+ We loved this place. Lovely private room that was clean with an en-suite. We made use of the shared kitchen which was clean and well equipped. We only stayed one night in port fairy but we really enjoyed it

Unfortunately only stayed for one night while passing through on a time restrained road trip. But the space was very unique in character and you could tell it was well loved and well taken care of. Would for sure stay again next time I’m in Port Fairy.

+ Everything was easy and comfortable. A great location, easy walk to everything in town and the beds were very comfy.

- The noisy people outside our room at 11:30pm. They did move when asked.

+ It’s a beautiful and well cared place, with a lot of lovely places to sit around and relax in the common areas. The room was very comfortable, clean and warm. The staff is also very friendly, willing to help and give great recommendations. It’s been the best hostel where I have stayed in Australia!

+ Perfect place for a mini break down the coast. Close to everything, relaxing, fantastic facilities and friendly staff. So many different spaces to relax or recharge, fully stocked kitchen, one of the cleanest hostels I have had the pleasure of staying in. I would highly recommend and definitely stay again next time I visit Port Fairy.

- That I couldn't stay longer

The beds are super old and the rooms could use a clean. It’s not a bad hostel, but I certainly wouldn’t stay here long term. The beds should definitely have curtains too.
