The room was a good size and clean. There is no air-conditioning and no ventilation which made the room stuffy even though it was not too hot outside. Even the on suite has no exhaust fan which steamed up the room.

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.

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.

Peak season over the New Year, but the rooms are built well with almost no noise from adjacent rooms. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. Check in and out was easy and friendly. Good garden and barbecue available, and the location right in the centre of town is incredible.

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.

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.

Classic motel just off the Main Street. Friendly reception, smallish room. Clean with exception of lots of crickets but we heard there has been a current invasion of crickets. Water is heavily treated by the city so properties there do have some taste in the water. Had enough kitchenette items for a couple.

We were booked in for 3 nights but ended up checking out after 1. The rooms are really tiny and outdated and it just wasn't a room we enjoyed staying in. The owner was nice and refunded our money for the 2 nights.
