“A glamorous clifftop hotel overlooking Port Phillip Bay for over a century, this family-owned spot oozes understated chic. Think pared-back rooms clad in cream & white tones, with exposed stone & pale oak, big soaking tubs & balconies framing magical views. A refreshing pool, bars & eateries await.”
