Drift House

At the mouth of the Moyne River where it drains into the great Southern Ocean lies the tranquil waterfront village of Port Fairy, one of Victoria’s oldest settlements that flaunts over 60 National Trust-listed heritage buildings. Of these, one dating to the 19th century has been meticulously transformed into a multi-award-winning boutique hotel named Drift House, whose charming interior spaces and architecture pay homage to the building’s original character. Each stylish suite here has its own unique personality, with high ceilings, natural textures and expansive, light-filled windows remaining consistent throughout each accommodation category.

For gastronomy, you can sit down to gourmet breakfasts that showcase the rich local produce along with sumptuous dinners where Australian classics are inspired by the culinary innovation of Spain. Home to charming historic streets, sweeping beaches and a scenic harbour, the quiet coastal town of Port Fairy offers a serene environ in which you can set your own pace. Further afield, the Twelve Apostles dot the dramatic cliff-edged coast, while some of the Great Ocean Road’s most scenic stretches unfold within easy reach of Drift House.
