Captains Retreat Apartments & Cottages Williamstown

Beautiful art deco apartment full of original features. Excellent view of the bay from kitchen/living room and balcony. Very comfortable and well equipped. Very clear and friendly communication re booking and local information.

Captains Retreat Apartments & Cottages is such a gem! The place is beautifully designed, spotless, and has a real homey charm. The staff were warm and welcoming, making my stay truly relaxing.

We were upgraded to the Captains suite. Normally this is slightly more expensive but would still represent great value. The room is massive - the size of a small apartment, the furnishings very olde world but tasteful and the bathroom huge. It’s a great location and while a bit quirky it’s lovely. Nice touch also is access to another upstairs lounge which is bright and airy and includes a kitchen.|Plenty of cafes etc nearby in Furgeson St.

Booked an overnight stay for my mum for her birthday and everything was exceptional. The rooms was beautiful, with such character. So clean . The entire building is so charming, the enchanted garden out the back is just sublime. Melissa the owner is the loveliest host. So friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, close to everything you need. I highly recommend the Captains Retreat for a lovely, homely stay in Willi.

This will be my go to start in Williamstown. I had some lovely conversation with the owner about the restoration, artwork and life. The Captain's Suite upstairs was a lovely room to stay in. I worked from there on both evenings and the desk was very handy. The shared lounge room has instant coffee, a plunger kit with grounds coffee supplied and a newer addition of an automatic coffee machine. There's a dining table which I ate fish and chips at.

Stayed in Stephanies Cottage, wonderful stay great accommodation with everything you could possibly want. The little extras were a surprise. Its a rare find.

We have stayed in many hotels and apartment but this was our favourite stay yet. Such a beautiful spot! Extremely attentive and friendly staff, quick responses and went above and beyond. The historical apartment we stayed in was beautiful. We loved the detail of the common room upstairs with snacks, tea and coffee and able to go sit outside on the balcony. Beautiful location in Williamstown so close to the CBD but also a lovely spot to go to local coffee shops and walk along the wharf. Couldn’t recommend this spot more!!

From an early check in to holding onto the walking stick I forgot a great stay.||Chose the Captains Retreat some months ago and have to say the apartment was beautiful, felt like coming home and relaxing the moment I walked through the front door. Everything from the bedrooms, bathroom, well equipped kitchen and lovely comfortable living room were great. It felt like a family home.||Everything was clean and easy to find with a small basket of food to start our stay off well.||Thanks Melissa.
