This was a good and convenient lodge attached to a pub next door. Note that the reception closes by 10pm, so make sure you get in early if you're driving! The staff was also friendly and helpful with suggestions for the town.

Great overnight choice. No fuss check in, room neat, tidy and clean, microwave, kettle, toaster, crockery & cutlery supplied. Bathroom was excellent size, looks recently renovated. Plenty of room for toiletries etc Adjoining pub was great, its the oldest continually licensed pub in Australia. Meals were good, place was quite busy when we were there. Be aware it is part of a hotel that has music Fri & Sat nights, so if you are looking for somewhere quiet this is probably not for you.

What a lovely historic hotel. A great choice for a one night stay in Port Fairy. The room has a huge up to date bathroom which other than being a bit cold was a great modern feature. Very comfortable bed and we enjoyed a delicious meal in the pub.

These rooms might have been either rooms for guests or stables for horses for the guests staying at this hotel many years ago, either way they have been refurbished and are very clean and modern inside, just a little small. The amenities were the usual offerings with tea, coffee and biscuits, a toaster was also offered, I must remember to bring a few slices of bread next time. Perhaps just a small offering of some cereal would be a nice touch, it would be very little cost, but it would make such a difference to most people who don't want a big breakfast.
