Established in 1888, The Queenscliff Hotel is a heritage-listed landmark in the heart of Queenscliff. The boutique accommodation offering features twelve individually designed suites, some with direct access to the hotel’s historic verandah and sweeping bay views.

Pet-friendly rooms are available, complete with a convenient on-site dog wash station, ideal after coastal walks along nearby beaches. Wheelchair-accessible and ambulant-friendly suites ensure inclusive comfort, while adjoining room options cater perfectly to families or guests seeking additional space and privacy. Each suite has been curated with bespoke furnishings, premium amenities and heritage details, striking a beautiful balance between historic charm and modern luxury.

Every stay includes complimentary breakfast for the duration of the visit, along with access to carefully considered in-house amenities, including a guest lounge with board games and the hotel’s iconic turret.

The hotel’s dining experiences celebrate the flavours of the Bellarine Peninsula, offering something for every occasion. Guests can indulge in fine dining at Miettas, savour relaxed coastal fare in The Conservatory, drop into Cafe 1888 for morning coffee and light bites, or unwind with a pre-dinner drink or nightcap at The Boat Bar.

Long regarded as a cornerstone of the local community, the hotel began an exciting new era in March 2026, reopening under new ownership following an extensive restoration that thoughtfully blends its rich history with a refined, contemporary experience.
