The apartment was very large, four bedrooms with three attached toilets with bathtubs and an additional powder room for guests. The main living/dining area with a open kitchen was big and well-furnished. There was also a separate family area near the bedrooms. Location was great and we could see the waterfront from the main living area, which was also bright and airy due to its many windows and skylights. The reception was fantastic and welcoming. There was a welcome starter pack comprising of two boxes of milk, two boxes of orange juice, bread, small packs of butter, jam, cereals, a plate of biscuits, tea, coffee, sugar, tubs of yoghurt and even a pitcher of cold water in the fridge. The kitchen was stocked with all the kitchenware that you will need to make a meal. There was even a separate pantry with even more kitchen aids. I would say that this is the best apartment that I have ever rented, in terms of location, size, amenities and welcome.

The suite was perfect for our group! It was beautifully appointed, very spacious, had comfy beds, & was complete with a balcony hosting a lovely view. Our hostess Melissa made sure we were welcomed with a tour & a thorough rundown on our beautiful suite. She was extremely helpful & went out of her way to make sure our stay was smooth sailing! Many thanks Melissa & Narelle! Would highly recommend for a Williamstown getaway!

A lovely opportunity to taste a bit of history. The location was great and Melissa was very welcoming. Really appreciated the light breakfast offerings and the tea and biscuits in the kitchen/lounge area which was spacious, eclectically furnished with interesting books to browse and leading off onto a good sized veranda with views to the city and stairs into a lovely secret garden.

After my long weekend plans fell through, I decided to book last minute at a local BnB with the intention of relaxing, reading and walking. The Captain's Retreat was perfect. I stayed in the Britannica Room which has a lovely big spa bath. The property has a beautiful garden, back deck and lounge room and I spent lots of time lounging and reading in each. There are also 2 kitties, not allowed in guest areas so don't fret if you have allergies, but I loved seeing them in the backyard. The location is close to the water and lots of restaurants. I stayed in the dead of winter and at first was very cold. The heater took a little while to heat the room at first but after that, I was very comfortable. There's also a heat blanket on the bed. Things for other guests to be aware of: - In the Britannica Room, there are 2 steps into the bathroom. Fine for me, but possibly an issue for others - The mattress is VERY firm which personally I love but others may not

Gorgeous historic building with quality furnishing and beautiful rooms. Very well appointed with everything you could need including a shared space lounge kitchen dining deck and garden. Thoughtful extras like shortbreads and port. I felt welcomed by the staff and enjoyed a chat with the owner Melissa who took the time to say hello and share some history. Highly recommend this stay. Look forward to the next time thank you for a wonderful experience.

It was clean and quiet and in a great location. Not too far from the town center either. There is a great restaurant down the street and great views of the harbor and downtown. We were given a breakfast basket when we arrived which was full of delicious goodies and the place is also well stocked with tea/coffee/sugar etc. plenty of towels and bathroom accessories also. Very comfortable place and would stay here again.

The hospitality, despite of a wrongfull booking from my side was extraordinary. Melissa is a genuine wonderful host to meet all our requests. I will certainly be back to let the other members of my family enjoy the wonderfull and characteristic Cpt’s Retreat and all of its surroundings. Close to the centre of Melbourne yet a place to experience the old history of Williamstown. 🦘🦘🇻🇬

The location was amazing. The apartment was beautiful, spacious and clean and the beds were comfortable. The view over the bay was wonderful, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Reception from the ladies was warm and friendly. We felt very welcome and loved the touch of the breakfast basket.

The balcony and alcove sitting area. The wine bottle serving water. Watching a movie in the evening with a good TV. Cosy but I need to come back in winter to experience the fire.
