About the host
Hosted by Hearns Port Fairy Accommodation
We moved to Port Fairy three years ago but have only recently purchased this property. We love this little town as it has so much to offer all within walking distance. You will find the people are friendly and very helpful. We’ve renovated the inside of the cottage and next year we will be updating the outside as well. We love meeting people and are happy to assist you with any queries you may have.
Why they chose this property
Beautifully presented, ideally located and reasonably priced. What more we can say.
What makes this property unique
Location, location, location. The ideal position to walk everywhere so no need for the car unless you wish to travel out of town. The cottage is extremely well presented and we take pride in ensuring it is spotless. Stunning large stone open fireplace which our guests have all loved.
