La Dolce Vita – The Sweet Life Starts Here
Italian for “the sweet life” or “the good life,” La Dolce Vita perfectly captures the essence of relaxation, ease, and the joy found in life’s simple pleasures. This beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in Port Fairy offers everything you need for an unforgettable holiday.
From the moment you arrive and park in the spacious double garage, you'll be swept away. Step through the front door into a wide hallway that leads into a stunning open-plan living area. Here, cathedral ceilings soar above you, while a wall of glass frames the garden outside and floods the space with natural light.
The main living area invites you to sink into the expansive leather sofas, pop on a movie on the large-screen TV, or curl up beside the gas log fire with a good book. Feeling nostalgic? Put on a record—the vintage player adds a charming touch. And if you’re up for a day trip, don’t miss a visit to Revival Records in Portland, just a short drive away. While you’re there, ride the cable tram and grab some fresh strawberries from Portland Strawberries.
Access the garage via the living space and in the extra space you will find a pool table.
The fully equipped kitchen will delight any home chef, featuring a double oven, double fridge, gas cooktop, and a separate butler’s pantry. A Breville coffee machine awaits for your morning brew, and the breakfast bar is the perfect spot for a quick bite or a chilled-out chat. The adjacent dining area seats eight and flows into a generous outdoor space—complete with a BBQ, al fresco dining setting, and a large, grassy backyard ideal for kids to play. You will also find a high chair for your use if needed.
Need to check in at work? There’s a dedicated office space tucked just off the kitchen. Here you can make use of the range of books and board games, loser does the washing up!
Nearby, the laundry is equipped with a washer, dryer, and separate toilet for added convenience.
Bonus second living area? Absolutely. This relaxed zone features an L-shaped sofa, TV, split system, toys for the kids, and glass doors opening to the deck and backyard.

The central bathroom offers a full-sized bath, large walk-in shower, and a separate toilet.
Nestled in the heart of Port Fairy, a coastal town rich with charm, you’ll be surrounded by the simple delights of seaside living. Heritage cottages dot the quiet streets, Norfolk pines sway gently overhead, and the salty breeze drifts in from the nearby harbour. As the sun sets behind Griffiths Island Lighthouse, the world feels a little slower, a little sweeter.
Welcome to La Dolce Vita.
Your perfect Port Fairy escape awaits—let the sweet life begin.
