Mr & MRS Smith Drift House

Waw, great B&B! Lovely rooms, lots of space, bathroom is absolutely luxurious. Great location, walking distance to Port Fairy, Griffith Island, the beach. I had diner in Drift House and it was the best quality! Great experience all together.

Perfect place to stay in Port Fairy, very unique and comfortable huge room, welcoming staff. Wonderful breakfasts with local produce and we were fortunate to eat dinner here one night which was really amazing, again local produce cooked in very imaginative ways, everything was delicious. A very short walk to the centre of town.

Normally you worry if the hype lives up to the reality... Am very happy with the host as well as the accommodation. Clean and stylish... A suite you want to stay because it is different and also great being able to do some light cooking with the breakfast basket and the maxiBar ! Port Fairy is absolutely charming place to be based. Act and don't think anymore...

This boutique hotel, located in delightful Port Fairy, deserves all of the accolades that previous guests have given it. Our room (suite1) was located in Riverdale House, built in 1852. The owners have done an amazing job of modernising the accommodation, bringing it right up to date with a delightful eye for detail and design. The accommodation has all that one could wish for in terms of a great bed, stylish en-suite, Island bath, settee, table/chairs, tv/dvd, crockery and cooking facilities. Breakfast is provided in a very stylish annex, with a selection of lovely locally/home produced products. Gusts also have use of s couple of bicycles and a small pool. Drift House is run by a lovely couple and they deserve every success.

We stayed in Suite 3 for 4 nights & loved it. On arrival, Colleen was very welcoming & friendly & then left us in private for our stay. We loved the 'driftwood' décor & hidden cupboards. The bed was super comfy & the little garden was an added bonus. We enjoyed every aspect of our stay & especially enjoyed the little touches in the suite. We found it to be both private & quiet. The breakfast provisions were excellent & pre-arrival we were given the opportunity to state any preferences. The maxi bar was so good - prices so reasonable - that we purchased a few items.... the beer was particularly welcome as the Grand Final was on! Colleen also helped us out in advance with a Saturday night restaurant booking. Being animal lovers we enjoyed meeting the very handsome 'Kitty' who turned up at the garden door one day wondering who had moved into her neighbourhood! Drift House is central, close to both the river & the town. We parked the car & left it there for our entire stay, enjoying walks along East Beach, Pea Soup beach, Griffiths Island, the town & around the cemetery. No need to take the car. Lots of choice of pubs & restaurants. All in all a most enjoyable stay with lovely hosts.

The old victorian exterior belies the very modern interior; a huge contrast and very comfortable. In the garden a shared lounge area, as well as a pool. The restaurant does not open every evening, which is a pity, as the food was lovely. Also breakfast was a nice experience. The service was great.
