Dear guest, We welcome pets at our cottage. We fully support those who hate leaving their best friends behind, but we also wish to maintain a comfortable environment for others. It is very important to us that NO PETS ENTER THE BEDROOMS, bathroom, or get on the furniture. If you have children with you please ensure they also understand this rule so they can keep doors closed etc. Dogs are not to be left unattended when inside the house. The cottage is fully fenced and you can wash your dog outside if required. We would really appreciate your assistance with minimising hair build up on the carpet. This is best achieved by giving the cottage a quick vacuum each day. All pet evidence is to be removed from the premises prior to departure. And finally, it is a good idea to bring your pet's own bedding.

our rates are very flexible depending on the season, last minute, number of guests,number of days etc etc. FOR DISCOUNT RATES PLEASE LIKE US ON FACEBOOK

The house was fine and acceptable for the purpose of our stay.The kitchen is really well equipped for home cooking (be warned..the supermarket is VERY expensive & the restaurants are over priced).There are a lot of things at the house (cards, games, play station 2) to do if the wester isn't beach appropriate.The house is a pleasent stroll to the shops and pubs.

Nice little cottage close to town

My elderly parents and two scottie dogs spent a comfortable few days at the cottage. It perfectly suited our needs, and was an easy walk to the Main Street, and the water front. Only thing we missed was the ability to make a cup of tea upon arrival, as no tea/coffee or milk was provided.

Lovely stay in Port Fairy

Stayed one night at the White House in Port Fairy as part of our Great Ocean Road tripHouse was in great location We could walk into town for all the shops & cafesIt is full of character If you want really modern bathrooms/showers and luxury accommodation feel don’t stay here But we loved it because it is full of history and takes you back to the time of the early settlers Very clean and the beds were very comfyPort Fairy is a wonderful place to stay with beautiful walks out to the lighthouse We went very early and came across a family group of very tame swamp wallabies - magical!
