Lovely place to stay in Port Fairy

My husband and I stayed overnight on our drive across the south coast. The inn is on a beautiful street lined with tall Norfolk pines. It is a stately inn. We had a lovely suite. It’s a short walk to the main street. Wished we could have stayed longer.

We loved the Old Market Inn. The owners have done a superior renovation of the property. Our suite was graciously appointed with a comfortable bed with nice linens, a gorgeous bathroom, and a small kitchen. It is on a quiet street, a 5 minute walk to downtown. A wonderful place to stay in Port Fairy.

There is absolutely nothing to dislike about the Old Market Inn. What a beautiful location and such a well appointed suite. We will most definitely be sharing details of this gem at the end of the Great Ocean Road with our family and friends - and will be sure to return.

Dream stay

The old market inn goes down as one of our favourite stays of all time. The room was immaculate, yet comfortable and welcoming. If you can’t relax and unwind here there is something wrong. It was just so so very good that I cannot recommend enough

First Class

We enjoyed a three night stay in the Osmond Room. The room is beautifully appointed and comfortable. Check in/out is Covid safe. Kym is a very friendly and helpful host. The room is on the first floor so suits active visitors. The Old Market Inn in close to town and amenities.

We loved our three night stay at the Old Market Inn. It was wonderfully quiet and within walking distance to shops and beach. Our suite was immaculate: beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we could have wanted for our stay - a stylish home away from home, with thoughtful touches everywhere. Kym and Steve made us very welcome. We would happily return and highly recommend a visit.
