Port Fairy
Take the long way around.
Port Fairy unfolds slowly — heritage streets, coastal walks, good food and the rhythm of the sea, all just beyond the front door.
Your Stay
Go slowly.
See more.
Port Fairy is the kind of place that rewards wandering. Heritage streets, bluestone cottages, the Moyne River, coastal walks and long stretches of beach are all within easy reach of Oak & Anchor.
Spend the morning exploring Griffiths Island, linger over lunch, browse the local shops and galleries, then make your way back through town at your own pace.
There is no need to rush here. Port Fairy is at its best when you leave a little room in the day for whatever you happen to discover along the way.
By the Water
Coast, river and island.
Follow the Moyne River toward the harbour, walk out to Griffiths Island and its lighthouse, or simply find a quiet stretch of beach and let the afternoon unfold.
The coastline is part of everyday life in Port Fairy, and one of the great pleasures of staying here is how naturally the town and the water sit alongside one another.
A Round by the Sea
Links golf,
Port Fairy style.
Port Fairy Golf Links winds through the coastal dunes with sweeping views towards the Southern Ocean. A spectacular setting for a morning round — and another reason to stay a little longer.

An ancient landscape.
A living culture.
Just beyond Port Fairy lies the remarkable Budj Bim Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed place of extraordinary cultural significance.
Older than the Egyptian pyramids, its ancient aquaculture systems reveal the ingenuity, knowledge and enduring connection to Country of the Gunditjmara people.
A visit offers an opportunity to discover one of the world's oldest aquaculture systems and experience a landscape where thousands of years of culture and history remain very much alive.
