We only stayed one night at Seacroft, so can’t comment much on facilities but for somewhere to rest your head along the Great Ocean Road you couldn’t ask for much more - stunning views right outside your door, clean rooms and incredibly comfy beds plus decently good self serve tea and coffee. We loved our stay !!
One of the best stays i have ever had. Very clean, and spacious unit. 100% recommend it. I wish we stayed longer.

Views and environment were amazing. Rooms were clean and well furnished. Management was extremely generous providing us with a place to stay even though we accidentally arrived a day early due to some confusion with our itinerary. Would highly recommend a visit!
We loved everything about this location and addcomodation! The Bay View Cottage is just perfect!!

Beautiful well presented property with well maintained historical furniture that feels like you’ve stepped back in time, beautiful views of the mountains and ocean owners are helpful and friendly
Clean room. Great view off the Ocean Road!
Well stocked kitchen with all equipment you could need.
Kitchen was busy so if you wanted to make dinner in a rush or serve up something a bit nicer you might struggle for space.

Not worth the value you pay.
Very substandard accommodation, not very clean, walls are very thin against the other bedrooms and this place was expensive. Great kitchen facilities though and nice big sharing dining room. It did the job for what we needed but we only booked here last minute with no availabilities elsewhere in the area.
Amazing amazing accomodation! So unique and in such a beautiful spot, cute little coffee bench that overlooks the alpacas and highland cows! Also loved the big fully equipped kitchen!!
Seacroft was absolutely lovely! I stayed in the treehouse and enjoyed a magical view of the oceanside and farm animals. It was quiet and easily accessible. Can't recommend enough!

It's in a good location, 15mins from Apollo Bay . No change of towels was disappointing. No TV didn't bother me, wifi okay, not great. Shared toilet and showers. I don't think i would stay again.
Good place to stop by on the great ocean road. Lovely farm and views of the sea from the property. The shared kitchen was well equipped and dining room/lounge were large enough to accommodate guests. Room did get cold but a heater was provided and the beds were very comfy. Shared bathrooms were clean.
Joanne the host was friendly and helpful, and the bell tent was a novelty with stunning views of the beach and coastline.
The highlight for me was the highland cows on the property, black and brown in colour with their massive horns and was lucky to be able feed them.
Seacroft Estate is a great value for money accommodation option, along the Great Ocean Road, and only 15mins from Apollo Bay, where cafe and restaurants are plentiful.
The room was tidy. I loved the location and how peaceful it was until night time - see below
The only downer were the people staying next to me were so noisy and loud until 11pm. I am pleased I only stayed 1 night. The walls are thin and I could hear everything!!
That`s the reason for 3 stars
This was once a monastery so the bedrooms are small, but the communal areas are spacious. Sea views from the sunroom. A well stocked kitchen. A very peaceful location. Shared bathrooms which are multigender. No TV. A good place for groups. Child friendly. Good communication.

The view from my room was wonderfull, and the property is located conveniently between Lorne and Apollo Bay. Unfortunately, that is where the good things end.
The treehouse room that I stayed in was a windowless box barely large enough to fit a double bed - which wasn’t the end of the world considering the large communal areas. But the room was stiflingly hot with the door closed, and leaving the door open resulted in hundreds of mosquitoes filling the room.
I wound up leaving the room at midnight to sleep on the couch in the common room.
I would definitely not recommend spending $200 if there are any other available rooms.

The property location was a stunning setting. However, lack of signage showing where you were allowed to park, where the kitchen was and the names of the areas in the peoperty were very lacking. A bath mat would have been nice or even a mop so we could at least clean up after we had a shower.
This is more of a hostel setting and whilst it is not the owners fault, the night we stayed, guests arrived very late and proceeded to be very noisy not respecting other guests sleeping.
Being an old building, the walls are very thin and the noise travels even when conversing inside your room.
Apart from all this, the peoperty is in a stunning location with great views, however it lacks personal communication and requires a bit of care.
Cons:
1. The room is so small that one side of the bed touches the wall. There is no fan/AC in the room which makes it hot during the day.
2. The shared bathroom area wasn't cleaned in the morning. It had dead insects all over the floor.
3. Disturbance from other guests at night - Not the owner's fault but the guests have to be mindful of the fact that it is a shared accommodation.
4. Overpriced for a shared accommodation considering the comfort factor was missing.
Pros:
1. The ocean view from the room is excellent.
2. The shared kitchen and the activity/lounge area is well equipped.
Everything was as advertised. The animals were fantastic and the cat was super friendly. We stayed in the Tree House. Not a lot of room in there and all amenities are out side of it i.e. kitchen, toilets & shower, but it was advertised like this so it was expected. Great experience and excellent view.
