Neighbourhood
Port Fairy was voted as one of the world's most livable cities with a population under 20,000 after winning the 2012 International LivCom award.
The last destination on Victoria's famed Shipwreck Coast, Port Fairy boasts wide streets lined with 19-century cottages, great Norfolk pines and old stone churches.
Port Fairy has a rich history, and 50 buildings are protected by the National Trust of Australia. There is history in every corner of this charming fishing village at the end of the Great Ocean Road.
The beach is the place to be in the summer months with conditions suitable on its different beaches for diving, surfing, stand up paddleboarding, swimming, fishing and wading.
Port Fairy is a town in love with the arts. Peruse the diverse array of boutiques, antique stores, and art and craft shops scattered throughout the town.
Griffiths Island holds the iconic lighthouse and a breeding colony of the short-tailed shearwater or Australian muttonbird. There's truly something for everyone is this small town which is why we kept returning for holidays then eventually chose it as our home after travelling most of the country.
