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.

Mutton Bird Cottage

Mutton Bird Cottage provided the perfect base for my partner and I and a friend while we participated in the 2024 Port Fairy Jazz Festival. The house itself was well appointed, clean and friendly. It was perfectly located, only one block away from the main street and all of the music venues, yet it was far enough to be peaceful and perfectly quiet at night. It was also within easy walking distance of the wharf and the island, where one evening we stayed to watch the mutton birds return for the night. We would be happy to recommend Mutton Bird Cottage and to stay there ourselves when we visit for Festivals in the future.

Dudley's Barneses first trip to Port Fairy

We have been visiting Port Fairy over the summer holidays for around 25 years. During that time we have both camped and stayed in holiday houses. Mutton Bird Cottage definitely ticked all our boxes with this stay.Our Labrador, Dudley loved his stay as much as we did.Especialy the terracotta pot, and sprinkler on the hot days! The house was absolutely spotless, but furnished in a way that we also felt at ease having our large puppy with us. The position of the property was really close to shops and easy access to both East and then South Beach.Our daughter enjoyed also having a queensize bed, the rainwater shower and the spa bath. My husband and I loved the huge outdoor living space and well appointed kitchen. Truely can't fault this property and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a really comfortable stay in Port Fairy during all seasons. Many many thanks to our host Jenny Macgilvray for an exceptional stay!

Lovely

The location is wonderfull right around the corner are the shops and restaurants! And we enjoyed Griffith’s Island very much: we saw the Mutton birds at dusk and there were hundreds! And we were the only ones on the island that evening! It is a spectacular place and view!
