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

Alan T., Melbourne Australia

Disliked: Cleanliness

Not value for money

We felt that the owner should spend a couple of nights there to discover all the shortcomings - loose shower rose, unmown lawns, faulty sink plug, needing a good dusting, front screen door not working, food scraps left on bedside tables, poor quality cutlery, blown light globe in bedside lamp. The standard offered did not reflect the higher cost - overall a bit tired. Having said that the owner was generous in helping us in and in providing such things as ice.

Great house in great location

The house was spacious, clean, comfortable, thoughtfully equipped, and tastefully decorated. We had everything we needed and felt very relaxed there. It was ample space for our family of five, even when we were stuck in the house due to bad weather, and could comfortably accommodate 2 families. Fantastic location, 2 min walk to the river beach and shops. Communication with the host was prompt and easy. Would definitely stay again.
