DOONGARRA

Welcome to Doongarra, your perfect little home away from home right in the heart of Queenscliff!

With enough room for two, this one-bedroom cottage is your ticket to a cozy getaway.

Just a hop, skip, and a jump away from local eateries, galleries, and shops, you won’t even need your car.

But in case you do bring it along, there’s a private spot just for you.

Inside, you’re greeted with a bright and welcoming living area complete with all the amenities for a relaxing stay. Whip up a delightful meal in the fully equipped open-plan kitchen, or hit the local brewhouse just minutes walk away.

So, whether you’re keen on exploring the town or just kicking back, Doongarra is your ideal base.

Just remember, the only thing you’ll need to worry about here is having too much fun!

Doongarra is a charming one-bedroom cottage situated in central Queenscliff, in close proximity to restaurants, cafes, and galleries. Nestled behind the historic shops of Hesse Street Queenscliff, this cozy cottage offers an ideal getaway for a couple or individual right in the heart of town. You can conveniently park your car in the private off-street parking area and explore everything on foot. Set in a delightful communal garden, the cottage features a bright and airy lounge with a comfortable couch, polished timber floors, TV, DVD player, and reverse cycle air conditioning. The open-plan kitchen is well-equipped with a cooktop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and island bench with seating. A concealed washing machine is tucked away behind the cupboards. The carpeted bedroom includes a queen-size bed with provided linen and bathroom towels, a ceiling fan, and a wardrobe. The ensuite bathroom boasts a vanity, toilet, and a spacious walk-in shower. Whether you’re seeking a cozy modern retreat for yourself or for two, this spot is perfect. Enjoy the convenience of being in the heart of Queenscliff, within walking distance to shops, the Blues Train, Q Train, restaurants, galleries, and a short drive to the golf course and ferry. Pedestrian access is from Hesse Street, while car access is available from Learmonth Street at the back (next to the Dive Centre).

The location in the middle of town and behind the shops couldn't be better. It was very central but there was no traffic noise. A comfortable, compact yet spacious-feeling unit. The washing machine was also very handy. Stayed 11/04/2023 to 16/04/2023
