Captains Retreat Apartments & Cottages Williamstown — Hotel in Melbourne

This place is like stepping back into "Old Wordly Charm"

Everything about the Captain's Retreat is so personalised...

From them ringing in person to confirm your check in time, then ringing to see if you are lost and need help with directions....

And then you arrive and volia

You are whisked back into a time where manners, courtesy and graciousness meet style.

Think feather beds with electric blankets (for winter), overstuffed arm chairs with the newspaper to read sitting in the morning sun on the terrace while sipping a cup of your favourite tea...

Picture yourself plucking fresh oranges from the tree in the courtyard or picking freshly grown vegetables or salads from the sustainable garden bed for cooking in the kitchen (available to all guests)

Imagine peace and tranquality with the most gracious hosts....

And that is the Captain's...

if you are looking for a quiet / peaceful place to 'park yourself' for a few days but wish to retain access to multiple eateries / various quaint shops & of course the staples of coles/woolies then you will be hard pressed to ignore the accommodation this fabulous / well-appointed property has to offer - the external 'retro' appearance of the apartments belies their internal modernity - every 'mod con' you could wish for is provided and the bed i used [main] was super comfy - access to the cbd and any attractions you may wish to visit there are less than 20 minutes away by car and the views across the bay from the nearby jetty are very photogenic - the owners are to be congratulated for providing such a wonderful / relaxing environment - thanx.||PS: can highly recommend SEBASTIANS for top quality pinxos / tapas...

Booked a 1 bedroom apartment for my pregnant wife and I got given keys for the unit, inside the unit was a normal layout with 2 bedrooms. Loungeroom only really has one comfortable lounge to lay on and the heater is only in the lounge also. I moved a single mattress in front of the heater in the lounge for extra comfort for my wife on the second night. On departure I received a call from management accusing us of having a third person stay, I tried explaining the reason for using the single bed, which I was totally ignored and told a $20 further charge would occur due to a third person having stayed. Could not actually believe this conversation and how rude the management was. Would highly suggest you find elsewhere to stay. Room wasn’t even that good for the money you pay...
