Port Fairy Sojourn

A great property walking distance to the centre of town. Very comfortable with large indoor/outdoor area which we spent time in relaxing, eating, throwing a ball for the dog. The town was lovely and has a very nice craft shop and many eateries. The beaches are great.Very relaxing.

Lovely Muttonbird Cottage

this is the second time we've stayed in this lovely cottage. The location is fantastic and the house comfortable, clean and has everything you might need. We particularly like the outdoor, undercover area which you can use in all weather. Thanks Jenny
