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 !!
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
Good place to stop by on the great ocean road. Lovely farm and views of the sea from the property. The shared kitchen was well equipped and dining room/lounge were large enough to accommodate guests. Room did get cold but a heater was provided and the beds were very comfy. Shared bathrooms were clean.
Amazing amazing accomodation! So unique and in such a beautiful spot, cute little coffee bench that overlooks the alpacas and highland cows! Also loved the big fully equipped kitchen!!
Get your carpenters to add more cross bracing to the structure supporting the room mosquitos were eating us alive , no room in the bedroom to bring our luggage didn’t feel comfortable at all the view is five star hand rails were missing long walk to toilet kitchen Don’t think the structure and conditions would be compliant felt like we staying in a makeshift building never experienced any thing such before my partner was very disappointed we paid any money for this place even though sheets and towels were supplied sorry to tell you it may help you to prevent a disaster in the near future , all the best with what you are serving up !
We stayed in the studio and it was fantastic, the bed was divine, we had our own private deck with chairs table and banana lounges. The only down side is the kitchenette really had no accessories for cooking. Also the fridge was not cold at all so our drinks didn’t get cold. Otherwise a wonderful stay, loved the automatic ground coffee machine
Seacroft was absolutely lovely! I stayed in the treehouse and enjoyed a magical view of the oceanside and farm animals. It was quiet and easily accessible. Can't recommend enough!
