We loved our stay at Carisbrook Cottage, it was very homey and we felt welcomed, plus Barb & Barry were very helpful telling us where the best swimming spots were, we also enjoyed the many eateries in Queenscliff

Guest rating: 5/5 - Natalie & Margaret - VIC - February 12

We have stayed at Carisbrook Cottage so many times that it feels like ‘coming home’. It has such a homely feel with absolutely everything you need to enjoy a relaxing holiday by the beach. Great location, practical amenities with all the modern conveniences but most importantly the old world charm and hospitality that makes a good holiday GREAT. Excellent hosts Barb and Baz make sure even the weather is perfect! See you next year xxx

Our stay at Carisbrook Cottage is always a memorable one, which is why we continue to return year after year.  The cottage caters to all our needs and is like a home away from home.  The location is unbeatable and we are always assured that our stay in Queenscliff is a great one.

Really enjoyed our stay, one of the nicest budget places we've stayed in.  So many similar places eg. cabins in caravan parks, give only very basic supplies, nice coming here instead and finding a nice level of comfort, well stocked, at a fair price.  Great Location, Friendly hosts, Great BBQ & Laundry facilities.

We enjoyed our time at Carisbrook Cottage, it was just perfect for our needs on that weekend. We had babysitting duties to attend to and the 2nd bedroom with bed/cot and linen was perfect.  We were very impressed with the well stocked kitchen/fridge, made our stay most enjoyable, not to mention location, just perfect.

"All the way from Norway to lovely Queenscliff.
Carisbrook Cottage was a perfect location for celebrating Christmas. Quiet, clean and comfortable.
Barry, the owner, took us out on a ride in his 1935 convertible, he was the perfect tour guide.
If ever in the Melbourne area – visit Queenscliff and Carisbrook Cottage.
