Unfortunately, due to the uniqueness of the accommodation, the locations of the bathroom and toilet require you to go up and down the stairs. If you have trouble with the spiral staircase, life would be a bit difficult. Even though the accommodation has 3 rooms, i would not recommend 3 couples staying because there's only one bathroom all the way at the 'basement'. The two room at the top are fine for winter but might be too hot in summer, and the room downstairs will be great in summer but is freezing in winter. The kitchen has no rangehood, and so if you want to really use the kitchen and whip out something fancier, the smoke will trigger the alarm. There is a BBQ on the balcony upstairs, but it would need to be cleaned to be used. This one thing didn't affect our stay, but I noticed in the main bathroom above the dryer there are some black dusty spots that might have accumulated throughout the years. Maybe that should be checked out in the future.

The fact that the accommodation used to be part of a ball room more than a century ago is very special, and the location of the apartment is great, literally in the centre of everything. We stayed at the room upstairs that overlooks ground floor, and the main heater was enough to make it very warm for us to sleep. The kitchen is very well equipped for a simple brekky with ample cooking utencils and serveware.

In a sensational location in Queenscliff this was a home away from home with all facilities that would be fantastic for a family with teenagers or especially for a group of adult friends who wished to give each other quiet space and privacy. An elegant variety of divided spaces in an historic setting. This is a holiday destination is so close to Melbourne but a world away in a timeless ocean seaside village. Need time to think? Need the ocean breeze in your face? Perfect! The lack of internet was an enforced a break from a digital life and step back in time and slowing of pace! The closeness to Geelong, a ferry ride to Sorrento-Portsea, big supermarkets in nearby Ocean Grove and the many galleries and things to do in this historic Queenscliff are advantages too. All communication with the owner was prompt, clear and supportive.

We would have liked better heating options for lower ground floor… bit chilly down there however, the bed was very warm once we were in bed… Perhaps another power point in the lower hallway for the heater… We were concerned about turning the heater on inside the bedroom…

Location great… No breakfast… but very close.

We found the spiral staircase tricky, especially carrying luggage up and down. Bedroom on lower level was dark and confining and no fresh air. Pillows were disappointing. However, bathroom was spotlessly clean.

Property was an interesting building on 3 levels and in a great location, right behind the Vue Grand Hotel. Owners offered use of pantry which was a nice touch. Wide variety of teas and coffee machine provided.

Pillows were a little flat, but everyone has different comforts. Car parking space was small for our dual cab, neighbours accommodated us a space.Gate remote on hook in kitchen, took us a minute to find.

The apartment was well located and clean, close to main shops, within walking distance. The apartment was big enough for 3 couples (6 people) it had everything we needed. One bedroom upstairs has a glass wall overlooking the main area. It wasn't a problem for us as air conditioning flowed into our room. The beds were comfortable. Bathroom wall semi opaque, but we worked around it. Leif is a great host and will accommodate anything you need. We had a great time staying here and in Queenscliff.

Fantastic facilities, in a beautiful building which had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The location was also great as we could walk everywhere.

Spiral stairs were a little more ‘challenging’ than expected especially when taking luggage up to the bedrooms.

Excellent location, quirky and comfortable. Lots of added extra eg bathroom products, kitchen & pantry ,print, excellent, helpful communication with Leif

Location, was right in the centre, easily accessible.

Stairs 1 bathroom only

Great location Well supplied little extras Great rooftop area with barbecue

The stairs would be tricky if you had mobility issues, and the main bathroom being on the ground floor with two bedrooms on the second floor was odd (but not a reason to not to stay there).

The location was terrific with everything in walking distance and the apartment is a great combination of spacious and cosy, with the heating working really well. The beds were really comfortable, the shower pressure was awesome, and the kitchen was really well stocked with all the essentials.
