A great holiday destination.

Our family enjoyed our stay at this property and it's location is perfect. It is within a short walking distance to the great shops of Barwon Heads as well as the beach. The table tennis in the shed entertained our teenage boys and the house contained everything that we needed. The lovely back yard was also a pleasant surprise.

Fantastic Location

Stayed at Alfred's with the family for a few nights in the September school holidays and could not have been happier with the location and huge yard for our dog. The house was light, bright & very comfortable. The kids had a great time exploring the inlet and we enjoyed being able to walk everywhere & leave the car at home. We will most definitely return next school holidays.

Alfred's on Hitchcock

Alfred's on Hitchcock is a beautifully renovated older home that is warm and welcoming. The location is great with just a short stroll to cafes and restaurants offering great food and coffee. An easy walk to the beaches and the Barwon Heads hotel. We are travelling with our pet and our dog loved the fully fenced yard and spend long periods exploring the grounds. We had a lovely time and would recommend Alfred's
