What can I say apart from magic! Simon's cottage was everything Michael and I could have hoped for during our week's stay - it was full of old world charm, with lots of space inside (even enough for me to do my pilates and strength sessions!), two renovated bathrooms (one in a detached building) and the most comfortable bed ever that I struggled to get out of every morning lol! The cottage is located on the outskirts of Port Fairy, but very close to the Warrnambool-Port Fairy rail trail which gets you into town in 15-20 minutes, or it's a quick 4 min car trip if you can't be bothered walking. The area was very quiet but you will hear the occasional truck go by on the highway. There is so much to see and do in this part of the world, and Port Fairy was a wonderful base for Michael and I to explore the area. We will certainly be back, and I will book Goldies Cottage without any hesitation. Simon was also a wonderful host, and we got to meet him during our stay too - a lovely man who was very attentive to our needs and provided us with many recommendations for things to see, do and eat. A great communicator who really made us feel welcome. I highly recommend Goldies Cottage to everyone, including those who have doggies - the cottage is perfectly set up for them! And thank you Simon for a wonderful stay. Jo and Michael, Melbourne, Australia (29 Nov - 5 Dec 2021)
