Mr & MRS Smith Drift House

We enjoyed our one night stay here. Port Fairy is a beautiful place & I'm so pleased we decided to stay here. Directions were very clear & we parked up & were met by Marcia on arrival. I was delighted to see that there was a bath in our suite (suite 5) as everywhere else we had stayed had a shower only. We dumped our bags & went for a walk out to the lighthouse. Later we went out for dinner. Town is a short stroll away. Our suite was comfortable but I have knocked off one point as we could hear traffic noise from the road right outside our room which was a bit annoying. Breakfast was simple, healthy & served by pleasant staff. Afterwards we strolled out for a walk along the beach. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Port Fairy is lovely & definitely a good choice for a stop off.

Drift house was an amazing place to stay, in fact the highlight from 10 hotels that we stayed at during our trip to Australia and NZ. We were greeted by super friendly host she showed us around, gave good tips for local things. We stayed at Three suite, its super spacious and comfy and has amazing courtyard with fireplace. Loved every little detail about the hotel, breakfast basked with local goodies was amazing start of the day. Great location by the beach. Amazing selection of books, magazines and dvds in room. Only thing we could have wished for is to stay longer!

We stayed in Suite 3 for 4 nights & loved it. On arrival, Colleen was very welcoming & friendly & then left us in private for our stay. We loved the 'driftwood' décor & hidden cupboards. The bed was super comfy & the little garden was an added bonus. We enjoyed every aspect of our stay & especially enjoyed the little touches in the suite. We found it to be both private & quiet. The breakfast provisions were excellent & pre-arrival we were given the opportunity to state any preferences. The maxi bar was so good - prices so reasonable - that we purchased a few items.... the beer was particularly welcome as the Grand Final was on! Colleen also helped us out in advance with a Saturday night restaurant booking. Being animal lovers we enjoyed meeting the very handsome 'Kitty' who turned up at the garden door one day wondering who had moved into her neighbourhood! Drift House is central, close to both the river & the town. We parked the car & left it there for our entire stay, enjoying walks along East Beach, Pea Soup beach, Griffiths Island, the town & around the cemetery. No need to take the car. Lots of choice of pubs & restaurants. All in all a most enjoyable stay with lovely hosts.

This boutique hotel, located in delightful Port Fairy, deserves all of the accolades that previous guests have given it. Our room (suite1) was located in Riverdale House, built in 1852. The owners have done an amazing job of modernising the accommodation, bringing it right up to date with a delightful eye for detail and design. The accommodation has all that one could wish for in terms of a great bed, stylish en-suite, Island bath, settee, table/chairs, tv/dvd, crockery and cooking facilities. Breakfast is provided in a very stylish annex, with a selection of lovely locally/home produced products. Gusts also have use of s couple of bicycles and a small pool. Drift House is run by a lovely couple and they deserve every success.

The hotel is set in a period building, however the interiors are very modern, stylish and stunningly well designed. The service was excellent, and the breakfast (which was included in the room rate) was first class. We ate in the restaurant in the evening which served an excellent tapas meal which is great for sharing. I would highly recommend this hotel

The old victorian exterior belies the very modern interior; a huge contrast and very comfortable. In the garden a shared lounge area, as well as a pool. The restaurant does not open every evening, which is a pity, as the food was lovely. Also breakfast was a nice experience. The service was great.
