"Home away from home in Port Fairy - the perfect location for a mini adventure or getaway"

10.0

Perfect place for a mini break down the coast. Close to everything, relaxing, fantastic facilities and friendly staff. So many different spaces to relax or recharge, fully stocked kitchen, one of the cleanest hostels I have had the pleasure of staying in. I would highly recommend and definitely stay again next time I visit Port Fairy.

"Great shared spaces"

9.0

Really nice property. We kindly got upgraded to a private room. Lovely shared spaces - TV room / outside.

The kitchen was slightly too small - imagine when it’s full it’s slightly busy. There wasn’t any form of social vibe here if that’s what you are looking for
