Authentic Port Fairy cottage
I love this little cottage. This was our second stay. The first was many years ago as a family with young children. This time just us and our youngest child (now 16). It is a neat little place in a great spot tucked into a quiet street between the church and the Main Street. Comfortable, warm, clean.
