Guest Reviews
- Jeremy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michael (9/5): Lovely restful stay in a beautiful township - Lovely modern unit. Great view directly onto the river. Very quiet location.
Very comfortable overall. Friendly helpful hostess. Definitely needed a larger fridge. The one installed was tiny.
- Steven (9/5): Superb -
- Trevor (9/5): Superb -
- Shane (9/5): Lovely. - Gorgeous space and fabulous location No sink in mini kitchen
- Adri (8/5): Perfect retreat to sit watch the birds boats and life go by, dump your watch and grab a glass/cup - Self catering breakfast was very ample and catered well with lovely fresh bread, spreads and ground coffee and various tea. Real milk instead of long life cartons - a treat.
Sitting in the lounge area just bathed in sunshine and looking out over the water and the boats, the easy access along the boardwalk down the river and a short walk in to town.
For that beautiful care free getaway it was perfect. Big plus! the bed was comfy but there was also an electric blanket! which was gleefully used as it gets a bit chilly in October so we were snuggled and happy. Im going back, just to sit and enjoy that view, even in mid winter it would be perfect as the accommodations were adequately heated and cozy. No cooking facilities in the room other than a toaster and kettle but who goes away to cook. There are beautiful eateries in the town. A small sink on the kitchen worktop area to wash up cups etc after breakfast instead of using bathroom, but, as we were told to just leave any dishes that needed to be washed outside on the table, that was our fault, im just a neat freak! We were offered the luxury of someone else doing it, and really it wasnt a problem at all. I just felt guilty
- Mike (9/5): great - great location on the river re access to walks all good
- Pamela (10/5): Exceptional - We had an excellent stay, Karen and Garry were lovely hosts. The accommodation was excellent and very private. The location was perfect for our stay. The breakfast hamper was great and replenished every day. Will definitely be back.
- Alasdair (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely top notch Nothing
- Christine (8/5): Very good -
- Sharon (10/5): Perfect unit for a short stay. - Loved the location, the breakfast hamper and the unit was perfect for us. The host Karen was very responsive and contact was informative and considerate with updated info when required. Nothing.
Just a suggestion would be to mount the tv on the wall which would increase the bench space available for preparing the delicious breakfast provided.
- Andrea (8/5): Clean and well positioned but too costly for what it is. - Great location
Breakfast basket was nice Small bed
- Daryl (10/5): Excellent everything! - Very comfortable little unit with nice touches like a box of chocolates with the breakfast hamper. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Extremely clean and well presented. Would highly recommend. Great position.
- Vincent (10/5): Karen was a very good host and the unit was modern and comfortable - Very comfortable and clean with a great location. Sitting on the waterfront looking out at the great view with a coffee or a glass of wine was very pleasant.
- John (10/5): nice place nice people - plenty of it nothing
- Peter (9/5): godd stay - Just very nice the only thing could have improved the stay bas abigger TV and a little Microwave to warm brought in food no Microwave and tv very small
- William (9/5): We loved the setting with garden at the back and river at the front. The rooms/bathroom immaculate. - The breakfast was good and healthy. Location was perfect. The couch wasn’t very comfortable. A bit more kitchen bench space would have been good, maybe the tv on the wall would have given us that.
- Winifred (10/5): Stunning Accommodation in Picturesque Port Fairy - The Boatshed is stunning accommodation in picturesque Port Fairy. The architecture of the area is so beautiful, with a backdrop of coastal and estuary views. The Boatshed is walking distance to all restaurants and amenities. The host was helpful and friendly. Little surprise packs of biscuits and treats were provided. Nothing. We will be back - everything was perfect, the only downside was only having 2 nights there. Next time we will stay longer.
- Michelle (9/5): Will definitely book again. - Perfect location right on river and walking distance to almost everything.
Breakfast goodies were yummy too.

- Alan (10/5): Fabulous waterside stay - Beautiful place on the waters edge . The owner could not do enough for us and so welcoming
- Marcel (10/5): River board walks outside the property, walks to a lighthouse, along beaches. Good restaurant foods - The B&B was excellent with the proprietors going out of his/her way to make us feel comfortable, providing us with more than sufficient breakfast items and also offering and making a reservation in two restaurants for us as well as a ferry booking, for which we were most grateful. There was nothing we did not like.
- Raymond (9/5): A lovely stay alongside the river in port fairy - The location was lovely alongside the water and was not difficult to find.. The place was very clean tidy and comfortable. It was an easy walk into the town centre and also along the river to local walks to the seafront.
- Judith (10/5): Very comfortable and situated right on the river. - The breakfast basket was full of a large range of breakfast foods plus additional food in the refrigerator. Absolutely nothing.....Karen was a lovely host.

- Kathy (10/5): Exceptional -

- Anthony (10/5): A perfect spot for a long weekend break or longer. - I had a fabulous 3 night stay at the boatshed in early December. The location overlooking the water was great regardless of the weather, and there are plenty of places to walk to and discover nearby. It’s a short walk (10 mins) into town for eateries and coffee, although the continental breakfast provisions provided daily were generous, fresh and thoughtful. The accommodation was very comfortable and restful. The tv reception was a bit hit and miss in windy weather but I quickly found it was a nice change to do without it. The hosts Karen and Garry were hospitable and helpful. I would happily stay there again. I wouldn’t change a thing.
