Beautiful accommodation. Walking distance to main streets.
I received a detailed email and a hand written note from the owner, which I thought was a lovely touch. Very lovely room, just wish I wasn’t there just for the night cause I definitely would have had a bath!!

We LOVED the cottage. It is full of charm and we can highly recommend it. Next time, we would like to stay longer to enjoy everything about it as we only spent one night on our way to Melbourne for a birthday party.

I love the layout of the cottage, it’s so cute and comfortable, and tastefully styled. it has everything you need. A beautiful garden with seating for a pre dinner drink, a private verandah for your morning coffee. A big comfy bed with views. It’s quiet and relaxing. Would be divine in winter with the gas fireplace on. We loved it so much we extended our stay.

Very comfortable and cosy. Great bathroom spa, bed, and bedding. Only stayed the one night but could’ve easily spent much longer. Wifi worked great for streaming too and communication with our hosts was faultless. Would happily stay again.

A really lovely little space out of town but close enough to take advantage of the lovely restaurants and cafes in Port Fairy. The cottage was immaculate and is really well set up for much longer than we were able to stay this time round. would love to return for longer.

A beautiful little cottage with everything. Comfy, bed, clean, warm & the spa was amazing. Hosts were wonderful and so well organized. I loved that I could lay in bed and turn the tv to watch! It was so relaxing & just what we needed. We could walk to the beach or into town for a coffee. Loved it & will be back for sure.

A 7 minute drive to the town centre but also meant it didn’t have the downtown noice. A very quiet, cosy comfortable place with only six individual cottages.
Very well appointed and decorated room.

It was a lovely little place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
The property had what we needed. The only thing lacking was the hole in the fly screen on the back door which let the flies in.
The place itself was beautiful. I would go back.

Outstanding
Loved our stay in cottage no 4 which was beautifully presented and had everything you’d need if you wanted to self cater for a few days.
On the day we were scheduled to arrive we got a detailed text from Steve with directions and instructions as to where to park etc. which was very helpful.
Lovely grounds overlooking a small paddock with two friendly highland cattle.

Anna and Steve were lovely hosts, including everything in the cottage from tea and coffee, kitchen appliances and bathroom additions such as soaps and bath crystals. The cottage was beautifully designed and spacious, with a stunning back porch and front gardens with a fountain, large outdoor chess set and picnic areas made this holiday tranquil and welcoming. The guest book was extensive with information on the cottage and places in the area to visit. Thank you for having us, we loved our stay. Love Kristen and Angus xo

A lovely stay at an amazing place. The accommodation was clean and well maintained with it being close to town. We could come and go as we pleased and had time, space and privacy to ourselves. Very relaxing stay in a picturesque location. Thanks for an amazing stay.
