Set in Port Fairy, 600 metres from Port Fairy East Beach, The Wandering Whale Port Fairy offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and barbecue facilities. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

You can play billiards and darts at the hostel, and the area is popular for fishing and snorkelling. I really like it here. Although the room I’m staying in is a 10-person dorm, I don't think it affects my sleep quality. The people here are all very friendly, and that’s the reason I would want to come back.
