Guests love No.1 William St for its beautifully restored, historic character with period features and tasteful modern touches. Reviews highlight the cosy open fireplaces, comfortable beds and immaculate interior decoration, making it perfect for a relaxing or romantic weekend, especially in winter. The cottage offers three bedrooms, a fully equipped spacious kitchen and a large fridge, plus a small, peaceful garden out the back.
Little extras get a special mention too, like the fridge stocked for breakfast and the Port Fairy Yo Yos left by the kettle. The location is a winner, with easy walking distance to town, the sea and shops, so you can park the car and forget about it. Warm, welcoming and well set up, its a place many guests say they were tempted to never leave.
