“Would highly recommend Douglas Riverview apts. Our host was great too.”
A bonus to receive bread, condiments, milk & OJ. Plus chocolates. Location was perfect, with river view. We were fortunate to be upgraded to a 3 bedroom apt as there were 2 of us. So spacious & ideal for entertaining guests🤭

“A Great Short Break in Port Fairy”
Very clean and tidy unit. Kitchenette has adequate appliances, utensils, crockery etc. Living and dinning area well furnished, adequate room and comfortable. Great location, a short and easy flat walk to the CBD and river/Wharf. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. We have stayed here about 12mths ago and the high standard was consistent across both visits.
