Sheoaks - Port Fairy

Very clean and a good location. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side during the weekend we were there and as a result could not enjoy the beach.

Clean house with everything we needed. Easy drive to town.

On arrival we found the house very grubby. The screen wire door fell off the track as we opened it. We had to fix it back on with a knife, when I told the manager/owner he laughed and said “we have lost about 20 runners from the door as it keeps falling off”. The whole house needs a good clean. BBQ was filthy with dangerous knobs on gas bottle. We found silverfish crawling in the bed, in the kitchen cupboards and also in the fridge!! Power switch to turn hot plate stove on is squashed in and dangerous. Towels rails & shower caddy very rusty. Bed linen and towels were fresh & clean. Kitchen is very old and grotty. As this is a “holiday house” we expected a washing machine. When I enquired to the owner about one I was told…. There’s no machine we suggest you hand wash in the “wash tub” and hang on the clothes airer or go to the BP service station and use their washing machines! Really!!! What century are we in that people hand wash, hand wring clothes. This is a $300+ AUD per night house!!! I would never recommend this house to anyone. We also were asked for our full names and what our personal address was.

A comfortable cottage in a lovely spot. Owner was very helpful when we struck a problem.

Nicely positioned beach shack on the edge of a farm , steps away from the water. You can hear the surf from the home!. Good for two couples - equal beds/ bath. Linens and paper products ( soap/ shampoo) provided. Do be prepared to byo all condiments etc. Owner was very generous with our requests. We were grateful that the price wasn’t inflated over the Easter holidays. Good value!

Loved the stay at Port Fairy, lovely private location only a short walk to the beach!

A well-presented, comfortable holiday house in a relaxing rural location, only a few minutes walk to the sandy beach featuring striking black rocks and shells. We enjoyed the many birds we saw from the verandah. Our host Graham was very helpful in returning my prescription glasses which were lost on the beach and found by the next guests!

Owner was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed our stay but for price and value the little things matter such as needing descaled kettle and clean coffee plunger and plenty of towells/washing machine. The bird life and access to beach were wonderful though and beds were very comfy.

a lovely location and the right amount of comfort for a relaxed beach stay in this lovely town

We stayed at Sheoaks with 2 small children, and it was a magical setting. Easy access to the beach, beautiful garden and access to open spaces. Inside the house was beautifully decorated and equipped with all essentials. We had an amazing 2 days, and as a photographer I captured some of my best work in this wonderful place. We are looking forward to re-visiting Sheoaks and Port Fairy in the future.
