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.

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.
This should be called a family hostel. Sharing a bathroom is a full bathroom for every 2 rooms, not for 22 rooms. Shower at 10pm was totally cold water.
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.

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.

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!
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

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 !!
Room is in very poor conditions, super soft matress, and pillows, only one pillow each bed. Sound proof is zero, you need to make it more clear guests need to bring their own shampoo and body wash, if the closest grocery store is 18km away
Great place easy to check in and really good for a quick and quiet visit

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
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.
Remote location.about 15 mins drive from o Apollo bay ( nearest shops) but a, lovely outlook and cheap as chips .shared facilities were good .great kitchen etc .a tv would have been appreciated in the communal areas.would definitely stay here again next time I'm riding the gor
