Port Fairy Sojourn

A great property walking distance to the centre of town. Very comfortable with large indoor/outdoor area which we spent time in relaxing, eating, throwing a ball for the dog. The town was lovely and has a very nice craft shop and many eateries. The beaches are great.Very relaxing.
