🌊⚓️ Queenscliff Feels Like a Postcard You Can Walk Into

Queenscliff felt like walking into an old postcard — the kind with faded edges, handwritten notes, and ocean-salted air 📮🌊. This quiet little coastal town in Victoria is full of charm: historic cottages, a vintage train line, and one of the prettiest lighthouses I’ve seen perched right by the cliffs 🏠🚂⚓. The first time I came here last year, I stumbled into a tiny modern Asian restaurant called Nivana — completely by accident. This year, I somehow ended up at the same table by the window, with the same menu, and yes… I ordered the same dishes again (no regrets) 🪟💛 🥥 Malaysian Laksa ($28) — rich, creamy broth that’s full of spice and coconut, but never too heavy. The highlight? The crispy prawn wontons — golden on the outside, juicy inside. Just remember to eat them before they soak too long! 🦐 Scallop & Prawn Siu Mai ($19) — fresh, bouncy, and packed with flavor. You can tell the seafood is top quality. After a breezy walk along the pier and letting the wind tangle our hair in the best way, this warm, cozy meal just hit different. Queenscliff doesn’t shout — it whispers. And Nivana was the perfect way to end a soft, sea-salted day. #queenscliff #melbourne #getaway #victoria
