Seacroft Estate

Seacroft is undoubtedly one of the most special places I have visited in Australia. It is evident that there is a great effort to keep each piece and shared spaces in perfect condition. You can find beauty in any area of the establishment, it is impressive as the place is surrounded by mountains and at the same time has a very wide view of the ocean. If you are lucky you will be able to see whales and kangaroos. Adding that it is steps away from a beautiful path to a waterfall. I will never forget this beautiful and magic place!

Location is ok for a stop over, but there is nothing around the property for several kilo meters. So u must get take outs if u are planning to stay. Also, there is no coffee in the kitchen (There is a machine in a shed), no room service, no vending machines or food, and no interaction with the people who manage the property of any kind. Also, no wifi so you must use your data wisely if you are travelling. The room was a makeshift sort of a thing just enough to fit a bed. The bedding were dirty and infested. we ended up wearing our jackets and trousers to sleep in the cold. The toilets are shared no matter what room you book and is unisex so you might wanna consider waiting times and awkwardness in the toilet with other strangers. We paid a lot for it as it was around Christmas time, however I would advise anything more than 50$ is a rip off for this property. Might be suitable for backpackers on the roads, but families should avoid it. If its on your way to somewhere, i would recommend a photo stop over.

This is a youth hostel being presented as a hotel. The room had no bathroom, no A/C, not even a fan. No TV, no Wifi. At $250 AUD per night, it is appalling value. It's backpacker accommodation, if it was $75 a night and clearly advertised as a hostel, it would be fine. It's a shame because it's a beautiful location on the Great Ocean Road, but the actual accommodation provided was a joke. Strongly recommend against staying here.

Toilet / Shower facilities are together in a shared block and are atrocious. Showering next to toilet cubicle should be nice. The shower curtain track nearly feel off as it was so rusted. Rooms are small and basic. Great views still are not the saving grace. And room comes with its own spider.

Booked Seacroft last minute and paid 150 for a room. We did not expect anything luxurious for that price. However we were not expecting a dirty run down shoebox backpackers style room. Shocked to discover that the shared bathroom is a caravan park style unisex with only 2 toilets and 3 showers for a large amount of guests. After google reviewing the estate to warn future travelers. The owner made up a completely false storyline about our stay to try and discredit us.

Absolutely shocking room. It was clean but was in total disrepair and shabby. (See photos.) When you pay in the high $300s per night (even if that is a low rate for the location and time of year), you at least deserve walls free from stickers, that are painted properly, and to not have to make your own bed. You also deserve clean bathrooms. Also would not expect dead insects in common rooms — or a big, black live spider above your bed! No care from owner, or the possibility of a cancellation — even though we requested it only hours after booking, due to the fact that the woman I was traveling with was pregnant and realized this wasn't a fit. The owner had our money and she was keeping it at all costs. ...Ruined our last trip before our baby was born. Very sad experience. We cut our stay a night short, due to the room. But like I said: no chance of a cancellation / or even partial refund.... I'm just glad I snapped some pictures during my brief stay so the owner can't deny what it was like. (Which she tried to do.) Good location but beware of the owner (if there are any issues, she will attack you & lie to you — not try to help make it right) — and the quality of some rooms is abysmal.
