- Susie Hitchcock (10/5): One of the highlights of our Victorian 4 week tour - Dianne provided plenty of quality food, even some port and chocolates, and was very helpful with info about the area, things to see, where to eat. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, garden was lovely ... including a wild rabbit... with fruit trees and particularly beautiful roses. And alpacas in the adjoining paddock (not belonging to the cottage). We definitely plan to return. Nothing

- Ridgway (8/5): The surroundings were lovely, our Host was most obliging (providing a BBQ for us) - Not taken up. I guess the furniture in the room seemed crowded and some of it might have been old not antique. Certainly the bathroom was clean but in need of modernisation. But everything worked so it was a very pleasant over a very long trip.

It was so inviting and comfortable. All the little things were covered, port and chocolates, chargers on your bedside table, little biscuits, Vegemite- the list goes on. The gardens are so pretty and peaceful, watching the bird life was so relaxing. Nothing, it was all perfect.
- Rae (9/5): - Everything was supplied and thoughtful.
- Sue Kearon (9/5): - Perfect cosy, comfortable stay

Super attentive host Dianne provided bread, milk, bottled water, port & chocky - so generous & helpful: recommended restaurant for our special occasion (also a big hit). Room was well set out & had all we needed for a great stay Port Fairy water is truly disgusting (we'd forgotten) but our kindly host provided bottle water

The host met us to show us around and answer any questions. She left us fresh bread and milk, which was a lovely touch.
When there was a minor plumbing problem, the host was incredibly responsive and had a plumber in to fix it very quickly.
Port Fairy is a beautiful location. The cabins are a short drive from the waterfront and activities in Port Fair itself. If you're on foot, it's probably not ideal.

A five minute drive from the centre of Port Fairy, it was easy to access the town and also the surrounding attractions. The hosts were friendly and helpful too! We visited the spa in Warrnambool during our stay which was a real treat, and the Budj Bim World Heritage area was amazing. Don't miss the food at the Tae Rak cafe! We also recommend a visit to Blarney Books, and to see what is being exhibited at Glyph Gallery in Port Fairy and at the Warrnambool Regional Art Gallery. Northing.
