So peaceful it's hard to believe you are within short walking distance of the main street of Port Fairy. And sure enough, plovers do frequent the back yard and occasionally enliven the air with their slightly haunting cry. We just loved our time here. ##### Richard H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sanket D. 28 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A relaxing Easter break We had a great stay at Plover's Rest.

Absolutely loved staying at this little cottage. Very clean and felt very ‘homey’.Has everything you need, very comfortable, short walk to the shops, quiet street. Enjoyed sitting at the kitchen table and the lounge looking out to the garden which had plenty of fruit trees. Ate plums and nectarines. Has french doors which open to an outdoor seating area, where you could enjoy a barbecue. Flowers on table nice touch. ##### Helen B. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard H. 30 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Child friendly A very pleasant blending of old and new interiors and a garden full of ancient fruit trees. The strong connection between the main living space and the backyard is great: making it very safe and relaxing with the children playing outdoors. The huge and venerable peppercorn tree in the front garden scents the whole yard with its delicious perfume in the early morning. ##### Richard H. ### 6/10 Okay #### Alana W. 9 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent location and open space We loved our stay here! Port Fairy is such a lovely place to visit with plenty to do for all ages. Perfect location, lovely rustic clean cottage. A little draughty and musty smelling. Needs a bit of a freshen up in comparison to others we have stayed in for same $. But good value for $. ##### Alana W.
