Social; a great place to spend relaxing time chatting with other travellers from all walks of life.

There's a wonderfully comfortable sense of being at home at the guesthouse. Decor is quirky and interesting, attention to detail is event everywhere from the gorgeous vases of fresh flowers to the carefully chosen cosy crochet rugs and comfy cushions.

Thank you so much to the host for upgrading my room! The kitchen was fully equipped, the dining room was cozy, and there were helpful tips everywhere, showing how much care the host put into the place. They gave me many helpful suggestions during my stay, and I'm very grateful. I'll definitely come back again.

Beautiful Building.

We like the decoration of the whole building that retains the decoration of the Victoria period, which is very beautiful! I also feel relax and happy here. Thank you.

Comfy and relaxing

It’s a beautiful and well cared place, with a lot of lovely places to sit around and relax in the common areas. The room was very comfortable, clean and warm. The staff is also very friendly, willing to help and give great recommendations. It’s been the best hostel where I have stayed in Australia!

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

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.
