Enjoy a winter getaway to one of Port Fairy's Winter Weekends. After a day of music and art, have dinner at one of the many delicious restaurants before retreating to an evening in front of your very own cosy wood fireplace. In the summer relish the summer sun by surfing East Beach or at the family friendly Pea Soup Cove with its volcanic rock ring that provides a pool like sea for swimming. Or you could spend the afternoon relaxing on the large undercover backyard, the fully enclosed backyard is bordered by trees which provides you with privacy and a lovely summer experience with enough room for that game of backyard cricket - great for children & pets! This 3 bedroom home provides a lovely couples retreat in Port Fairy, and although it only has 1 bathroom there is a second separate toilet as well as outside shower (hot) to warm up after a swim or surf. Enjoy this home away from home while exploring all that Port Fairy has to offer. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 0.5 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the sea ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.

Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Merinda R. 10 May 2019 #### Loved all the artwork! Some things weren't great for a toddler. Artwork was amazing and the home is clearly loved by the owners. There were some things that weren't ideal for a toddler, like the fire barrier and open cupboards. It was cozy though and walking distance to town. ##### Merinda R. Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth L. 25 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Arty nana’s cottage Lovely, spacious backyard with heaps of decking for lazy outdoor reading and dining. Floorboards and lots of art throughout - really like going to a fun nana’s with loved pieces of furniture collected together from diff eras, but with a cool aesthetic. Great indoor dining room. Actually sharp kitchen knives, and actually non stick frying pans - this is the first holidays I haven’t bought some due to sheer frustration. Nb. Not much storage space for food apart from a good big fridge. We had a very, very comfy king bed. 2 blocks from shops. Not much further to the river/beaches. Dogs had a ball, and the 2 humans adored it. ##### Elizabeth L. Stayed 12 nights in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mike B. 22 Nov 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Disappointing Whilst surfaces were clean, the property was very tired and dirty (e.g., light fittings, windows, doors, front entrance, back deck, etc). Rear garden was unkept, back deck unusable, plagued with mosquitos (due to grass), no fly screens! Location was also noisy and this should be highlighted. ##### Mike B. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Penny E. 3 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Grear Location was great.
