Galway Cottage is a perfect place to stay. Spacious, beautifully presented, extremely well equipped kitchen and laundry and thoughtful extras such as the games and books. Great location to walk to shops and beach and the General Store Cafe only a few minutes walk away is excellent. We would highly recommend Galway Cottage and Queenscliff and Coastal Holiday Bookings.

Galway Cottage is a wonderful property located close to our favourite Queenscliff beach and within easy walking distance to the main street. There are different areas to relax and plenty of space to spread out. The provision of plenty of firewood, books, games and toiletries in the bathrooms were most appreciated.
