A gorgeous Victorian cottage represents that heritage feel of Port Fairy.

Palm Cottage is made for families. Kick a ball with the kids or duck & weave a game of tag around the trees, your kids will love the space as much as the well loved 4 legged fur baby you may be travelling with.

The introduction to Palm Cottage begins with towering palms over lush green lawn. Unusual in Port Fairy this home offers large front and back lawn while retaining your privacy. Enter inside and find crisp white walls with simple splashes of colour that help create a relaxing home away from home. With 3 bedrooms it is ideally suited to a family looking for a central retreat that offers that little bit more space both inside and out.

With this home not only are you situated close to town but are also only a short walking distance to South Beach where snorkeling, crab hunting & fishing will create many family memories to cherish. Head to Martin's Point playground where you might be lucky enough to spot Sammy the resident seal or the familiar Stingrays that flounder around the rivers edge. Martin's Point is also the starting point of the scenic Griffiths Island walking track that takes you over the river to Port Fairy's very own Lighthouse. Griffiths Island hosts one of Port Fairy's most spectacular summer sights with the arrival of the mutton birds or short-tailed shearwaters at sunset each day on Griffith Island towards the end of September.

This home is a fantastic choice for any family and offers a great base for your next Port Fairy adventure.

We enjoyed our stay and loved the old world charm of the house. The absence of WiFi is the only negative.

A great place for a doggo-friendly break away
The property was a traditional timber cottage located close to the water and the shops (within easy walking distance). It was very clean and easily accommodated three adults and our dog. The heating was fabulous (it was a pretty cold winter weekend), and there was a lovely outside and secure yard. Everything was clean and tidy and the beds were comfy. There’s loads of books and some games, so plenty to do if you want a lazy afternoon. We’d definitely stay here again.

Excellent property!
We had a great couple of days in Port Fairy & Palm House was fabulous. The property was so clean and fresh, spacious & thoughtfully decorated. Really handy to the shopping centre and plenty of room for our furry friend. The only thing I would have preferred would be a separate shower and access to Wi-Fi, but overall great place and will bookagain. Thank you!

Authentic, tastefully simplistic, comfortable cottage in great location
We loved the tasteful simplicity of the cottage and the almost meditative garden, big enough for our fury family members to have a good sniff and run around. The location is ideal for walks into town, the various beaches and coastal parks, as well as Griffith island. The huge hedges in the backyard provide total privacy and the interior of the cottage is comfortable and cheerful. We loved the artworks and overall happy, non pretentious atmosphere. We will be back, for sure.

Palm Cottage
Had a very relaxing stay at Palm Cottage in Port Fairy. We loved the cottage and the town of Port Fairy. The position was excellent, only a short walk to beach and town centre where we enjoyed a few meals at the local cafes and restaurants. Being able to take our golden retriever with us on a holiday was a bonus. We would definately go back - although a more comfy mattress may be better for our backs when staying for a lenghty period - but minor issue. We loved it.

Pretty as a picture
Pros: location for beach and dog park, hydronic heating top notch, gorgeous garden, shade trees, wooden floors and indoor light, bbq and sharp kitchen knives! Cons: kitchen in need of upgrading so not good for cooking meals, no outdoor shelter for dogs in back garden when it rains, uncomfortable kitchen chairs, double sized bed in second room (not queen). When we arrived the grass was quite long so we enquired about the lawn cutting schedule. A very prompt response saw the lawn cut within a couple of hours. Overall a lovely place to stay, thank you.

Lovely comfortable house in a nice part of town
It was a lovely older style house but very comfortable, neat and tidy. It was in a great location within walking distance of cafes, restaurants and the beach. We enjoyed our stay very much. Only thing on our wish list which would push this to 5 stars - the grass could have been cut in advance. It was getting longish and there were weeds and grass seeds in the front and back yard, which is a worry as we chose this property so our dog could enjoy running in the garden. Nevertheless a wonderful stay. Thank you.
