Everything about Australia is vast. It’s as wild as it is beautiful, with crimson outback sands and multi-hued reefs surrounding super cities like Sydney and Melbourne. Bordered by the Indian Ocean to the west and the South Pacific Ocean to the east, Australia is home to some of the world’s best beaches, including Bondi in Sydney or Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. If you’ve got a bucket list, then Australia is a goldmine of once-in-a-lifetime activities. Snorkelling by the Great Barrier Reef, cage diving with great white sharks, driving the Great Ocean Road and camel rides on Cable Beach to name just a few. The majority of Australians live in one of the stylish cities, such as glamourous Sydney has the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge, or the sport-mad cultural capital of Melbourne. Adelaide in the south is a frenzy of festivals while the West boasts Perth – boasting ceaseless sunshine and a laidback lifestyle. If you’re backpacking through the outback, there are plenty of campsites, caravan parks and hostels scattered all around. There’s also a good selection of B&Bs and guesthouses, but if you want to take it up a notch, most cities offer a number of serviced apartments and luxury hotels.

Set in Port Fairy, 1.2 km from Port Fairy East Beach, Old Market Inn offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.
Guest review
well....what not to like? a historical building renovated to a fault with the most exquisite taste. Kim's art, flair for plush and luxury fabrics and materials make the suites little treasure troves, islands of pure comfort and style. it is stylish, elegant, comfortable, thought through so that you will never look for any missing amenities: steam iron? Nespresso coffee maker? Nespresso pods? incredibly plush towels and bathrobes? unbelievably soft linen bedding and comfy mattress? you name it, they have it.
and the timeliness and elegance of communications by estate manager Kelly make your stay smooth, sleek and a genuine pleasure through and through
we cannot wait to be back really. OMI is one of a kind. while everyone brags about luxury accomodation, Old Market Inn actually provides the real experience. splendid
