About this property

Dromore - Spacious, central apartment set in a gorgeous garden

Our spacious two-storied apartment is situated in a beautiful garden behind our home. It is attached to our home by decking but is completely self-contained with it's own entrance. There is free off-street parking and private garden. Guests have complete privacy and can come and go as they please.

Free wifi is provided and Chromecast is set up on the TV.

The apartment has three bedrooms accommodating six - two queen size beds (one upstairs, one downstairs) and two single beds (both upstairs). The upstairs queen-bedroom can only be accessed by walking through the single-bed bedroom but a thick privacy screen can be drawn across for those using the single beds.

The apartment offers a kitchen with everything you could need to cook for yourselves, and a spacious sitting area and sunny light-filled dining area.

The bathroom and laundry are separate ends of a single utility room and share a common sink. The laundry has a family sized washing machine and clothes dryer with laundry powder etc provided.

Tea and coffee, biscuits, milk, fruit and pure rain-water is provided free of charge.

There are two toilets - one upstairs, one downstairs.

We have hydronic heating in all rooms and a choice of air-conditioning or pedestal fans for cooling.

It is a short stroll to Port Fairy's main attractions - shops, restaurants, galleries, and the beautiful Moyne River, the wharf and East Beach.

Guests have both a beautiful secluded garden and a private decking to enjoy - quiet places to enjoy a picnic or read a book, have a coffee or a wine.

Port Fairy is a small rural town. The apartment is close to other houses and a small, free-range poultry run. Guests will be able to hear the chickens, neighbouring dogs and other rural noises. Children are welcome to help us feed the chickens and to collect the eggs.

We have a gentle old Labrador dog called Coco and a friendly visiting cat called Mittens. You might see either during your stay so please let us know if you’d rather they were kept away.

Lovely quiet place to stay but central

2 nights here and it was great. The gardens are amazing with a lovely place to sit outside. Listen to the chooks happily doing their thing. The owner was lovely and very welcoming and the cottage was very well appointed with everything we needed. You could walk to the centre of town so very convenient. Really enjoyed our stay, and can highly recommend it.

Our stay at Dromore was brief as passing through on a road trip with friends. But the whole experience could not be faulted. Good communication, well outfitted and comfortable home and beautiful gardens. Easy walk into town. Would definitely look to rebook on next visit to Port Fairy.

Perfect spot for a short stay in Port Fairy

The apartment was very clean, warm, and cosy. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and coffee. There is also a friendly cat who is keen for pats. The owner was very easy to communicate with, and check-in was effortless. I highly recommend this property.
