About this property

Moyne Mill Townhouse - a riverside escape

Nestled beside the Moyne River in the heart of Port Fairy, our place offers a quiet retreat in which to escape the everyday, where you can leave your worries and car keys behind and take the time to make memories with the ones you love.

When you stay at Moyne Mill Townhouse, you get to choose your own pace - go as fast or as slow as you want. Find one of our cosy spaces to read, snuggle and enjoy the river views, or get out and explore all that Port Fairy has to offer.

With the town centre, river, beaches, national parks, bars and restaurants a hop skip and jump from our front door, you won't find yourself wanting for anything more . . . except for a few extra days to stay.

Your host, Fleur, is a long-time host who knows what guests want from a holiday home.

The Space

This stylish and unique townhouse is located overlooking King George Square on the bustling Moyne River right in the heart of historic Port Fairy. Once the town’s flour mill, the property has cleverly been converted into a complex of four townhouses offering a unique, contemporary and stylish riverside escape.

Our home is one of these townhouses - Moyne Mill Townhouse. This space has been designed and styled for guests to seek refuge, staying cool in Summer and warm and cosy in Winter, and when the quiet descends at Twilight you'll feel as though you are the only one here.

Guests have exclusive use of Moyne Mill Townhouse, it's front courtyard and single-car garage. We recommend guests plan to park their car in the garage, leave their keys and walk, as everything you will need is in walking distance. We have also made sure that if you don't want to leave, you don't have to.

The interior is spacious, but intimate and has been designed with couples or small groups in mind. The lower level features an open plan living/dining area and well appointed kitchen and laundry (with toilet). The living area opens out to the courtyard with views of the river and King George Square.

The King's Suite, is nestled on the middle floor, with views of the square and river and space to relax. It has easy access to the main bathroom. This is where you want to be when you want to snuggle, rest and retreat from the world.

The "Marriner's Loft" is a penthouse-style room taking up the entire top floor, featuring ensuite, living room, and a place to write and work with sweeping views north and south of the river. It is here you will want to sit for a while and take in the view.

The townhouse has five levels and is not suitable for those with mobility issues.

Getting Around

While our townhouse is within walking distance to most of Port Fairy's attractions, there is a bus service around Port and to and from Warrnambool (20 mins away). Information can be obtained from the visitor centre.

What a location!

Moyne Hill Townhouse was a perfect property for six girlfriends to spend a week. The house is furnished as a home away from home. An ideal location close to the River,Restaurants and a short walk to shops. Fleur is dedicated owner offering great service and satisfaction. We cannot thank her enough for our very relaxing holiday.

Perfect stay again.

We’ve stayed at this apartment before and will definitely stay here again. It’s a beautiful space with walls that are 2 1/2 foot thick. It was hot weather while we were there this time but the apartment stayed so cool! Everything we needed was there, shampoos, soap, extra pillows and towels and Fleur answered our messages immediately. We were able to just park our car and walk everywhere. Perfect!

Great Weekend Getaway Accommodation

We really enjoyed our stay in the Moyne Mill Townhouse. The location was fabulous close to everything. It was very clean and comfortable. The 3rd bedroom was a bit tight and didn't really accommodate the children as expected as we had teenagers (would be fine for smaller children).

KRISTY W.

Convenient location. Served the purpose adequately.

We did enjoy our stay together. The company is what makes it successful. No instant heating. We found arriving on a cold night to cold accomodation that took forever to warm up disappointing . Our first night wasn't as enjoyable as it could have been as we were all cold and went to bed. Also we found the fridge was too small. We self catered and food had to be put in an esky with the drinks. We did love Port Fairy and its charm though.

Fabulous location, cozy house!!

we stayed a couple of nights in Mill townhouse in middle of winter and I was surprised how cozy and beautifully kept it was. The heaters warm up the rooms nicely and having 3 toilets is a luxury!! We also loved the location with beautiful view of the river from the master bedroom, short walk to the main shopping area and kids playground!! Highly recommended!!

About the host

Hosted by Anthony Haberfield

Host profile image
My husband and I grew up in Warrnambool, Australia and love returning to our home town and surrounds with our kids. Port Fairy has been a natural holiday destination for us where we can relax and visit family and friends. We are excited to own a piece of history in the former mill and share it with others.

We love to travel both in Australia and abroad and during our time living in Singapore travelled extensively in South East Asia and Europe. We hope to bring our knowledge and experience to make your holiday a great one too.

Why they chose this property

Port Fairy is our happy place. The moment we arrive, we relax. It has a quiet that is even present at it's busiest times and it makes you slow down. The location of the our property makes life here even better. We can walk anywhere, enjoy the river scenery from our windows and watch the world pass by from the bedrooms or living areas.

There is nothing better than taking a morning walk to Griffiths Island then coming home to lay upstairs, with the sunlight coming in, and either reading, napping, or just enjoying the views of the river. Then getting up in the afternoon and walking East Beach and then mosying over to the beer garden (in Summer) or the bar (in Winter) at the Merrijig for thirst quenching drink. Our idea of bliss!

What makes this property unique

The property is walking distance to almost everything in Port Fairy - beaches and playgrounds, shopping, cafes and beer gardens, the river and Griffiths Island. You can park your car in the garage for the weekend and not have to use it.

The old mill has been cleverly converted to make use of the bluestone walls in a way that lends character to the building. It will remind you that you are staying in a piece of Port Fairy history.
