A cute town in a nice setting along a harbor. The inn is old and quaint ( all in a good way ). The best part was the rain on a tin roof made for incredible sleeping. We did not eat dinner there, but the menu was quite interesting but the breakfast was a delight. The staff were happy and... More

Recently my wife and I stayed here. It is a beautiful looking 2 century old building. The gardens are lovely and there is a chicken coop with these beautiful fluffy chickens whose eggs are used in some of the restaurants meals. The attic room with ensuite was small (we were told that in the 1870's the whole attic was rented... More

My wife and I were given a two night voucher as a gift; we loved it so much we paid for an extra night! Brilliant location, just across the road from the Moyne River, and the Merrijig Inn istelf is just a beautiful old building in lovely gardens with gregarious chickens! It is well-appointed, well-decorated and well-run. Breakfast was a... More

The suite we had was lovely. We had our own entry a d whilst still being able to use all the public areas of the inn, we... More

My husband and I stayed 3 nights during the Port Fairy Folk Festival weekend. Extremely pleasant and accomading staff. We stayed in an Attic Room ... a gorgeous little room with an ensuite. Small but, that is part of the charm of Merrijig Inn, and more than adequate for our needs. Our window faced the river.... giving us a beautiful... More

We had dinner in the restaurant which was nothing short of sensational. Fresh ingredients put together in a really original way. The prices were special occasion prices but we were happy with what we paid, the attention to every detail, flavour and texture was worth every dollar. Seriously awesome. We booked an attic room with a double bed which was... More

Reception was very homely and we were shown the public lounge area where beverages are help yourself - to be taken to your room or drunk in front of the log fire along with the home made biscuits/cake - before being shown to our room which was adjacent to the entrance. Seperate bedroom and "living room" area. Spray provided in... More

New owners. But the standards remain high. Excellent quality food at this homestead building in the country beach town of Port Fairy. Stands out among its competition and deserves to be taken seriously. They handle large groups with ease and for example, had no problem with our party of 12 which included an 8 week old infant! Food tends to... More

I must say this has got to be one of the quaintest places I have had the pleasure of staying at in Australia. The staff certainly make the place and the food served at the restaurant for dinner is definitely worth coming back for. The breakfast was delicious with the eggs coming straight from the back garden though the orange... More

This is a gorgeous little place to stay while visiting Port Fairy. We were stopping in for the night so decided to stay in one of the quaint little attic rooms. Yes these rooms are small but that didn't bother us as it had everything we needed. A very comfy double bed with crisp clean white bed linen and a... More
