Venture to the end of the famed Great Ocean Road to meet with the sleepy beachside town of Port Fairy, where a serene stay at The Oak & Anchor Hotel beckons. This tranquil, heritage-listed property has played a part in the town’s history since the mid-1800s, and its location at the end of this iconic coastal stretch makes it all the more tempting to leave the city behind.
The colourful and vibrant history of the town will not be lost on you. There are up to 50 buildings classified by the National Trust for you to seek out, rich maritime history on the Shipwreck and Maritime Heritage Walk and, in the winter months, southern right whales for you to spot off the coast. While days away perusing endless antique stores, quirky boutiques and an array of exceptional dining options, before retreating to the contemporary elegance of the hotel's six suites, each boasting an open-plan style bathroom, elegant furnishings and high-end fittings throughout.

Reviews
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at The Oak and Anchor Hotel, the accommodation is lovely, and we also enjoyed dinner there. Above all else the staff were super friendly and accommodating. (from Tripadvisor)
This is an absolutely beautiful place to stay and eat. Perfectly located, the building has been stunningly well renovated and it's a pleasure to be here. The restaurant provided the best meal of our trip by far. Service was top notch and the food as good as you will ever find in any fine dining establishment. Our three night stay has been memorable and we look forward to returning. (from Tripadvisor)
We loved our stay. The room was very spacious, clean and had some really nice touches. Location was great, right in the heart of Port Fairy and the staff were really very nice, check-in was super smooth and we would highly recommend a stay here when visiting Port Fairy. (from Tripadvisor)
