Beds are absolutely wonderful - it was sleeping on a cloud! The room is spacious, the bathroom is really modern and highly functional, with an interesting garden (smell the Children's Rose, and check out the rooftop terrace). Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our night at Seacombe House in Port Fairy. We chose to stay in Gun Alley, which is one of the original rooms dating from when the building was a pub. The room is very spacious and features the original ceiling of hand cut boards. The bathroom is excellent, very modern and well designed. The building is old and therefore a bit noisy but we enjoyed it for what it is.

An old property with a newer motel style wing. We stayed in this wing. The room was well appointed and quite large. The staff were very friendly and quite helpful. The location is excellent as it is walking distance to the shops, cafes and restaurants. There is onsite parking but under trees which dropped sticky ‘stuff’ onto the car. After that we parked on the street. There is free washing / drying facilities and that was very helpful midway through our holiday.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review for us. I am so pleased that you enjoyed Seacombe House. We are in a fabulous location as you say so close to everything. Seacombe House has accommodation to suite everyone's style from Old to New but with all of the modern facilities. Sorry about the neighbour's tree which does drop fruit only at this time of year over onto our car park. Sadly, this is out of my control. As you say we have plenty of free street parking. Take care and I hope that we see you again in the near future from Christine & The team at Seacombe House.

Charming quaint historical motel in an equally charming quaint seaside village. Excellent location, staff very friendly. Rooms a tad small but that is in keeping with an old building. Great rates, definitely recommend.

This hotel/motel is definitely worth a look. I originally booked to stay in a room in the older part of the hotel but was offered an upgrade to the newer motel room. It was fabulous! Giant comfy bed, new bathroom with sensor lighting and double showers. Lovely charming gardens and lovely welcoming owner.

We were going to arrive by car after the front desk was closed, but they worked out a way for us to check in after hours. This was so helpful to our family after a weary drive. They couldn’t have been any nicer, helped us find good places to eat and explore the next morning, and we’re very interested to have engaging conversations with curious Americans

This was our third stay and was as great as on previous occasions. Stayed for 2 nights but could have stayed for a week. Love the location and prefer to stay in the old part of the building. Has so much history and a great feel to it. It was a quiet time to stay - midweek and winter! Room was clean, comfy, warm and peaceful. The shared room upstairs had all the provisions you could need too. Will certainly be back and highly recommend!

We stayed in the Gunalley suite the room was nicely appointed , spotlessly clean and was very well insulated with double blinds. The dual control electric blanket was a bonus ! It is well located within walking distance of all the town amenities.

We recently enjoyed our stay in the charming Riverhaven cottage. Wine and cheese on the cottage jetty, what away to enjoy an afternoon after a long days drive on the great ocean road. Highly recommend. CC&L
