On a quiet residential street in the seaside town of Queenscliff, this independently run guest house is let as a whole — 34 bedrooms and more than 60 queen and single beds, taken by one group at a time. A commercial-grade kitchen, generous living areas and on-site parking make it a base for large families, friends and gatherings, with beaches, wetlands and bush trails close by. There are no bunks and no chain behind it; it is a house built for coming together.
