The hotel was centrally, located very close to everything within walking distance. The room was on the smaller side and the finishing a little bit dated. Otherwise pretty much functional and suitable for a one night stay. there was plenty of parking.

Dianne
Great location. Friendly staff on reception. Very helpful. Easy walk to Griffith island and many different options for eating. Hotel could do with updating but clean and had everything we needed. Good value for money. Would recommend it overall.
Nigel
Lovely large room, walkable as very central and easy to park.
Janet
great room very comfortable and everything one needed ! and lovely welcome thanks
Joanna
Everything was fine. It is an oldish motel style building in the center of town. The staff was friendly & the room was clean. There was fresh milk in the fridge. It is close to eating places for dinner and breakfast. We had a nice walk along the river which is also close by. There is also a good Visitor Center in Port Fairy. Would stay here again.

Bathroom Light was strobing harder then a disco in the 1980's reported it 3 times nothing was done?

Great location, as we wanted a relaxing stop and a drink (so no driving).
The facilities are probably in need of an update in some areas, though this didn't detract from our stay.

Great stay!
Only a one night stay but a very comfortable and lovely one! The bed and pillows were great and everything was so clean and the shower pressure was excellent.
Elizabeth
Check in was super quick & easy. We were even given a bottle of fresh milk for our cuppas, which was great.
The property is literally footsteps from the main drag where we found a selection of cafes & restaurants for dining convenience.
Well maintained grounds offer the opportunity to enjoy a BBQ meal or takeaway in warmer weather.
Highly recommended.

Nice stay in Port Fairy.
Classic motel just off the Main Street. Friendly reception, smallish room. Clean with exception of lots of crickets but we heard there has been a current invasion of crickets. Water is heavily treated by the city so properties there do have some taste in the water. Had enough kitchenette items for a couple.
John
I had a great stay and I'd highly recommend it. The room was excellent and the staff were very helpful and friendly and the location is central and very convenient.
Laurence
Very nice woman greeted us upon check-in. The motel is very central....just down a private driveway from the main street, in fact. The room was quiet and comfortable. Id stay there again.
Roger
Very helpful reception staff- central location was perfect with walk to shops and cafes. Great towels and bed linen
Sally
The best thing about this property is its location. It is walking distance to everything. It also had a decent sized room which was very clean and usable.
Kathie
I liked that the motel was right on the Main Street of Port Fairy, easy access to restaurants etc. convenient. We had little interaction with staff.
Coming from Canada, I’m not a big fan of places that offer dishes to use, and then having to wash them in the bathroom sink. Perhaps that is unique to Australia.

Very centrally located as the motel title suggests. Clean and spacious rooms with lovely people at the front desk. Fresh milk on arrival and easy key drop off on departure. Good showers, well stocked bar fridge and extremely clean. No air conditioning so room got a little warm but thankfully not hot weather.
Very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Disappointed with room and amenities. Not the most comfortable bed
Melanie
We were booked in for 3 nights but ended up checking out after 1. The rooms are really tiny and outdated and it just wasn't a room we enjoyed staying in. The owner was nice and refunded our money for the 2 nights.
David
The room was a good size and clean.
There is no air-conditioning and no ventilation which made the room stuffy even though it was not too hot outside. Even the on suite has no exhaust fan which steamed up the room.

Peak season over the New Year, but the rooms are built well with almost no noise from adjacent rooms. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. Check in and out was easy and friendly. Good garden and barbecue available, and the location right in the centre of town is incredible.

EV's and big ICE fkkers
Comfortable, clean. Tesla drivers make sure you tell them on booking (I didn't) as a great big 4x4 ICE was blocking the Tesla charging park. It seems to be big dirty diesels that block every time. Fortunately the lead was long enough to juggle a spot till I was charged up. Added to detaiks PlugShare. Good destination charger.

Great location right in the middle of Port Fairy, close to restaurants. Nice, neat and tidy facilities, beds comfy enough and good shower pressure! Parking is good so long as you get in early and beat the ‘crooked parking’ patrons, otherwise it’s tight for suvs. Peter the motelier is very accomodating and friendly.

The room had a beautiful colour scheme and a very good shower.
The cost per night was excessive.

There's no airconditioner in the room. The room was noisy as the window was directly beside the stairs which went up to the next level - had to have the window open because no A/C but then had to deal with some very noisy guests who stopped on the stairs to talk loudly on and off all the time we were there.
Verified traveler
Everything in the room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Apart from the bathroom (which was still quite ok) the room appeared to have had a recent makeover, including new bedding.

This motel has an amazing position, right in the middle of town. Every place was walkable from it. Great restaurants 5 minutes walk away.
The motel rooms are a bit tired but adequate. Quiet , safe area.

I guess the best thing about this motel was that it was right in the middle of town, which meant that I could just walk out the door and there I was, on the main street. Well, it was more than that, but that convenience certainly did help. The rooms were actually quite nice, and rather comfortable, and they weren’t too noisy either, but then again this does happen to be Port Fairy, which means that noise isn’t really an issue that you have to deal with. Yeah, it was a pretty good motel, and quite a decent place to stay.
