About this property

Whitehall Guesthouse - Groups 15-75 exclusive use of the whole building. Private

We are back in full operation, after restrictions and renovations. A perfect place to come together as a group in a very well naturally ventalated building with lots of open areas, 35 bedrooms with over 60 individual beds (queen and single - NO BUNKS) with great walking, cafe's restaurants, bike tracks, golf clubs and safe beaches.

Whitehall Guesthouse Queenscliff is a much loved building by all who stay, Your group has exclusive use of the building and with a huge living room, there is plenty of private safe space. 

With 35 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, large living and kitchen spaces, opening windows for plenty of natural ventilation, we are perfect for gatherings.

Very well located within the heart of beautiful Queenscliff and in a quiet residential street, very private.

Whitehall is ideal for Families and friends, but equally it is a great option for conferencing and work groups, and any community groups.
We have just recently installed a full disabled bathroom to ensure the building is able to be enjoyed by everyone who are part of a group.

Whitehall is situated at 11 Learmonth Street, Queenscliff. Only a few minutes walk to the main street, the beaches and piers, the steam train.
The historic Guesthouse (1927) dates from the paddle-steamer era (the last Guesthouse built in Queenscliff) and has been restored specifically for groups of family/friends, work or any other group.
This unique property offers the space and freedom for small groups of 10 or more, to enjoy each others company, and to explore the special historic fishing township of Queenscliff.

We have had a few fantastic memorable weekend weddings, but note we are not the reception venue! (noise restrictions apply). We accept all wedding groups.

Catering options include bringing your own food,shopping when you get here, there is terrific fresh produce available locally, organising in house catering (we have a list) or eating out at local restaurants cafes and pubs. A large commercial dishwasher and kitchen makes catering very easy and light work!, even for a large group.

The accommodation
The Guesthouse sleeps up to 75 people (but don't be put off; it is equally good for smaller numbers of 15 plus) in 23 double bedrooms - all with queen-size beds - and 9 other bedrooms with a total of 20 single beds and 2 sets of bunk beds. Guests share 9 bathrooms, including 8 with showers and one with a bath.


Doonas, pillows and extra blankets are supplied, and all bed and personal linen including towels are supplied at no extra charge (we do not provide an option of bringing your own linen, however some guests like to bring their own pillows and Doonas). Beds are not made, but can be on request.

Please note we have many happy groups celebrating occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries, but we are not a loud party venue due to our location within a residential area and noise restrictions apply. Definitely no 'Hens Parties' 'Bucks nights' or end of year footy trips !.

Guests' comments
We have had lots of different groups stay, and the response has been terrific:
"People are still talking about how amazed they were when they turned up and saw where we were staying, and how great the time there was."
"Thank you for your hospitality this past weekend as we celebrated the wedding.They were very grateful to you for your welcoming warmth. I was at Whitehall on Sunday and could see how happy everyone was together."
"We had a lovely stay at your Guesthouse and thank-you for your kind words. They are a lovely group to work with and they said they all enjoyed it".

"We all found Whitehall great, everyone had a great time and enjoyed that it felt homely and not all 'done up'.

Work retreat
The property was chosen as a site for an informal work retreat for 18 people and worked wonderfully well. The comparatively small group were able to have a room each with sufficient bathrooms. The open areas worked well for the meetings and discussions and the kitchen was perfect for group meal preparation. Everything was clean and tidy and we were introduced to the property by the attentive property manager who checked to see how things were going.

Thank You!
Perfect space and location for our leadership group of 11 to work together while still having space. Quiet location but close enough to walk to shops, food and coffee! Hosts were very flexible with our booking needs and super responsive to communication.

Our Club has been staying at Whitehall for about 17 years now, it really is a 2nd home. We love the open lounge area and balcony as it give us the opportunity to gather as a large group. It has all the ameneties we need and it's been great to see the improvements that have been made over the years that add to our comfort. Already booked for next year :)
