Was a quaint Inn. 1844. Everything you need and plenty of sites within walking distance. Fabulous oysters to be bought at The Wharf. Also prawns. Would have been great to have a microwave but really there wasn’t room for one. Nice staff.

This place was a very nice surprise and much better than my expectations. Importantly, the bed was very comfortable with good pillow selection and the food at the pub attached was also excellent. The room was simple but had been refurbised so it was very well set up and included everything I needed for my stay. I've tagged this place as my preferred accom next time I'm in Port Fairy.

The Caledonian Inn has done a great renovation. We loved the furniture. Our room was tiny, but had everything we needed. We loved eating at the Stump.

Check-in via the pub is odd especially when it's busy. Fortunately we were there on a Sunday so closing time was 10pm. Had it been a saturday I can imagine the area would be noisy. Being in the room right next to the garden was fine for us. Room was good for one night.

The Caledonian is an interesting old pub, but the rooms are near the outside beer garden so the music was able to be heard until late on Friday and Saturday nights. The staff were excellent.
