Stepping into Benambra, you are greeted by a blend of Victorian elegance and modern convenience. As one of Queenscliff’s original guest houses, Benambra Boutique Accommodation, built in 1883, showcases the period features you would expect from its era.

Recently renovated, the Lonsdale suite and the Rosebud room offer unique atmospheres. Both rooms feature ensuite bathrooms, luxurious queen-sized beds and super soft linens. Guests can enjoy super soft bath towels and accessories by Bemboka, slippers by Seedling Sole, and premium body care products from the Olive Oil Skin Care Company.

The Banks Room, is a shared living space named after the original owners, James and Susan Banks. This space reflects a bygone era while offering modern comforts. The open fireplace provides warmth and a cosy ambiance. From here, you can take in the view of Hesse Street and its lively atmosphere, feeling connected to both the rich history and dynamic present of Queenscliff.

In the rear garden of the main house is Benambra Cottage, originally a fisherman’s haven dating back to the 1860s. This self-contained cottage, steeped in maritime heritage, boasts high ceilings, shiplap walls, and timber floors that create an airy feel.

A locally sourced light breakfast box is included for the first night of every stay, ensuring guests start their day with fresh provisions.
