Captains Retreat Apartments and Cottages

Our arrival time was delayed due to a late flight so we manager was in regular contact with me to provide a solution so we could access the property. It worked perfectly and it was a great relief to not have to worry about being delayed. Upon viewing the apartment it was like an oasis. It was beautiful and roomy with a delicious basket of breakfast goodies waiting for us. We wished we could have stayed longer and would definitely return when in Melbourne again. Thank you for the wonderful stay and all of the little extras you provided like Q-tips in the bathroom and gourmet coffee pods.

The particular room I stayed in was very spacious. The accomodation was set up as a self catering B & B. Tea and coffee was freely available. There was a full sized fridge available. As well as a couch in my room, there was also a shared lounge and garden area. It was close to many cafes, takeaways, bakeries and a supermarket. A one minute walk to the foreshore.

We have stayed in many hotels and apartment but this was our favourite stay yet. Such a beautiful spot! Extremely attentive and friendly staff, quick responses and went above and beyond. The historical apartment we stayed in was beautiful. We loved the detail of the common room upstairs with snacks, tea and coffee and able to go sit outside on the balcony. Beautiful location in Williamstown so close to the CBD but also a lovely spot to go to local coffee shops and walk along the wharf. Couldn’t recommend this spot more!!

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

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.
