Great stay
We had a great stay. The photos are accurate, in fact the cottage is more spacious than it appears in the photos. Very clean, and had everything we needed. The location is quiet, but walking distance from pretty much anywhere you'd want to go in Queenscliff.

Beautiful little place
We had such a lovely weekend in this beautiful little house filled with art and interesting home pieces. The house was immaculate and had every thing we needed. Alison, the owner of the house, was very helpful and friendly. Her suggestion to check out a local flower show in town was a great look into the vibrant little community of Queenscliff. We look Forward to a return visit soon!

I'll Be Back!!!!
I loved my stay at Pelicans. There is a creative, coastal theme to the cottage making it absolutely fascinating and welcoming. Watching the pilot boats coming and going while curled up in the bay window, reading and writing snuggled under a blanket on the best front porch ever were definite highlights. I found the bed particularly comfortable and quite therapeutic. Pelicans is strolling distance to pretty much everything in delightful Queenscliffe and all in all was the perfect stay. Thankyou Alison for being such a considerate host.

The little cottage was perfect. Walking distance to the fishing area with the pelicans close by. The views of the harbour from every angle giving the opportunity to take great pictures all close to the cottage. No need to use your car to see what the township has to offer. Old world shops a step back in time. A journey in nostalgia. A safe and friendly place to stay and unwind. An excellent stay overall.
