The cottage is fully fenced and you can wash your dog outside if required. We would really appreciate your assistance with minimising hair build up on the carpet. This is best achieved by giving the cottage a quick vacuum each day. All pet evidence is to be removed from the premises prior to departure.

The house was fine and acceptable for the purpose of our stay.The kitchen is really well equipped for home cooking (be warned..the supermarket is VERY expensive & the restaurants are over priced).There are a lot of things at the house (cards, games, play station 2) to do if the wester isn't beach appropriate.The house is a pleasent stroll to the shops and pubs.

A perfect place to relax.

We really enjoyed staying in the White House, our dogs were very happy in the courtyard and garage, and we had lots of spaces where we could relax and unwind. The property is a great location to the main street and very comfortable.

Nice little cottage close to town

My elderly parents and two scottie dogs spent a comfortable few days at the cottage. It perfectly suited our needs, and was an easy walk to the Main Street, and the water front. Only thing we missed was the ability to make a cup of tea upon arrival, as no tea/coffee or milk was provided.

Lovely stay in Port Fairy

Stayed one night at the White House in Port Fairy as part of our Great Ocean Road tripHouse was in great location We could walk into town for all the shops & cafesIt is full of character If you want really modern bathrooms/showers and luxury accommodation feel don’t stay here But we loved it because it is full of history and takes you back to the time of the early settlers Very clean and the beds were very comfyPort Fairy is a wonderful place to stay with beautiful walks out to the lighthouse We went very early and came across a family group of very tame swamp wallabies - magical!
