    I know you can pay two or three times as much and have a new or totally renovated house, but this place worked for us.

    We have often thought it would great to stay in one of these iconic absolute river frontage houses on Gippsland Street. The ambience is lovely with the boats and river. It is also minutes away from all the central town action, yet very quiet. The renovated bathroom is excellent. There is a rainwater tank, essential in Port Fairy.

    We didn't use the upstairs bedrooms -- luckily just 2 of us and everything downstairs was comfortable. Steep and tricky stairs up to the 2 bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. Outside furniture needs replacement and the listed BBQ was not there.

    Fabulous location on the Moyne River and easy to walk out to town, cafes, etc. Comfy bed in main bedroom downstairs.

    Overall, great place to stay - right in town, very handy to pubs/cafes and East Beach.

    The staircase to the upper bedrooms was a bit steep, so was a little worry with a two-and-a-half and a four-and-a-half year old, but having said that, they did scuttle up and down without problems.

    Location right in town and proximity to beach was excellent. We could walk almost everywhere, even with two small children. The back deck on to the river was lovely for sitting out (we made good use of that) and the child-proof fence/gate (in excellent condition) took away any stress.

    The stairs to the first floor are narrow. The water pressure was slow. Would have been handy if the garage was accessible.

    The location of the Moorings could not be better, one block from the main street, not far to the lighthouse, beach etc - everything is in close proximity. Kitchen was well set up. Great view over the river - very calming.

    Hard to fault apart from the beds on the upper level being very uncomfortable. Particularly the single beds but all had very bad reviews from our family guests

    We love the location on the river and proximity to Banks St

    There was no tea-towel so we couldn't dry dishes upon departure. There were also used towels rolled up in the bathroom shelf when we arrived.

    View was amazing. Great spot!

    Was not aware from description of the property that two bedrooms were upstairs, which were not the easiest for carrying up suitcases.

    Nice location on the river with nice view and within walking distance of town centre.

    The beds upstairs were hard and small. The two singles were on wheels and just slid every time you moved. The main queen downstairs was very lush and comfortable . The bathroom upstairs needs an update, skirting board rotten on both sides of shower . Outside furniture needs to be updated.

    The view was anazing and location on the river and proximity to street was perfect . Close to town etc. main bedroom downstairs was great but upstairs needs a refurnish.

    it was a little untidy at the front and there were maggots in the rubbish bin as food had been disposed of and bin not put out for collection. i would have personally appreciated a full length mirror in the master bedroom but otherwise we all thought it was a great place to stay.

    location was excellent. we have booked to stay again in December, to hopefully make use of the outdoor area in warmer weather

    The dining chairs are a little tired, and upstairs bathroom needs some remedial work where the shower seal has water damage to the skirting board.

    The proximity to the shops and restaurants, also on the river. The property was well stocked in the kitchen, access to tv channels a bonus. all in all a very comfortable stay. would definitely stay there again.

    The remote for the garage roller door didn't work, there was a broken cupboard door in the kitchen that nearly knocked me out when I went to open it & the down stairs shower was a bit grubby around the grout at the base.

    The house is very spacious & well laid out & the kitchen is well equipped.The location is stunning, right on the river. Couldn't be better, close to shops & restaurants.
