Absolutely wonderful.
Pros:

Cannot fault our stay at Oak and Anchor, we were made so welcome from beginning to end of our stay. Breakfast was amazing. We were given a cuppa and homemade yo-yo biscuits on arrival. Monique went above and beyond for us, even packed homemade muffins for us to take on our road trip back home. We would highly recommend a stay here without hesitation. Thank you so very much Monique.

Cons:

Cannot fault. Wish they did dinner.

It is the second time we've stayed at the Oak & Anchor and we will stay there again when we are back in Port Fai
Pros:

Staff were exceptional. Great location within walking distance of all Port Fairy's many attractions and restaurants. Comfortable bed, well-equipped room. Lovely breakfast included in price.

Cons:

There are 20 stairs to the upstairs rooms and some might find that an issue. There is one downstairs room. The bar/restaurant that was there previously is in the process of changing owners so it was not available but the staff were very helpful at supplying excellent options in town.

Nothing to do with the property, however Booking.com charged us twice and I haven’t been able to recoup the cost as I continually get an AI message which is very frustrating.

Pros:

What an awesome place to stay in Port Fairy

Our stay at the Oak and Anchor in Port Fairy was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we naturally felt incredibly welcome.

The rooms are absolutely beautiful, designed with an incredible extra attention to detail that makes the space feel both luxurious and comfortable.

What truly sets this place apart, however, is the hospitality. The owner, Sally, is amazing. She genuinely went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for us during our stay. Her warmth and dedication to us made our stay unforgettable.
Breakfast was also spectacular with Monique taking all requests in her stride and with a smile.
We cannot recommend the Oak and Anchor highly enough and will recommend it to anyone visiting this charming town.

Cons:

That we couldn't stay longer!

Pros:

This place is awesome! From the location to the room to the wonderful staff, everything was amazing. Our room (Beau) was simply stunning. The bed - so comfortable. The room amenities including bath were beautifully appointed.
I'm so sorry to have forgotten name of our gorgeous hostess (owners sister) but she went above and beyond to ensure our stay was the best it could be.
Tips for local places, breakfast including fresh baked goodies just made our trip. Such a gorgeous building and owners added that special touch!

Cons:

The AC going in and out did give us a night of kicking bedding on and off, also noise as kicking in stirred you awake.
