Authentic Port Fairy cottage

I love this little cottage. This was our second stay. The first was many years ago as a family with young children. This time just us and our youngest child (now 16). It is a neat little place in a great spot tucked into a quiet street between the church and the Main Street. Comfortable, warm, clean.

Cute and cosy!

A great place to relax, with lovely walks and excellent bakeries! A comfortable house with well equipped kitchen, and a pumping gas heater in the lounge!

Wonderful Location

Dingle is a very tastefully furnished and comfortable cottage, very close to the centre of town. It suited all our requirements, including our ten year old Labrador's, and I would like to stay at Dingle again next time we visit Port Fairy.

Perfect location for PFSMF

This is the kind of house you could stay in easily for a week or more to take advantage of its peacefulness and comfort. I shared Dingle with three others for the PFSMF. Kitchen amenities excellent, though a dishwasher would be a welcome addition especially if staying for a longer time. Beds including the bunks are all very comfortable.
