Everything was fine. It is an oldish motel style building in the center of town. The staff was friendly & the room was clean. There was fresh milk in the fridge. It is close to eating places for dinner and breakfast. We had a nice walk along the river which is also close by. There is also a good Visitor Center in Port Fairy. Would stay here again.

Great location, as we wanted a relaxing stop and a drink (so no driving). The facilities are probably in need of an update in some areas, though this didn't detract from our stay.

Check in was super quick & easy. We were even given a bottle of fresh milk for our cuppas, which was great. The property is literally footsteps from the main drag where we found a selection of cafes & restaurants for dining convenience. Well maintained grounds offer the opportunity to enjoy a BBQ meal or takeaway in warmer weather. Highly recommended.

I liked that the motel was right on the Main Street of Port Fairy, easy access to restaurants etc. convenient. We had little interaction with staff. Coming from Canada, I’m not a big fan of places that offer dishes to use, and then having to wash them in the bathroom sink. Perhaps that is unique to Australia. Room was clean.
