Comfortable stay in a lovely town.

This conveniently-located house suited us (three women) perfectly for our two-night stay. Close to the ocean if you fancy a stroll and only a four-minute drive into Port Fairy’s centre. Clean, room to move, comfortable beds - it’s all you could want for a fuss-free stay.

Lovely stay in a beautiful home

We loved our stay in the beautiful Ocean Spray Retreat. The house was clean, well equiped, had beautiful light and a wonderful summer holiday feel. The garden is beautiful will newly planted natives and lush green grass where our dogs enjoyed playing. It’s also just a short walk from the lovely Pea Soup beach. We loved our stay and highly recommend the house and would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Port Fairy.

Lovely location and perfect for dogs.

The property has a lovely aspect and location and the backyard is definitely the best part. Unfortunately some of the house could have used a more thorough clean as the bathroom left a bit to be desired as far as the clean along with a Fair amount of dust around the lounge area. Otherwise good and the Beds were very comfortable.

Post ISO getaway

Overall this little house is perfect for a few days break, we were hoping for a bbq and fire pit and an area out the back for the kids to ride there bikes but they had to do that out the front instead, and we were unable to do the other, photos suggested this was an option. But the location of the property was amazing. Great getaway and an amazing town to stay in. Will definitely be back

House was clean and good for our dogs but bbq was dirty/no gas and no air conditioning.so very hot

Many good aspects of staying here not far from town beach near was just rocks nearest sand beach was 10 minutes away and dogs cannot go on the beach at all after 9am from 24/12 until Easter the next year and is patrolled heavily by council inspectors we did not expect this and our dogs missed out greatly. Appliances in house are new and work well bedding comfortable great back yard, bbq terrible and dirty and gas bottle empty and no air conditioning lovely breezes off the sea and quiet spot, Checking out by 10 am and not able to check in till 3pm was unfair and cost us one whole days fee but not able to check in till late afternoon.

Ocean Spray - excellent

We were very happy. We stayed for 2 nights, 7th and 8th June, 2019. Four of us and 2 dogs. Lovely big backyard. The property was very clean, the bedding was spotless. The location was excellent, a very short walk to the beach. The only negative was that there was a lack of privacy in the toilet and bathroom as there were no blinds.

Tranquility by the Beach

Family of 4 (2 teenagers) was a charming little house in great location by the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to all. Only downside, there is NO Wifi.
