Top Hotels in Queenscliffe Borough with Spas

Saturday night Australia Day long weekend booking was simply bad with no excuses. Food and wine received very ordinary and over-priced - tho two out of five dishes had to be cancelled as not received over an hour after ordering. Followed up twice and eventually advised there was a trainee in the kitchen!? One of our party ending up not dining at all as their vegan dish was one that never arrived. Young and keen (but inexperienced) staff were genuinely doing their best but needed a leader to manage the service over a busy Australia Day weekend. Owners clearly more focussed on their advertised new gifts and candle business. Thankfully other local options have been great. (Not surprised to find business closed now until Wednesday).

Due to an accommodation issue in Ballarat we decided to change our destination to Queenscliff. Hunting online for somewhere to stay at the last minute we found Ruby’s. What a lovely place. Ralph was very welcoming. We stayed in a two room cottage to the side of the owner’s home. The accommodation has two spacious rooms, lounge/kitchenette area and separate bedroom with ensuite. The kitchenette has a microwave, toaster and kettle along with crockery and cutlery. Lovely fresh decor with sofas and heating in both rooms. The WiFi is fast and water hot. There is a shared outdoor space with a BBQ and in ground pool. Ruby’s is situated in a quiet area and literally a couple of minutes walk from the main street of Queenscliff. Close to shops, cafes, galleries and a short walk to the water, it’s in the perfect position. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We’d definitely stay again and would recommend as good value accommodation with style.
