Carpets could do with a good steam clean but apart from that it was perfect ##### Jo M. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Joe C. 16 Dec 2019 Liked: Check-in, location #### Port Fairy Getaway This is a very comfortable spacious house in a great location. We have stayed here many years ago when it was in pristine condition, unfortunately it has not been maintained and is now needing attention. Fortunately the positives outweigh the negatives and we would be happy to return. ##### Joe C. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### RobZ 9 Mar 2018 #### Pity about the Air Conditioning Shearwater is a lovely and relaxing place to stay. The upstairs area has splendid views and LOTS of glass. It gets very warm. It was therefore irritating that for the second year in a row the air conditioning did not work for any of the 7 day stay and we boiled. The carpet is now in need of a good clean or replacement. ##### RobZ This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### WalkersandDiners 5 Dec 2017 #### Excellent for us!
