COVID UPDATE - FULL100% REFUND WILL BE GIVEN IF YOUR BOOKING IS CANCELLED BECAUSE OF A COVID LOCKDOWN. THIS OVERRIDES MY NORMAL CANCELLATION POLICY.

Just minutes from both Port Fairy and Warrnambool, Tower Hill House offers you the best short break or longer stay holiday you could ever want.

Tower Hill House is spacious, extremely comfortable and very well equipped. There are spectacular panoramic ocean views - and 6 acres of native gardens.

In winter you'll be wonderfully warm with the red gum burning wood heater - and there is reverse cycle air conditioning if necessary for those hot summer days.

Relax and look out across 15 kms of ocean from the comfortable sofa in the lounge - and you get the same fantastic panoramic views in the dining area.

There is a fully equipped kitchen complete with Italian Ilve professional chefs stove, new Bosch dishwasher and all mod cons. We supply freshly ground coffee for the espresso machine, as well as useful items such as olive oil, spices, tea, sugar, salt etc.
So you can sit back and read a book from the library, perhaps watch a DVD, listen to music… Or just relax on the north facing sunny verandah, complete with Webber BBQ - or in the garden - Its your choice.
We promise your stay will be as memorable as it is enjoyable!

Like the roos you can hop over the garden fence directly into the nature reserve where there are kilometres of wonderful walks, up and down hills, board walk over water, have a picnic, etc.

Tower Hill House is within an easy distance to so many attractions - The Great Ocean Road and The 12 Apostles, The Grampians, the seal colony at Bridgewater Bay near Portland, are all a leisurely day trip. And over winter the southern right whales arrive at Logan's Beach in Warrnambool.

A few minutes drive away are award winning restaurants, shops and the heritage of Port Fairy and Warrnambool - and right on your doorstep the extraordinary Tower Hill State Game Reserve.

Perfect for a short break or longer stay holiday!

Things to do

Tower Hill Nature Reserve

To see an arial drone video of Tower Hill House and the surrounding nature reserve, please click on the link on the homepage.

Though you can drive through, there is direct access to the reserve from our garden. The Tower Hill Nature Reserve is nestled inside an extinct volcano and is a beautiful haven for all sorts of wildlife.

Tower Hill is also great for bushwalking and picnics (BBQs and facilities provided). Guided day or night tours can be booked at the Tower Hill Natural History Centre (T ), which is open daily.

Tower Hill was created some 25,000 years ago in a violent volcanic eruption. The force of the blast created a funnel shaped crater, which was later filled by a lake and island.

On a walk you could well see possums, echidnas, cape barren geese and wedge-tailed eagles (Australia's largest bird of prey). Keen twitchers might also spot chestnut teal, musk duck and spoonbills from the boardwalks and bird hide. Eagles often soar at dusk.

There are numerous activities and events throughout the year in both Port Fairy and nearby Warrnambool - Including the well known Port Fairy Folk Festival... boat trips, beach walks, golf, shopping, restaurants and great food!

The house was spacious, comfortable and clean with everything we needed. Located in a convenient position about halfway between Warrnambool and Port Fairy. Also very good for our pooch as the back deck can be closed off with a gate to prevent your pet running off. We were made very welcome by Richard on arrival who gave us lots of good local info re things to see, places to eat and walks to do. A great base for an enjoyable and relaxing holiday!

Gorgeous relaxing house in a truly gorgeous place.
The house is lovely and comfortable and the slow combustion heater really kept us warm and relaxed. The kitchen is fabulous with everything we needed. We did a lot of cooking, eating and drinking wine. The views are absolutely gorgeous and walking over the back fence to the crater is breathtaking. So close to Warrnambool, Port Fairy and Koroit so easy to get anything you need. Also very close to a beautiful beach which, as Richard the host says, if you see one person, it’s a busy day. We went on a Worn Gundidj tour of Tower Hill which I highly recommend. Our guide Brett was warm, friendly and knowledgeable about the volcano and the surrounds and it was a privilege to get a First Nations perspective on the history. We didn’t see or hear much of Richard while we were there, but had some great chats with him on the phone. Knows the area like the back of his hand and is very happy to share tips, particularly good eateries, beach directions, shops etc etc. Loved our time here. Thanks Richard!

Fantastic!
We loved staying here. Richard was very welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed (firewood, coffee, oil, etc). I especially loved the secure sheltered lock-up area for the dogs. The location is brilliant - so close to the beach, Port Fairy and Warrnambool.

A view to die for!
What a beautiful and cozy place! We had an absolutely lovely time staying here! Everything was perfect! The fireplace was wonderful and the home was well equipped with everything we could possibly need. The coffee machine was an added bonus. Wonderful bed, pillows and towels and the hairdryer was a bonus as I accidentally left mine at our last stop in Broken Hill! Thanks for a great stay in a beautiful part of the world.
