shed!!


The villa is spacious and clean. The location is also fabulous with beautiful sceneries: mountain, forest and ocean.
None.


Small room, but very beautiful view!


This little cottage is very comfortable, with a very comfortable king sized bed , excellent heating and a big bathtub, our host Sam was very welcoming


What a beautiful spot right on the Great Ocean Road. Samâs communication was excellent and check in was simple. A great cosy getaway on the Great Ocean Road.


Our family recently had a family reunion for a 40th and 50th celebration. Seacroft is an amazing venue to gather with a family group. There is endless green space outdoors and indoor space for the kids to roam and play freely.There is accommodation to suit all tastes and for each family to have their privacy. We had the Belle tent which was exceptional and completely cosy with electric blankets. The ocean views from the estate are unbeatable and the host Sam and her family are incredible.They arrived with lucerne so all of the kids could hand feed the alpacas and were a wealth of information about the history of the area.We enjoyed beach and waterfall hikes and fishing from the property, nights around the fire and endless games on the lush green playfield. We even found a gorgeous koala on the edge of the property.In my families view you couldn't have a better location to gather together with your family.Seacroft is absolutely amazing and suits all ages. Do yourself a favour and book a gathering there.


Cheap, basic, but very good value. Views spectacular- the property is superbly located with a 180 degree vista of the sea. Grounds are very well maintained. Rooms minimalist but comfortable. Very friendly people. Shared kitchen very large.


We booked Seacroft for a big family get together. We could not have found a better place. Perfect for large groups. Our group included around 20 kids and they had an absolute ball. Large outdoor spaces for playing and games... great indoor spaces for gathering... table tennis pool..trampoline...And the views...amazing. Highly recommend this place for a big get together.


Spectacular views and beautifully restored chapel. Loved the quirky lay out and private porch to enjoy the ocean vista. The accommodation was immaculately clean and spacious in the main room/hall. Three bedrooms perfect for kids. If travelling with another couple I recommend booking one of the other rooms which are close and gives access to the common spaces and bathroom. We really enjoyed our stay at Seacroft and will definitely rebook in the future. Communication with Sam was clear and staff working on the premises friendly and helpful. 5 stars


Great place, lovely sunset


Cute little studio, had a lovely time. Very peaceful with a view of the ocean and the alpacas.


Location is perfect! The tent was absolutely beautiful and the place is perfect for a romantic getaway!


Absolutely loved our stay in the chapel. The setting and view were absolutely spectacular. The chapel was perfectly clean, lots of great touches, huge comfy bed, great kitchen, big bath. We loved it.


An incredibly beautiful view from this unique property... location up there with the best!!! I would recommend this air bnb to anyone.
It's a 10 from me.


Good place in the heart of great ocean road . The ocean view was the best part


Very simple accom, great shared facilities in an excellent location with an amazing panoramic view of the coastline. So peaceful. Kids loved the alpacas!


Overall a lovely place in a beautiful location.


Such a beautiful wake up view with the ocean & llamas! Make sure you bring winter-Woolies though!!!! Electric blanket is the best thing for a cosy nights sleep!


Seacroft Estate is an absolutely amazing property. Perfect for any function. The views are stunning and has a wide range of accomodation to suit all needs. I definitely recommend it to others.


Amazing place for a weekend break!!!


This house is middle of nowhere but with beautiful scenes. Itâs facing the ocean, you can wake up seeing the beautiful sunrise and llamas. Itâs not far from Apollo bay or Lorne. You can have a quiet relaxing stay. The only thing some people probably need to concern is the water, itâs filtered rain water.


Gorgeous location and hosts


Thereâs no WiFi so enjoy each otherâs company and nature in beautiful settings.
The shower and toilet facilities are unisex and located in an external building.


We arrived super dark at night, werenât entirely sure what to think and then we opened the door to our lovely quaint hug comfy bedded room, it was like stepping back in time with a modern touch. The next morning we then found the huge kitchen with all the things we needed for cooking and making a cup of tea or coffee ( coffee/ tea being provided), we then found the massive old style lounge and sitting area and in the next room leading us to a room with windows facing these incredible marsh lands and the beautiful mystical ocean with this gleamy cloud feeling that left you warm and took your breath away. Later we went outside before checking out to meet the lovely owners and seen the cows and coffee area where we had a coffee and looked at the hills, road, ocean and even alpacas. We truly loved our stay and wonât hesitate to book again. Thanks again guys for such a unique cool experience.Nastazja and Zack from Poland and Canada

This is a great stay! The room was comfortable and clean. The location was amazing. The common areas were spacious and nice. This was a great stop to start our long weekend.


Thanks for the nice stay.


Great spot and amazing views! Recommend!


Lovely place


Beautiful place to stay!!!


Very comfortable bed, great location, highly recommended


We loved our stay at Sam place!


Absolutely amazing view!


Amazing location. Loved the sunrise and sunset. Lovely grounds/surrounds.
Lovely space for the family to spread out! Kitchen well stocked with utensils. Thanks for a lovely stay


Great cottage to stay!


Very friendly, accommodating, and excellent views


Come for the views and enjoy them most at sunrise.
This was my second time at Seacroft and I will be back again!


Beautiful location overlooking the sea
Very relaxing
Great facilities


Sam is quick to respond to any questions. I had no issues dealing with him.


This is one of the best airbnb's I have stayed at. It is nestled along the best piece of scenery along the Great Ocean Road; stunning mountains behind you, violent antarctic waves crashing in front of you. The studio is a modern upgrade on a historic church, with a unique combination of antique and high-tech sculptural furniture (see Mirror with light). A smart well-designed kitchen and the best balcony view you are ever likely to experience.


An amazing space, so cozy to cuddle up in a warm bed and just listen to the waves at night! Highly recommend!


Great accommodation, easy to find, description was accurate. Everything was clean. We got to enjoy a quiet night, waking up to an amazing view of the sunrise! Thank you, Sam.


Great rural location. Very comfortable beds. Proximal to a wild coastline. All requirement we needed were present.


View is amazing, location is great. Everything was spotless and lovely. Couldn't recommend any more


Wow - what a special view to wake up to! Very warm and cosy, even on a cool night. Hot showers steps away from the tree house. Amazingly well-equipped kitchen; if we stayed again weâd bring ingredients to cook with.


This is the second time we have brought a large group to stay at Seacroft for a weekend and both times have surpassed our expectations. We were having a big birthday celebration and the place was perfect. It has so much character and soul and Sam and her team went out of their way to present the place perfectly and accommodate our wishes. Ignore the negative reviews below which appear to be from people who don't read what Seacroft is all about. As long as you actually understand that this isn't a hotel, it's a converted ex monastery with simple rooms which have been tastefully restored. They are very clean, very comfortable and it's just so much fun to share this place and its charm with a group of friends. Most rooms share bathroom facilities, which again, is very clear on the website and are also clean and simple. It's not about 5 star luxury (thank god!) - it's about the stunning location, the million dollar views and sunrises and sunsets, and it's about the large communal spaces to hang out with friends and enjoy being able to have a place completely to yourselves to relax, or party or both. Thank you so much Sam and can't wait for the next opportunity to enjoy a weekend at Seacroft!


Samâs place has very nice deco and an amazing view! I loved waking up with the ocean changing its look under different weather đ The house is clean and quiet and great for a lil get away holiday!


Nice view


It was exactly like the photos,
3 single beds in really small bedrooms & a big double bed in the centre of the room.
Easy to find and was a comfy sleep.
There are other people on the property but they didnt bother us at all.


Great location for great ocean road travellers!


We had our wedding at Seacroft in February and absolutely loved it. We had 50 guests staying on-site with us, with a further 70 staying in the nearby towns of Skenes Creek and Apollo Bay. It was absolutely perfect for us â we wanted something that felt more like a party than a wedding and the big grassy field, the rustic bar, the chapel and the common areas allowed us lots of flexibility. Because of the strong wind, we had to pivot last minute and have our ceremony in the chapel instead of outside but honestly, it was so much better. The views are absolutely incredible, everyone was raving about what a beautiful venue it was. Our guests all said the beds were comfortable and were fine with using the communal bathrooms. Our room was beautiful and made for a great place to get ready before the wedding. While we did have a two-hour blackout from 10pm to midnight (not ideal but also not Seacroft's fault, as the entire coast experienced it too), Sam and her husband were straight over with lanterns, we used a portable speaker and the party was able to continue. If you want a low-key, affordable and easy wedding, we highly recommend Seacroft.


My husband and I got married at Seacroft on the 12th of Feb, 2022. It was simply the most amazing weekend. Seacroft is an incredibly unique wedding venue, and it was so fun to be married here. Sam is extremely accommodating, and the flexibility of the venue meant that we could have our dream wedding: outdoor ceremony, reception under a marquee, and even a food truck! The highlight of the wedding was the clean and thoughtful accommodation, meaning that our wedding guests could stay for the entire weekend. The night before the wedding, everybody utilized the great common areas, such as the pool table and table tennis table, and we even made dinner for about 30 people in the shared kitchen. My bridesmaids and I got ready in the lovely Seacroft Studio, which had plenty of space and options for hair and makeup, as well as a fridge and small kitchen for platters and mimosas. A highlight was spending our first night as a married couple in the beautiful Lola Belle tent, which was spacious and clean. I couldn't recommend Seacroft enough for a unique wedding experience, especially as Sam is such a great host.


Our stay at Seacroft was so peaceful. The place was clean and the bed was so comfortable. Waking up to that view was the highlight.
Would highly recommend staying here.

It was reallly a amazing stay . We enjoyed a lot specially the location of tent . Everything was perfect . I highly recommend everyone to stay once if you going that way .


Fabulous location for walks, swims, salty sea air and serenity. Quick hop into Apollo Bay and lots of nice walks nearby like Carisbrook Falls and Kennett River. Great accommodation for families and plenty of space.


Cannot recommend enough. I am contemplating turning it into a regular retreat. Exactly as pictured. I got the promised sunrise (even when one of it was a rainy morning). I have nothing else to say. Decision to spend my birthday on the treehouse is the best one yet!


Great great location ! Magical and authentic at the very best!


Wonderful place and warm welcome.


Very beautiful property. Quiet and tranquil.
Very easy check in.


Had a great stay at Seacroft. Our room was easy to find and access. Well kept and a beautiful view of the water from the porch.


Was an amazing experience. Thankyou soo much.


Quirky little find... King bed very comfortable. Spectacular views. Kitchen provided everything plus more. Loved our stay, will return with a larger group. Thank you.


it was very very very clean !
confortable hot water, beautiful view !


Basic room (what more do you really need), but lovely huge kitchen and shared living areas, clean shower/toilet area, great location and a fantastic view and all just a couple mins walk to the beach!!! Would love to visit in the depths of winter!!


Incredible views from the communal lounge area.


really nice and clean area. everything is given but bring your own washing sponge


Cheese and wine on the deck was magic with the best view of our entire trip. Stunning.
The church conversion is a little quirky with all the single rooms opening onto the main bedroom space. Make sure you are sharing with close friends or family for this one.
Highly recommend the accommodation for the view from the deck alone. Hope to be back.


Wonderful place to stay. Luxurious king bed was a highlight. Views of the green fields and ocean. Well-sized bath. Place was clean and comfortable, perfect for two people. Something to note is that cottage is connected by a wall to another cottage on the right, and to the left many people staying in multiple rooms. Despite this, the home was peaceful and quiet overnight. Short walk to the beach. Great location close to Apollo Bay. Highly recommend.


Sitting inside or outside watching the sea and sky change was absolutely magic.


By far the best value for money in the region. Will definitely stay there again!
Nothing. Maybe internet?


Everything was perfect and cosy! Highly recommended!


Gorgeous spot for a couples getaway


The treehouse had a fantastic view to the ocean. We woke up to a gorgeous sunrise. Check in and communication were smooth. Sam was nice and friendly. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a lovely stay, Sam!


Couldnât be happier with the stay! Was beautiful to wake up to the wildlife and the ocean! Great little stay! Will definitely be back!!!


Super good location, this stay has everything we needed for our little stop in Port Campbell. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom is functional. Conveniently step out of your room and have a drink or a meal in the pub area. Nice party vibes on weekend!


Very comfortable clean room. Facilities very good, beautiful shared kitchen area


The location is quiet and hearing the waves was lovely. The kids enjoyed the little extras around the cottage for their entertainment, as well as the trampoline outside.


A great place for a 1 night stay. Nice and close to Apollo Bay and nice and easy to check in đ


An amazing place to stay.. Location is unbelievable. Iâve spent quality time there. Kitchen has all the utensils, pots and coffee&tea etc which was really convenient
definitely recommending. đ


Highly recommend the treehouse accomodation. Small but personal with great views and very romantic. Great space for great price

Quiet and peaceful lovely accomodation


Seacroft Estate was the first place I've stayed at on the Great Ocean Road that brought tears to my eyes to leave. The view of the studio deck is unbelievably beautiful, and for a place so close to the main road it's very peaceful there. The hosts are friendly, and the location is so close to the beach, too. We had a moment of confusion upon arrival - we had opted not to stop in at Lorne for a coffee, both tired from the drive, since the listing mentioned the studio having one. We were disappointed to find that there wasn't one in the room, but a communal paid coffee machine on site. We didn't mind paying the $2 per cup though, and it was quite good coffee!


Absolutely amazing! Beautiful location to watch the sunrise over the ocean without leaving the bed! Highly recommend!


We spent 5 days in the ocean view cottage and loved our time there. Our boys were well entertained with the toys, trampoline and amazing grass to run around on. Having some technology free time was so relaxing and with a collection of books and games the time went quickly. The rock pool across the road and beach was well loved by us too.


Beautiful setting


Amazing view and great service. We will definitely come back again.


Absolutely loved it! Amazing stay and beautiful view!


Excellent value with great ocean views from the tree house


This place is absolutely gorgeous. We got here just after tea and the sunset was stunning. The cottage was cosy and well appointed. All the facilities were exceptionally clean and the best was extremely comfy. Perfect for our family of 3.


Stunning views from your private oasis overlooking the ocean and a family of gorgeous Llama.
Everything was so clean and the grounds were beautiful.


A very neat and clean property.
Did not face any issue during the stay.
Surely recommended! Its located only 15 minutes away from Apollo bay!


A nice place in a beautiful location


Fantastic place the stay! Great views from within the cottage of the ocean and hills and cows in the distance. The king bed was very comfy and the property itself was great to explore as well as the beach across the road. A good base to explore Apollo Bay and other great stops along the Great Ocean Road. As others have noted there are other cottages/accommodation on the same property but we found it to still be very private. We hope to stay again. Thanks Sam


Great view.


Place was surrounded by beautiful scenery. I recommend this place everyone.


the room was at advertised. we had everything we needed for our two night stay. Seacroft Estate is within easy driving distance from Apollo Bay, and the surrounding areas attractions.
The price is comparable to cabins within Apollo Bay, but Sam's cottage offer much more privacy, cleanliness and charm.
It certain we will be staying in the Seacroft Estate on out next visit to Apollo bay.


I had a three night mid week break from the city in the Seacroft studio. It was very clean and comfortable with all the basic facilities, although there was no coffee plunger.
The bed was large and very comfortable as well. There is a great view of the ocean up and down the coastline from the private deck out front. Perfect for an apero in the evening.
Ideal for 1 or 2 people for a short stay.


Nice place away from busy hustle.


Great place to stay on your drive along the Great Ocean Road. Really loved waking up to a view of the ocean. Check in was easy and great facilities for cooking and relaxing. Would definitely recommend!


Epic view for breakfast. Thanks for hosting us!


cosy room with an unforgettable view. really great value for money and a must-stay


Great location, facilities, view and great value! Everyone was lovely đ


Great location near Apollo bay


Come for the view, stay for the cozy space.
Honestly, everything about this stay was great and simple. I'm already considering a return trip!


We enjoyed staying at Samâs place. Location is excellent. The house is very clean and had all required amenities as mentioned.


The communal lounge area was really homely and had a wonderful view. Enjoyed reading books from the library and playing ping pong. There were many lovely spots on the property to hang out and picnic on. We had a picnic under a tree nxt to a herd of Alpaca's. Like sitting with unicorns đ Short stroll to the lovely secluded beach. Bliss đ
Bed was not firm enough and mattress was sunken on one side. Perhaps its time to get a new mattress?


Beautiful location and room was very nice. Private beach. Every window has a view. Bed is comfortable.
No coffee, sugar or milk. Only tea.


Samâs care and passion for the restoration and history of the place is wonderful
We were so happy we stayed and will definitely return


Second time here. Tranquil and peaceful, a great place to anchor down for a few days. Generally quiet. Beautiful view of the the beach, and easy access too. Great for seaside walks/hiking. The kids loved the farm animals and the trampoline.
One shower needs to have stronger pressure. Otherwise, good.


Location, location, location. On the brow of a hill overlooking one of the finest coastlines in the world. The value comes from what you see and feel.


Great place to stay for the night whilst we were driving down the great ocean road. It is quite a family orientated place so expect lots of kids running around


Beautiful accomodation, with amazing views and a really lovely vibe.
The only thing that would have made our stay perfect would be a fan in the room. It was slightly warm and while the window with the seabreeze was lovely, it wasnât quite enough air flow.


Everything was great
Nothing


An absolutely gorgeous location that was worth much more than what we paid for, so easy to get to Apollo Bay and Lorne nearby. The room was clean and homey, and all the facilities were super clean and handy for our trip. We had a lovely time, and will definitely consider staying here again! Thank you!


Fantastic location, great amenities, warm feel.


The View from the treehouse was so beautiful


This felt like having your own holiday shack by the sea. Generally quiet, with access to a beautiful beach. Overall a good experience!
Hard to say... maybe needs a lick of paint?


The lotus belle tent was lovely. It was a very unique experience which is exactly what we wanted when booking. The tent itself is very luxurious for camping. Think âglampingâ But the rest of the facilities I would not think âPure Luxuryâ as the title suggests. With the shared kitchen, bathroom/toilets - think school camp or hostel. It was definitely different to what I had in mind. But like I said, the tent was lovely, the rest of the facilities not so much.
The bed was comfortable, the view was great and it wasnât too hot or cold. I would recommend and we would stay again.


Excellent experience đ„


The place is really nice and cozy, great for 2 people.
The studio was nice and clean which I loved. it also has a play area for kids and a lot of green area. a cafe that's right there with goof coffee prices.
Has a great view. we really enjoyed having our meals outside.
There is a beach close by that you could walk/drive to. it takes about a minute. its nice and quite if you want a private beach but it is rocky but still very beautiful.


Such a paradise! We had a beautiful and relaxing five days here and left feeling rejuvenated. The extra touches for our daughter, like the trampoline and the toys in our cottage, made life easy too. Thanks guys, we will be back!


What an amazing place in a wonderful location, where the forest meets the ocean. The estate is set out on beautiful grounds and the owners were very inviting. Well worth it!


Incredible views and great location close to Apollo Bay.
The three bedrooms off the main room were tiny with single beds which was a bit of a surprise but the beds were comfortable and were sufficient for our needs.
By comparison the living space was absolutely massive and created a lovely quiet space to relax. BYO board games- thereâs no TV. But who needs TV when you have the GOR literally on your doorstep


What a beautiful place. Cant wait until our return.


Seacroft Estate was excatly what we expected. Pituresque location with everything we required for a short stay.
