Relaxing Stay

We enjoyed this property being right on the waterfront and close distance to Port Fairy town centre. It was neat, warm and comfortable. It was lovely to watch the waves out from the view of the front windows.

The Waves is a great name for this house - we were able to watch the waves and surfers riding them while sitting on the couch, making meals in the kitchen and while eating. The location is a short drive to the wharf, lighthouse and city centre ( could walk but we have 2 young kids). Booking, checkin and information provided by the site management were all very easy.

Perfect!

Stayed with my family on the weekend of the Port Fairy Marathon and what a delightful spot! The house has everything you need and the living room area is gorgeous. The couch, as per the other reviews, is exceedingly comfortable!

Great trip

We’ll set up house with everything you need and lovely views across the water, and a short walk into town. Agents were a pleasure to deal with. Only one toilet which is in the bathroom which can require some planning.

Beautiful property- wonderful view

Comfortable stay with everything we needed. Fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and magnificent view of the ocean. Only thing that could have been better was if the windows facing the ocean had been cleaned.

Short break away

We loved our stay at "the waves". We found the property to be clean and very child friendly. Furniture was comfortable especially the couch in the lounge room. Kitchen was equipped with everything you could possibly need. Will definately stay there again.
