Perfect location, well fitted-out for families, very clean and comfortable. Communication was excellent, and we had a fantastic time. Would definitely love to stay again soon!!!
Australiagreat place, not far from the beach, or the shops. Very quiet and calm, beautiful place to stay at much recommend. Had everything you needed in the kitchen, great showers and has a dishwasher. lots of room and space!
AustraliaBeing able to sit comfortably, in peace looking into the garden was a treat. Finding a coffee pot just like ours, fabulous. Generous condiment provision. Who wants to go buy salt and pepper,or plastic wrap on holiday? Easy access to the beach, Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove. The delicious chocolate mousse at the not-too-far-away Bowls Club, and the playroom for the children.
AustraliaBeautifully furnished, comfy couches with feather cushions. Beds have supportive mattresses and stylish bed linen. Kitchen was well stocked and very clean. Short walk to the beach, a very enjoyable stay.
AustraliaIt really is only a couple of minutes stroll to the beach. The accommodation is spacious, modern, and has everything you would need. Ocean grove has a target and a coles, so there are no problems if you forget something. We packed one of the days full with walks to the river, lunch in barwon heads, a helicopter flight over torquay, and a trip to the beach. Best day we've had this year, and Alices palace was a great place to come back to and relax. The communication from the owners leading up to the weekend was exceptional.

Alice's Palace has it all - relaxation, location, ambience & convenience. Imagine having a tipple around a BBQ in a native garden, listening to the surf roll in. Or sitting in front of a gas log fire, in a gorgeous place, enjoying your favourite wine. Stroll to the lifeguard patrolled family-friendly surf beach in 2-minutes. Wander to the Barwon River in 5-minutes and shops in 10-minutes. The light airy design creates a relaxed atmosphere (with fast Wi-Fi) for work, rest & play all year-round. Perfect for small groups, families, couples/dates, business travellers, LGBTQI, and special occasion/wedding guests.

(4) four night minimum stay over Easter - Anzac Day period. (7) seven night minimum stay applies to Christmas - Jan holiday period. - feel free to enquire about shorter stays (they often open-up late, between longer stay bookings).
Alice's Palace offers the best of both worlds. Enjoy the most family-friendly surf beach in Victoria AND the sheltered Barwon River waters. Imagine your choice of 16 golf courses within a 30 minute drive, fantastic local wineries, boutique breweries and distilleries with live music, fine dining, awesome fishing and local cafes that rival Melbourne. And it's a perfect launch point for exploring the iconic Great Ocean Road. Phil is a wine professional with a long work history on the Bellarine in the fine wine and dining hospitality industry, and now lives in Melbourne with his partner Sue. They have a passion for photography and cycling, and Phil is ‘mad keen’ on fishing, so Ocean Grove is perfect. They have lots of local 'intel' about things to do & places to go, so please request a printed copy of suggestions to help plan and pack.
