About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned apartment, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

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.

This is a completely separate house at the back of the main residence but kept very private via some amazing gardens that anyone visiting with some interest in gardening will just love. The house itself is also beautifully presented.

This spotless roomy apartment is effectively half a house set in the owners’ spectacular back garden , which we were lucky enough to see in Spring. Very private and quiet, with a well equipped kitchen. We wish we could have stayed longer.

The garden was one of the nicest I have ever seen. The house had so many lovely touches - beautiful fresh flowers in the rooms, information about the town, fruit, and everything you need. Happy chickens and a fluffy cat were bonuses. Overall, fantastic. Port Fairy is lovely too.

Great location. Stunning garden. Paved area for outdoor play. The chickens were a “hit” with the grandchildren as was the dog. The layout worked well for 3 generations of family.

Overnight stay for 4 seniors.
The property was very well maintained and well presented. The owner checked in briefly to see if all was okay and adjusted the heating to ensure our comfort. The cottage was suitable for six guests and we four enjoyed our brief stay there.
