Lakeside
A very pleasant one weeks stay. Very quiet and tranquil. Watching the varied birdlife on the lake was delightful. all new appliances in the kitchen were appreciated. The only negative was the small size of the shower.

Whalers Cottage is a lovely place to stay.
We had a very nice time at Whalers Cottage. The location is excellent and within walking distance of town, beach and local attractions. It was wonderful to watch grebes and coots feeding in the beautiful pond outside. Frog calls lulled us to sleep each night The cottage was clean and functional. Plenty of crockery and kitchen utensils were provided. The air conditioner was sufficient to keep us warm in the living area, provided the door was kept closed. An enjoyable holiday.

Accomodation Average
Whilst Port Fairy is a lovely place and we enjoyed our time there we thought the accomodation at No 1 Whalers Cottage was very basic, there seems to be very little maintenance, and the contents are all very dated. The shower is tiny. There is no wifi. When contacted staff at Stayz were quick to respond.

Peaceful spot, close to everything
Cute cottage in tranquil setting with everything you need. I enjoyed opening the curtains to the view of the lake and siping my tea watching the ducks and listening to birds chirping. We could walk into town in a few minutes, and East beach, Inlet and Griffiths island all close enough to reach on foot. Drove to Heywood one day for a wonderful Budj Bim tour of old stone huts, 6000 year old eel and fish aquaculture systems and beautiful nature and geology, on traditional lands with Gunditjmara traditional owners, Braydon and Leigh. Fabulous experience. The only downside to the cottage: we needed to keep the heater on the whole time to keep the cold out!
