The house was fine and acceptable for the purpose of our stay.The kitchen is really well equipped for home cooking (be warned..the supermarket is VERY expensive & the restaurants are over priced).There are a lot of things at the house (cards, games, play station 2) to do if the wester isn't beach appropriate.The house is a pleasent stroll to the shops and pubs.

A perfect place to relax.

We really enjoyed staying in the White House, our dogs were very happy in the courtyard and garage, and we had lots of spaces where we could relax and unwind. The property is a great location to the main street and very comfortable.

Port Fairy Whitehouse

Outside appearance very sad. Front steps in a sad state of disrepair. Plants on the way to the outside clothesline were like a jungle, the whole garden really. Access to shower with glass entry, refused to open. Lack of Smart TV! No WiFi - in 2024. We are in our late 70's and visited The White House 10 yrs.ago. Apart from kitchen update, no change. We left 1 day early. LAST VISIT for us. Not a blade of grass for our 12 yo lab. For the Tarriff charged, a big disappointment.

We were in Port Fairy for the marathon festival. The house was in a perfect position with only 600m to the start line and town centre. Once we got to the property we didnt need the car everything was close. The house was beautiful, stunning kitchen and outdoor courtyard

Port Fairy getaway

The Whitehouse is great for a family stay. We were happy with all aspects and were able to bring our dog. Beds were very comfy and amenities were great. The only disappointment to our granddaughter was the lack of a spa as advertised. It is a short walk to town and a 5 minute car ride to the beach. The outdoor area is very pleasant and very safe for children and pets. Would definitely recommend a stay in this beautiful part of Victoria.
