We had lovely, relaxed stay at the cottage. Loved the originality, character and old world charm. Set in private shady gardens with several different seating options. Comfortable bed, homely kitchen had everything we needed, the whole place super clean. Our host Simon was very welcoming even to our best friend old Bear Girl our Labrador. Definitely recommend this little get away.

Goldie’s Cottage a treat for us and our 4 legged friends
We had such a lovely time at Simons 1850s Goldies cottage.Perfect for us, and our 2 big dogs loved the big fenced yards.They gave Simon plenty of licks when he came to show us the workings of the gate etc.We hired bikes and it was an easy 1.6km ride to town along the old rail trail.Watched some lovely sunsets and enjoyed one of the 3 fire places in the cottage on several nights.We certainly hope to return in the future and maybe do the whole rail trail from Port Fairy to Warnambool

Great little cottage
Magnificent original Port Fairy cottage, with two comfortable bedrooms and two separate lounge areas. Also two seperate bathroom and shower areas made it easy for 4 adults. Garden areas great for the dogs and having a cuppa looking across paddocks.bathroom/showers
