Villa was clean and spacious with everything you would need. Swim spa was wonderful and relaxing. Upstairs bed was a tad hard but otherwise we had a very enjoyable stay.

The house accommodation was ideal for our family. Plenty of room and just a short drive to the centre of Port Fairy shops and restaurants. The large grounds provided privacy and the large spa was an added feature. Highly recommended.

Long weekend trip from Melbourne. Arrived on Thursday night to a warm property with the fire on. Large swim spa was nicely heated, some places have them too cold. Property too big for the two of us and so we just used downstairs but would be great for a family. 15 minute walk from Time and Tide high tea which was an amazing experience. 30 minutes walk into town. Waves crashing in the distance. Property on a quiet plot in a nice neighbourhood surrounded by a few little cottages. Very clean and everything you need to relax. Communication from Michael superb all the way through. Get it booked if you’re heading down there.

This 3 bedroom cottage was just so well stocked with everything you need. It has a wonderful laundry on site and all in all a great stay. We were lucky enough to meet the owners of the property which made is a very warm personal experience. The swim spa was a lovely addition to the facility.The owners will be brightening up the cottages gradually as the one we were in was a little dark inside but great condition inside.

I liked the automated check in service using the touch screen. Only suggestion would be to add an instruction to "turn" the open key box button. Not easy to see the turn arrow on the black button.

Spa bath check to see it’s working before you book

We booked this accommodation because to had a payable spa pool. When we arrived it was not working. It looked as though it had been out of order for some time. Can you ensure that those wishing to book this accommodation are informed BEFORE they book. Accommodation needs updating internally but we note it is up for sale.
