A great holiday destination.
Our family enjoyed our stay at this property and it's location is perfect. It is within a short walking distance to the great shops of Barwon Heads as well as the beach. The table tennis in the shed entertained our teenage boys and the house contained everything that we needed. The lovely back yard was also a pleasant surprise.

Fantastic Location
Stayed at Alfred's with the family for a few nights in the September school holidays and could not have been happier with the location and huge yard for our dog. The house was light, bright & very comfortable. The kids had a great time exploring the inlet and we enjoyed being able to walk everywhere & leave the car at home. We will most definitely return next school holidays.

Thank you, I appreciate how tidy you left the house and your lovely note. School holidays are a great time in Barwon Heads, not overly busy and still mild weather. Happy to help you make great family memories. Looking forward to your return.
Alfred's on Hitchcock is a beautifully renovated older home that is warm and welcoming. The location is great with just a short stroll to cafes and restaurants offering great food and coffee. An easy walk to the beaches and the Barwon Heads hotel. We are travelling with our pet and our dog loved the fully fenced yard and spend long periods exploring the grounds. We had a lovely time and would recommend Alfred's

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Alfreds on Hitchcock. Penny is a great host, very accommodating and friendly. We share the house across two families and we love the dual living zones and sunny outdoor area. The wifi and Foxtel this year was a bonus! Thanks as always!

About the host
Hosted by Penelope Scott
I love hosting our family beach home to other families and their friend so that holiday or special occasion memories can be made. I have been holidaying on the Surf Coast & the Bellarine for over 40 years and love the relaxed vibe of Barwon Heads.
Why they chose this property
"Alfred's on Hithcock" is a revamped origional beach home with a relaxed feel conveniently located on Hitchcock Ave . Two doors from a days spa & wine store and just around the corner a couple of blocks to the inlet. A 2 minute Lesuirely stroll up the road are cafes, resturants and shopping options.
What makes this property unique
Alfred's is a quirky home in a great location on the main street filled with eclectic touches. While updated we have endeavoured to keep as many original features intact. A huge yard right in town not often found in Barwon Heads. If you have a large family or 2 families & love space on your holidays this is for you. Also, a great place for girls weekends with two day spas and a wine store & Cafes steps away. When staying in there are two comfy lounges & a deep bath for relaxing in. My favorite features are the reclaimed old Jarrah bridge beam from Central pier in the main lounge and the lush garden with Banana Palms. We love the location and that you park your car & walk everywhere. Sleeps 10.
