Beautiful walk around the island, it takes about 1hr 45 min., very easy to do. You will admire volcanic rocks, white sand that blends with the yellow sand, crystal clear shallow water and powerful ocean waves.

A beautiful walking loop takes you along the beach and leads to the lighthouse. It’s a great spot to take a break. Like all lighthouses, this one is also stunning.

A beautiful flat walk on a wide path will lead you to the lighthouse on Griffiths Island. Absolutely beautiful. I am so pleased we went in this walk. I was surprised by the beautiful scenery and waterholes that we came across. The lighthouse is very photogenic and the area has so much history. Absolutely stunning and well worth a visit! If you are going to continue your way around the island it is important to note that this is not flat. It requires scrambling over rocks and sand dunes while praying you don’t slip! Lots of fun but certainly not for those with mobility issues.

There are two main paths to the Griffith Island Lighthouse: ​The left path is the shorter and flatter route. ​The right path is the scenic route that takes you along the beach. This path requires navigating some boulders, but is otherwise a straightforward and easy walk.

One of the best places to visit around here, peaceful and beautiful. Highly recommend.

Was great but I wish they let you know that you can’t get to it when tide is in unless you take the shorter walkway.

Port Fairy Lighthouse is a lovely spot to visit. The walk out to the lighthouse is peaceful with beautiful ocean views all around. It’s a great place to take photos, enjoy the sea breeze, and soak up the history. Well worth the stop if you’re in Port Fairy.

Nice view over the river, friendly staff, comfortable setting. Food was presented well, the steak was great, my squid was over cooked, a crisp Chardonnay worked well with the other fish dishes ordered. Lots of seafood options on menu. Bookings essential but they managed to squeeze us in.

We were here this afternoon and the experience was very positive. We ordered food for 8 adults and 7 kids. The meals were very yummy, staff fast, professional and very kindy despite our kids were a bit notty. Catch of the day (salmon) with smash potato and fresh greek salad. Beverages were tasty as well. Price a bit expensive (usually the price for 2 kids and 2 adults is around 70-80$ and today we paid 100$. I recommend this place

We came here few time and always ordered the same thing. Seafood platter for 2. For $154 the platter is generously sized with their big prawns, mussels, calamari, scallops, salmon. The best part were the prawns and mussels. Tasty and juicy for the prawns and delicious slightly spicy tomato sauce for the mussels. The calamari and salmon were perfectly cooked. We had the sticky date pudding for dessert and it was delicious. Staff are friendly and professional as always. Well done guys for surviving Covid ( we came just after Covid but with staff issues only your fish and chips corner was open). You are doing so well. Keep the smile !

Great food, great service, friendly staff, great atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed this place. But I do have a question, why do you have Bamboo knives and forks? My husband was having a bit of trouble trying to cut through his steak roll with a Bamboo Knife. And I don't know how many forks he broke. So maybe you need to put a Steak Knife and Fork for those who have the Steak Roll. But we did enjoy our night over there in that beautiful town of Port Fairy. We will be back, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Price are on the high side and the food is a little disappointed as the pasta is over cooked as it's too soggy. The relaxed ambience of the restaurant is popular and you're able to view the boat docked alongside.

We went there for dinner and they said do you have a booking no we don't they put us outside in the cold inside many tables were empty only a few people they said they are booked but they closed 8 pm on a Monday the food was great tasting price is pretty expensive and the elderly lady was pretty Rude to us even we showed our vaccine status she told me to put my mask on. No way I would just walking to the toilet what a joke she is the rest of the staff are very freindly .fish chips was delicious and the catch of the day And my wife she doesn't need show her bloody license to that elderly staff non of her business what Rude person

We had a lovely, pleasant dinner here, great service, friendly staff. Beautiful views on the water. The mussles cooked in sauce were to die for, left us wanting more although generous serving, so delicious and the good ole fish n chips were yummy, the fish was soft, flakey and fresh. Nice atmosphere too.

To breakfast here again would be reason enough for another visit, though the cosy room with comfy bed and dormer window was its own recommendation. The absence of a TV was welcome (we watched the football on the screen at The Stump).

We couldn’t have enjoyed our meal more at the Merrijig. The T- bone was seasoned and prepared perfectly and the duck fat potatoes were the perfect accompaniment. From amuse bouche to the focaccia and wine selection, our meal was outstanding.

We could see the passion from the chef. The price was high for the amount of food we were served. The staff could have been more attentive, drinks were charged but not received. Water not topped up without asking. I also noticed that serving staff had an extremely soiled bandaid on her thumb that was in very close proximity to my food.

We had a wonderful time staying overnight at Merrijig Inn. The food was excellent in the restaurant and all the staff couldn't do enough to accommodate us, we would thoroughly recommend staying at this querky, homely property . A fabulous experience !

Just absolutely perfect food, wine and service. Such amazing and attentive staff. Beautiful produce. Amazing experience

This is a very well run place to stay The food is five star breakfast was superb I can’t rate this place too highly

Omg loved it here, accommodation is suoer cute and restaurant is fantastic! Country style accommodation, rustic and gorgeous little windows, full bath in room! Restaurant serving delicious food, service on point and authentic. Cheeky Italian guy was fun, all staff brilliant .... Run, dont walk here, tip book the restaurant to avoid disappointment

Located inside a 19th Century former undertaker’s building, Coffin Sally is a local hot spot for quality pizzas, local craft beers and wines. The delicious thin crust pizzas are lovingly made using the finest quality ingredients. We shared 4 pizzas and were very impressed! The atmosphere is upbeat, friendly and the staff are super welcoming and knowledgeable. The earthy design features lots of timber, stone and an eclectic mix of decor including skulls! A not to miss experience if you’re in Port Fairy!

The best pizza I've had and I have had a lot of pizza. I don't say it lightly. Each pizza had a distinct flavor. We had the Mexicana, Mushroom, and Capricciosa. Staff is very nice and accommodating. The decorations are very unique and give off a vibe of their own.

We cant recommend this place enough. If you want take away Pizza grab a drink in the groovey bar hidden behind the Pizza shop while you wait. If you want a few drinks, chill in a rad bar with awesome staff then order a delicious pizza. I'm fructose intolerant and they accommodated perfectly. The garlic prawn pizza can come with no garlic and no tomato sauce. I added ham and white anchovies 🤤. Bloody amazing. Mrs had the FIOR DI SALLY. Delicious. Great bases and fresh toppings. Definitely be back for more. Thank you everyone

Amazing little place in port fairy. Excellent pizzas, great cocktail jugs. Atmosphere is great. Staff were friendly and helpful. Definently recommend if you are going past.

Recommend: Mushroom pizza, fijian pizza, chicama chocolate stout Food was incredible!!!! and ambience was very hip, but the table was quite sticky.

Unassuming eatery serving delicious pizza. It’s not your typical pizza spot – there’s a cool, creative vibe that adds to the experience Definitely worth visiting if you’re in Port Fairy

The pizzas were very..very..delicious, although the prawn pizza didn't have many prawns on it... The base and pizza sauces were spot on. The menu would benefit from having some thick cut potatoes with rosemary and rock salt. The staff could have also been a little more welcoming and warm. The decor is really cool throughout.

The Caledonian Inn and "The Stump" Pub are quintessential English style. Great atmosphere in both the Pub and the Restaurant. Log fires going (mid October 2025). Great selection of Beers on tap including local brews. The Pub and Restaurant were quite full, we chatted to a few travellers and locals. Claims to be the "Oldest Licenced Hotel in Victoria", established 1844. We stayed for a few beers. Yes, well recommended. Thank you.

Locals call it The Stump. A very clean and tidy comfortable room overnight at a competitive rate with off street parking Helpful friendly staff with good meals. A stroll from great coffee and breakfast. The cool boutiques in main steet open at 10. Beautiful town

Check-in via the pub is odd especially when it's busy. Fortunately we were there on a Sunday so closing time for the bar was 10pm. Had it been a saturday I can imagine the area would be noisy. Being in the room right next to the garden was fine for us but it could get noisy. Room was ok for one night.

We paid but left. No microwave. People sitting drinking on the stool outside our room. Swearing. Loud. Broken privacy blind. Not a safe friendly environment for families. No door latch to keep door securely shut. At first impression it was bad enough to say I will never return to port fairy. I love water environments but this has turned me away from port fairy. Will be telling all my friends of our experience. Went to a more family friendly room at extra cost but it was well worth it.

Enjoyed my meal of pan fried sea bream. The service was great and the atmosphere was awesome. Staff very helpful on choosing the local beers. Walking distance from Southcombe Caravan Park

Been here a few times and always enjoyed our meals. Got a shock when I purchased a glass of wine and a Guinness and was over $32. I can't justify that.

Great old pub... with good food, drink and service! 🍻

Ordered a fish burger over the phone. Walked in at 6.15 on a Friday night and it was empty and bit into my burger and disappointed hit when it was crappy frozen fish with no flavor. So disappointing places like these don't use the local produce. On a plus side salad was amazing and generous

The portion is very hefty, you can share a quarter chicken + chips + salad between 2 people! The chicken is juicy but a bit salty (for our taste), and the chips portion is so big that at some point we confuse where the chicken ends and the chips begin!

We had lunch here. Well priced and well proportioned. Great value for money. Friendly staff. Food was tasty and fresh. 9/10 We came back 8 mths later. Still awesome. Keep up the good work guys!!

What great value and great tasting meal this was. To take away, I ordered a Schnitzel Creamy Pack, which comprised of a large Schnitzel, roast pumpkin, peas, corn, scallop potatoes and gravy. The meal was large enough for two people. The Red Hen at 41 Sackville St, Port Fairy is right in the heart of town. The staff were quick, friendly and attentive. I placed my order, and the meal was ready in no time. If you want a flavourful meal I could recommend a trip to these guys and gals.

Amazing food, wonderful staff. Great and fast service. Must go and try . Loved it. Have added some picture, have a look

Best fish and chip takeaway in Port Fairy. Really good value, fresh produce, very well cooked, fish was delicious and potato cakes were next level. Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Their salads looked amazing. We will be back!

We head to Port Fairy once a year during the Port Fairy Folk Festival and this is the place that I really look forward to. Their salads are absolutely delicious, servings are very generous and the price so reasonable. Definitely recommend this place when you’re heading that way.

Massaman beef was horrible, couldn’t eat a single bite. The beef was rock hard, dry and inedible. Roti was crispy and snapped like overcooked pastry. Thai fried rice was ok as was the chicken pad thai. Service was terrible, asked for water, got a bottle with no glasses until we got someones attention and asked. No serving utensils for any dish, empty drink bottles piled up, no one took them away even after they struggled to fit the food onto the table. Would only recommend if nothing else is open.

Dined in the restaurant 18 months ago and it was one of the best Thai meals we'd had. Returned looking forward to another great meal but they were doing takeaway only even though there was only one couple dining in the whole place. Food was a disappointment this time being very light on ingredients, swimming in sauce. Curry was tasty but more like laksa! The sweet and sour was similarly light on and lacked flavour. Unfortunately, we won't be returning despite friendly and helpful service.

Probably one of the best Thai meals I have had - and a wonderful unexpected treat in beautiful Port Fairy. We found Lemongrass in Bank Street during a walk around the town, and the locals confirmed that it was a great choice. Booking for dinner was important, as the place quickly filled up and there was a constant stream of takeaway orders. The food was excellent and very reasonable in price, and I would recommend the Massuman Curry - great flavour and very tender beef. Staff were lovely and service quick and efficient.

Great little restaurant in Pt Fairy. Excellent service from start to finish. The two front of house girls were efficient and very pleasant and everyone seemed to be enjoying the meals. I had the beef massaman curry and it was delicious. In peak season I would recommend booking as it is very popular. It was full when we were there off peak on a cold and windy night. Great value too.

Very happy that we’ve walked far enough on Bank Street and found this restaurant. We were only in town for a night and hadn’t booked anything for dinner. They took us in although the place was packed. We’ve got a table for two right away and were set for our orders in no time. The roasted duck red curry and the Barramundi fish were absolutely delicious, we loved every bite. Highly recommend to come here. Lovely staff and great food for very reasonable prices. Thank you!

Great value for money. Duck red curry was very tasty. Service was very good. Limited wine selection. Would definitely go back.

We had heard Lemongrass was the best Thai in Port Fairy and overall we were happy with the food. However, we did wait over an hour for the entree to arrive. In fairness, the menu DOES say that there’ll be a wait but, it WAS a long time. The chicken spring rolls were great and I highly recommend them. The chicken green curry was great but, the chicken was a little dry. I still enjoyed the meal overall. I liked the coconut rice which had more flavour than most. The fried fish with 3 sauces was very crispy, and I loved the apple strips with it.

Great service and the mist friendly staff.. Accommodated us for a slightly late breakfast. All 3 meals were outstanding.. And what a location. Highly recommended by Adelaide Wine Tours McLaren Vale Motorcycle Tours

Delicious breakfast. Best creamy porridge ever. Surfbraker fantastic. Both meals were very very filling. Such lovely friendly staff nothing to much trouble. Great views, Good prices. We will be back.

Initially, I went in to see if they still sold their famous hot chips, which I loved when living in the area over a year ago. I was told they no longer have those, so I ended up leaving without eating anything other than ice cream from the front area. However, the staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was as it has always been and of course the view is amazing. Highly recommend this place. Two days later, I actually went back for lunch with a friend. The food was really tasty with lots of choice and reasonable pricing. Just watch out not to sit in front of the sliding door when it's windy or cold as staff use it a lot and the cold blowing in does spoil the dining experience.

Excellent flake and chips in a warm indoor setting with a view of the ocean. Great combination! Also recommend the fresh pear juice as the perfect pearing (pun intended) to it.

We arrived 5mins after the kitchen closed at 2:05pm. The staff obliged to cook our order. The Seafood Chowder was so hearty and delicious and the Garlic Prawns was delicious too. Friendly staff, great food and great views/ambience. Highly recommended 👍

Went in with my family because the food looked nice. We had just missed the breakfast menu. They where still offering eggs on toast on the kids menu and on other items. I asked if I could get just eggs on toast because it was being offered on other items but not by themselves and i was willing to pay extra. I was flatly told no. When I enquired why I was told because the chef said so. I future said that it's being offered on other menu items and it was not like they had to clean a grill or change anything to accommodate me. Was told no again with zero reason. We ended up just leaving. Its like business dont want to take your money these days... the lady who sat us at our table was absolutely lovely and accommodated us very very well.

Lovely relaxed spot right on the water. I had the open steak sandwich off the special of the day menu. Great little find
