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

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!

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!

Disliked: Cleanliness
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.

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!
