We loved our stay here. Our suite was spacious, comfortable and luxurious, and we were warmly welcomed. The in-house dining experience was superb, especially the pre-dinner drinks around an open fire, and chats with other guests. Scrumptious breakfast the next morning was a highlight too. Highly recommend this place!
The hotel is set in a period building, however the interiors are very modern, stylish and stunningly well designed. The service was excellent, and the breakfast (which was included in the room rate) was first class. We ate in the restaurant in the evening which served an excellent tapas meal which is great for sharing. I would highly recommend this hotel

An amazing place to stay with a fantastic locally sourced buffet breakfast equal to any 5 star hotel.

Easy walking to harbour and Griffth's Island.
Owners are very accommodating and friendly.
Absolutely recommend staying here if visiting Port Fairy
Rooms are beautiful. Great design and style. The owners are friendly and attentive. We stayed for 4 nights and only criticism was the sameness of the breakfast offer, but that is a very small gripe in anotherwise first class bed and breakfast
Beautiful well thought out accommodation. Very comfortable and clean. John and Coleen excellent hosts and very helpful and informative. Delicious home made breakfast. Would highly recommend.
Fabulous place to stay in the nice town of Port Fairy. Beautiful room with a balcony. Good recommendation for dinner. Yoyos in room were excellent. Good continental style breakfast
This is one of the most wonderful hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The room was just stunning, with lovely facilities and the bath was amazing.
The hosts were fab and couldn’t have done more, you definitely should book this hotel!
The style, peace and tranquility of the Drift House was wonderful. Port Fairy too, is the most charming and live-able, relaxed yet sophisticated and beautiful respite.
Phenomenal property, beautifully decorated. Large sitting area, very comfortable bed. Amazing amenities. Great location, walk to downtown and restaurants. Do-it-yourself very nice breakfast, good coffee. A great stop after the Great Ocean Road.
Wonderful stay. It’s a beautifully designed hotel, our room (room one) was stunning, clean and incredibly comfortable, with loads of space for us to relax in.
The owners are wonderful a give you amazing tips and suggestions for things to do in Port Fairy and where to eat.
We can’t wait to come back!
