We have maintained the original features of the cottage (including the very low doorways in the rear bedrooms, (please remember to 'duck') and brought them to the 21st century with a little eclectic styling and artistic flair.
Pips on Bank boasts 2 Queen Bedrooms and another with 2 single beds, all with new beds, furnishings and luxurious linens. Our cosy lounge offers an open fireplace to relax by on a winter weekend with a wine and a good book from our small but growing library. Games, DVDs, activities are also available for your entertainment. A HD TV and a fabulous Bluetooth sound system along with free WiFi, quietly blend into the ambiance and only add to your holiday comfort.
We offer a light filled kitchen with all of the conveniences required for preparing wonderful meals or simply a fabulous morning coffee. Please feel free to use the herbs that are in season in our kitchen garden. The dining room features the stone wall and fireplace from the original cottage kitchen and through the french doors will open your dining experience out to the alfresco. Outdoor furniture and BBQ are available for sunny breakfasts or balmy evening get togethers. The backyard provides an abundance of lounging on the lawn space, or the perfect area for a family cricket match!

Our bathroom offers both a spacious shower and freestanding bath for your convenience and enjoyment.

LOCATION

Port Fairy would have to be considered the jewel of the South West Coast, only 250km from Melbourne CBD and easily accessible by rail and bus. There is no excuse not to visit for a short break or a longer week of summer fun.

Pips on Bank is located 500m from the first of many hotels and restaurants. Continue a little further and you will find cafes, bakeries and a lovely little shopping village. It is the perfect stroll to a deliberately slow and luxurious brunch on a weekend, or an easy distance to walk to dinner and enjoy a drink!

We are located between the two popular beaches and wharf precinct where a popular local market is held and close to the public transport routes.
Everything is accessible by foot when staying at Pips on Bank. A great excuse to park the car in the drive and walk or, alternatively bring along your bikes for easy riding and exploring.

THINGS TO DO

Port Fairy is part of the Shipwreck coast and offers an abundance of exciting history, wonderful landscapes and beautiful architecture. From the charming Bluestone cottages like ours to the rugged and treacherous coastline of 'The Crags' there is never a shortage of attractions.

Summer fun at the two pristine and patrolled beaches, cycling along the bike trail to Koroit, discovering the lighthouse and Shearwater Colony, fishing, surfing or wandering through the village and pausing at an award winning cafe or restaurant on your stroll home....... a stay at Pips on Bank will offer a relaxing and comfortable base for all of your activities.

Come and enjoy the galleries, the markets, the Port Fairy Folk Festival or 'Winter Weekends' all of which contribute to the inspiring and creative nature of the town and its people ......we can't wait to meet you!

    We had the most fabulous family holiday in Port Fairy at Pips. Our children, aged one and four, loved the beautiful spacious garden. The house was very comfortable and contained all the amenities that we needed for our week long stay. Leanne, the host, was very accommodating and great to communicate with. We'll definitely be back!

    A great spot to stay, both the town and the property, made all the more enjoyable by the helpful advice from Leanne about local businesses to frequent (loved the bookshop!) and the ease of access. A fully equipped kitchen made meal time a breeze and very impressed with the cleanliness both inside and out.

    A lovely old cottage but with modern amenities added on. Looked very historic and a close walk to the main shopping centre and wharf. Lovely

    Lovely heritage style cottage with unique touches to make the stay feel special. The open backyard was excellent relaxing in and the kitchen was well stocked. The house does heat up on hot days but that is to be expected with an older heritage style property. We would recommend this house to stay in while in Port Fairy.

    Modern, well equipped kitchen and bathroom, vintage styling to match home. Great outdoor space. Whole interior needs a thorough clean, floor didn’t look like it had been mopped, door mat still dirty, underneath beds dirty with dust and grime. Couch and cushions had food stains.

    Loved the cottage, it was cosy and suited us perfectly. Very close to the shopping precinct, eateries and heritage places. All details taking care of, by our host. We hope to stay again in the future.

    Very clean and spacious cottage, wonderful shower! No air con but there were fans. Had to be careful with some low doorways but not a major issue. Lovely big back garden. A bit far from the main street for us to walk but others may disagree.

    We enjoyed the cosy cottage, walking distance to shops, close to surf beaches and walks. Great time with family. Bath was great. Need to buy or bring own wood for fire. Excellent tour of eel traps at budj bim national park, recommend the 2 hour tour.
