The Victoria Apartments offers travellers, either corporate or leisure, luxury accommodation in the heart of the quaint township of Port Fairy. Port Fairy is a unique seaside fishing village set on the historic Moyne River Port and surrounded on two sides by water, the calm gentle waters of East beach and the rugged shipwreck coastline to the south.
This picturesque town is located on the Princes Highway between Melbourne and Mount Gambier, at the western end of the Great Ocean Road. The Victoria Apartments stand out amongst competitors as one of the most popular accommodation options in Port Fairy, built with a strong historic architectural influence in mind.

Services
Accommodation includes townhouse style one, two and three bedroom apartments plus a historic cottage. Once you arrive your car can be locked away in your remote roller door garage as you are walking distance to the exquisite restaurants, art galleries, day spa and boutique-style shopping. Take a stroll along the Moyne River to the fishing village, Griffith Island and the lighthouse, or to the East or South beaches.
Get an early start and depart Port Fairy wharf from around 5.30am, cast out a line while you drift along the south West Shores to Warrnambool and catch a schnapper or shark or just laze back in your seat and be part of the grandeur of the coastline. Ensure you take your camera to capture the spectacular performances of the whales during whale season.
Escape into a world of yesteryear as you walk through the streets of Port Fairy and see its wealth of Victorian history unfolding in the simple facades of whalers cottages, imposing churches, inns and Government Houses. See life as a merchant on the wharf, or a volunteer at the historic lifeboat station or as a volunteer for the militia.

Few pros and cons to this place.
Pro:
Nice apartment although slightly outdated and worn.
Really easy to get anywhere in town by walking.
Own garage.
Con:
DANGEROUS INTERIOR CONFIGURATION - the couch is up against the balcony that drops down the stairs. I wish I took a photo. It's so dangerous for families with young kids. They do have a child gate to put so kids can't go down the stairs but honestly the couch was so extremely dangerous where it is.

Good location and very comfortable rooms. The dishwasher and laundry facilities in the house were not working well and the kettle lid would often get stuck, but otherwise the kitchen appliances were fine. Disappointing that the wifi is only in the units and not the house; would have been 4stars with wifi. Otherwise really nice - good location and size for our need.

Stayed here while I was in the area for work. I found quite a few positive comments online about the place so I decided to book.
I was late getting into Port Fairy as it's a three hour drive from Melbourne but reception had called to see what time I would be in. They made alternate arrangements for me to get my key since I was going to arrive after hours.
My room was spacious, clean and having a garage (shared) was great for keeping my car secure. It's also one block from many eateries in town. Would stay here again.
