Port Retreat - Central, Pet Friendly Home

Centrally located, this charming pet friendly holiday home is just a five-minute walk from the centre of Port Fairy. Park in the spacious garage or on the driveway and step into your home-away-from-home. The master bedroom is a haven of comfort, boasting built-in robes, an overhead fan and luxurious ensuite with large walk-in shower and toilet.

Wander down the hallway to the inviting main living space where a cosy central fireplace, large smart TV and plush L-shaped sofa with chaise awaits. This room is perfect for family movie nights or those long, overdue evenings with friends.

The second bedroom has a Queen bed, built-in robe and overhead fan. Next door the main bathroom features a walk-in shower, separate bath with a separate toilet just beside it. The third bedroom is made for kids with three singles and trundle in a fun Criss-Cross Bunk format, ceiling fan and built-in robes.

Port Retreat is ideal no matter who you travel with, offering ample space and privacy for everyone. The heart of the house is its open-plan living, kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern conveniences, plus a butler's pantry for ample storage. The dining room, seating eight, is perfect for family feasts with a split system for heating and cooling and a gas fireplace that also warms the bedrooms via a heat transfer system and overhead vents. The second living space is a sunny sanctuary with a large smart TV and windows that let in the afternoon sun.

Step outside to the deck from the second living room and find an additional outdoor dining area with a ceiling fan. Perfect for summer BBQs after a day at the beach. This fully enclosed backyard also features extra seating, an outdoor shower and a basketball net to keep the kids entertained!

Port Fairy has something for everyone, with a wide selection of shops, cafes and restaurants as well as the rail trail to Warrnambool and further afield, Griffiths Islands and the beautiful Port Fairy beaches. Enjoy weekend Farmer and Community markets or head further afield to the nature Reserve of Tower Hill and the Whale Watching Platform in Warrnambool. All of this making Port Retreat an ideal place for exploring and enjoying everything the area has to offer.

Port Retreat is comfortable, inviting and ready to become your family’s favourite holiday spot for years to come!
