Cliff Top

Set high above the sea on a lush acreage with uninterrupted views over Smiths Beach and Bass Strait, this award-winning, boutique property is like no other in the region. It has absolute beach frontage and all guest rooms have direct access
to the grounds and a private track to the island's best surf beach for families.

Each suite is unique and decorated in chic coastal style with special touches such as floorto-ceiling glass windows, a distinctive mural by a local artist, or a roomy wraparound balcony. Luxurious nut oils, therapeutic Dead Sea salts and the magic fingers of the in-house beauty and massage therapists will work away any tension.

And to complete the package order one of the delicious platters and dine at sunset in the spectacular seaside pavilion or in front of the open fire on cooler nights. Order ahead and Cliff Top's renowned chef and owner Marco Santucci (of St Kilda's Carlisle Wine Bar) will prepare memorable dinners of local seasonal produce. Of course, great espresso coffee is available. With pampering packages and Cliff Top's dramatic appeal, weddings and group bookings work beautifully too.
