Alfred's on Hitchcock

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

Property was in excellent location, very clean and spacious and was great for all our family. The lawn at the front of the house was well used by the grandkids and the adults loved the deck area to enjoy the sunshine. Would recommend to family and friends.

Amazing Alfreds!

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!

Relaxing and comfortable

We enjoyed our stay here, sadly the weather wasnt great so kept us inside a little more. It was lovely to have access to games and also 2 lounges were great! There were no issues, however if there was one, I have no doubt they would have been rectified efficiently. Thank you!

Not value for money

We felt that the owner should spend a couple of nights there to discover all the shortcomings - loose shower rose, unmown lawns, faulty sink plug, needing a good dusting, front screen door not working, food scraps left on bedside tables, poor quality cutlery, blown light globe in bedside lamp. The standard offered did not reflect the higher cost - overall a bit tired. Having said that the owner was generous in helping us in and in providing such things as ice.

Great house in great location

The house was spacious, clean, comfortable, thoughtfully equipped, and tastefully decorated. We had everything we needed and felt very relaxed there. It was ample space for our family of five, even when we were stuck in the house due to bad weather, and could comfortably accommodate 2 families. Fantastic location, 2 min walk to the river beach and shops. Communication with the host was prompt and easy. Would definitely stay again.

Everything you could ask for, and more.

Penny's house is perfectly set out for a larger group, with space inside and out to enjoy the weather. Everything is set out to be enjoyed, from from the large wooden dining table, to the wonderfully comfy outdoor lounge with a beautiful garden view. It's obvious that a lot of love and consideration went into the renovation. The location is great too, with point-blank beach access and a bakery so close that my friends remarked on how quick the coffee run was every single morning. It was a delicious coffee, too. Penny was a wonderful host. Clear and quick in communication; accommodating and understanding. I absolutely recommend staying at Alfred's on Hitchcock. Honestly, I wish I never had to leave.

Beautiful family break

From the start Penny made us feel welcome with great communication for our family break. The property didn’t disappoint- the accommodation was well appointed with everything we could need. The toys were even age appropriate for our toddler- so kind. Our entire family from grandparent to toddler had a comfortable break and we would def book this accommodation again! Thank you!

Great location and lots of room

We had a lovely family holiday at this relaxed beach cottage. Kate is a gracious host and there were many extra touches that were much appreciated, like the quality linen and towels, and lovely hand wash. Location is perfect - just a short stroll into town. The outside of the house took us a little by surprise but we warmed to it. Enjoy!

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.
