Loved Port Fairy & the history of this town. Oak & Anchor is a must stay!
Pros:

Warm & cozy feels, the room aesthetic was gorgeous. The quality of bathroom accessories were amazing. The bed was super comfy & bed linen superior. Can’t say enough about this place… we were upgraded to the bridal suite which was a pleasant surprise!

Cons:

Nothing really, the only comment I would say about the Brekky voucher @ Sidro would be to a few more options eg; eggs, bacon? Otherwise, the food at sidro was delicious! Staff friendly & welcoming

Book this place IMMEDIATELY!!
Pros:

This was one of the most beautiful places that I have ever stayed, and I couldn't recommend it enough. Everything was just perfect - the showers, the bed sheets, the pillows - utter class & comfort. Monique was the most welcoming host and we can't wait to come back!

Pros:

It was nice and central and close to everything.

Cons:

The toilet was open to the room, which meant there was no privacy when doing poos. This killed the romance somewhat and my wife commented that I need to see a Dr having stunk out the room. My response was her shit doesn't smell like roses either. Nevertheless, a wall or door to separate the bedroom and bathroom is recommended.

Cozy but disappointing
Pros:

The room was spacious and clean, All facilities were lovely.

Cons:

We are on the ground floor next to a party in the function room that was making noise till 1am - no notification was given prior to arrival. When I emailed the host direct, I was advised of the discount rate. I'm sorry however $350 for the one night was not discounted for what was provided. The breakfast was at a location that only had very limited breakfast. We ended up elsewhere to get a proper hot breakfast.

Pros:

Beautiful building, well appointed room and comfortable bed.

Cons:

The open ensuite in the room included the toilet, which only had a cane screen you could see through and wasn't enclosed for privacy.
The accommodation overall was good, but it would have been helpful to know when booking that it is changing hands in a few days. Transparency to customers would be optimal so they can make an informed choice as to whether to stay there or not.
It also made paying for the room awkward as there was no reception and the restaurant/bar had been closed since May...so no staff around. Phone contacts, but no indication on how to pay until I saw an email the following day giving instructions, which was too late as I received a second email stating I had an 'unpaid stay' from booking.com and when/how they would deduct it from my bank account. It was always my intention to pay, but achieving that was made very messy.

An exquisite boutique hotel in a quaint seaside town near the beginning of the Great Ocean Road.
Pros:

We received vouchers for breakfast at a lovely little cafe down the street. The food and coffee were excellent.

Cons:

Nothing. Every detail was exceptional. The rooms were spacious. The beds were comfortable. And the bathrooms were incredible. We were sorry we had to leave.
