Douglas Riverside

My husband and I stayed at Douglas Riverside for two nights in February 2022. It is ideally located along the river and close to all the shops, cafes and restaurants. We stayed in the garden house and this was absolutely wonderful. The large lounge, living and dining area is bathed in glorious light and has the most spectacular views out over lush gardens and the river. The only problem is: you won’t want to leave the house! Jane was an excellent hostess and left a well-stocked fridge and even a loaf of her delicious home-made bread. The garden house was perfect for us as one couple but, having three ensuite queen size rooms, it would be great for small groups or families as well. The bedroom was a great size and the bed linens and towels were a luxury quality, as were the appointment in the bathroom. I would highly recommend you choose Douglas Riverside as your base if ever visiting Port Fairy.

Excellent service that gave us an upgrade, beautiful location on the river within a 5-10 walking distance of pubs & restaurants

Very welcoming people very comfortable and clean will go back and a touch of history

This was our second visit to Port Fairy and Douglas Riverside as we found both to be an absolute delight. The accommodation is light, spacious, comfortable and well equipped and sits in its own gardens right on the river-bank with beautiful views of the river and wharf. Although it is possible to walk to P Fairy main street with its colourful shops and restaurants within minutes it is in a very quiet location. A short walk in the other direction goes along the pretty wharf and boat moorings to the sea and Mutton Bird Island. Jane is the most welcoming host and has thought of everything required for a peaceful and relaxing holiday.
