We are back in full operation, after restrictions and renovations. A perfect place to come together as a group in a very well naturally ventalated building with lots of open areas, 35 bedrooms with over 60 individual beds (queen and single - NO BUNKS) with great walking, cafe's restaurants, bike tracks, golf clubs and safe beaches.
Whitehall Guesthouse Queenscliff is a much loved building by all who stay, Your group has exclusive use of the building and with a huge living room, there is plenty of private safe space.
With 35 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, large living and kitchen spaces, opening windows for plenty of natural ventilation, we are perfect for gatherings.
Very well located within the heart of beautiful Queenscliff and in a quiet residential street, very private.
Whitehall is ideal for Families and friends, but equally it is a great option for conferencing and work groups, and any community groups.
We have just recently installed a full disabled bathroom to ensure the building is able to be enjoyed by everyone who are part of a group.
Whitehall is situated at 11 Learmonth Street, Queenscliff. Only a few minutes walk to the main street, the beaches and piers, the steam train.
The historic Guesthouse (1927) dates from the paddle-steamer era (the last Guesthouse built in Queenscliff) and has been restored specifically for groups of family/friends, work or any other group.
This unique property offers the space and freedom for small groups of 10 or more, to enjoy each others company, and to explore the special historic fishing township of Queenscliff.
We have had a few fantastic memorable weekend weddings, but note we are not the reception venue! (noise restrictions apply). We accept all wedding groups.
Catering options include bringing your own food,shopping when you get here, there is terrific fresh produce available locally, organising in house catering (we have a list) or eating out at local restaurants cafes and pubs. A large commercial dishwasher and kitchen makes catering very easy and light work!, even for a large group.
The accommodation
The Guesthouse sleeps up to 75 people (but don't be put off; it is equally good for smaller numbers of 15 plus) in 23 double bedrooms - all with queen-size beds - and 9 other bedrooms with a total of 20 single beds and 2 sets of bunk beds. Guests share 9 bathrooms, including 8 with showers and one with a bath.
Doonas, pillows and extra blankets are supplied, and all bed and personal linen including towels are supplied at no extra charge (we do not provide an option of bringing your own linen, however some guests like to bring their own pillows and Doonas). Beds are not made, but can be on request.
Please note we have many happy groups celebrating occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries, but we are not a loud party venue due to our location within a residential area and noise restrictions apply. Definitely no 'Hens Parties' 'Bucks nights' or end of year footy trips !.
