Queenscliff
In the 1880's, Melbourne's most affluent would arrive on paddle steamers for a luxury seaside retreat. Today, travellers on every type of budget flock to Queenscliff for fine dining, the grandeur of beautifully restored hotels, luxurious Bed and Breakfasts and the stunning natural features.
Queenscliff attracts visitors from all points of the compass. They come to enjoy the beach, a picnic under the giant foreshore pines, the village charm or even a game of golf.
When it comes to water-based activities, Queenscliff has plenty to choose from. Boating, fishing, diving and snorkelling are popular. There are also tours to see dolphins and seals to add even more zest to your visit.
The Queenscliff Horse-drawn Coach Company or Drysdale steam train are unique ways to explore historical buildings, as is a walking tour with "Mr Queenscliff" from the Queenscliff Historical Tours.
Many of the old churches and buildings have been resurrected as restaurants, cafes, shops and galleries serving up fine local produce and selling all manner of clothes, artworks and bric-a-brac.
