This historic building was once ‘G. W. Ratten’s Port Fairy College for Boys and Girls’. Heritage listed, it is one of the oldest buildings in Victoria’s founding region.
I grew up with Port Fairy defining my summers. Our caravan saw 35 of them at this wonderful place until a storm destroyed it last year.
Enter Christine and Seacombe House...
As I am one legged and was travelling with my 85yo parents we rang in advance to find out if it would work. It sure did! We were given accurate descriptions of the amenities and were fine.
It’s spotless. It’s 100m from the town’s best attractions - perhaps the best located accommodation in Port Fairy.
Christine and her staff are just AWESOME. We were introduced as ‘family’ to each new arrival and it was meant!
Where else would the live in manager watch from her kitchen window after dark so that she was ready to unlock the bike area when a long bike ride saw us arriving after lockup?
Where else would you get a phone call to make sure you were safe because you had not returned when the manager heard a news report of an accident at Tower Hill (we were not there and were fine) but that’s what one does with family right?
I don’t know how the team keep it up but they do and it shows. Trust me - you will love Seacombe House.
Thanks to Christine and her wonderful team. Apologies for the five stars- it won’t let me give you six.
