About this house rental
Built in 1999 and part of the larger Old St Andrews estate, this architecturally designed apartment is ideal for couples. It was renovated in 2011. The courtyard is sheltered and secluded. North, east and west facing, the balcony overlooks an orchard, native garden and beyond towards the town. The Loft is a short walk to the centre of the town and is close to everything. It includes a new, well-equipped kitchen. There is a cosy log fire for winter evenings. It is well furnished, has a small library and is decorated with local art work. There is free Wi-Fi and a smart TV, CD and DVD. There are separate laundry facilities. There is plenty of off-street parking and undercover parking for one car. Rainwater is available in the kitchen for making tea and coffee.
The Loft offers accommodation for up to three people in a queen bedroom and on an additional single bed in the reading alcove. Take advantage of our special rates for longer stays. Guests, especially children, are welcome to pick flowers, herbs and vegetables from the grounds of Old St Andrews and seasonal fruit from the orchard.
Old St Andrews comprises Port Fairy's former Presbyterian church and manse located on 0.4ha of landscaped grounds. It is the largest surviving estate in the centre of Port Fairy. The heritage buildings which date from 1854 and 1856 have been restored over the past twenty years. It is an ideal spot for bird watching (up to 50 species have been recorded) and you may even see some rare small native animals. This is one reason why the accommodation is not suitable for pets.
The Loft is in the centre of Victoria's first formally identified heritage township. It is close to fine restaurants, cafes, pubs, specialty shopping, the wharf and both beaches. The town has public sports facilities including an indoor heated swimming pool. Port Fairy is well situated for exploring the world famous volcanic landscapes of the Western District as well as wild coastlines, National Parks and a wealth of historic buildings.

All that I wanted and more
The Loft proved to be an even better stay than I was anticipating - and my expectations were high. The accommodation is designed and furnished to ensure a relaxed and comfortable stay. It feels special and at the same time very liveable. It has everything you could possibly need, without there being too much. And what really makes it all work - the hosts. Timothy and Roger are incredibly welcoming, generous and thoughtful, in just the right ways, being able to gauge what you need and when. A perfect stay. Thank you.

Wonderful accommodation with lovely hosts.
Our stay at The Loft was perfect. The generous provisions of free range eggs, beautiful bread, fruit and fresh coffee beans for a perfect coffee was everything we could have wanted. The balcony overlooking the rambling garden and the reading alcove were great for quiet relaxing holiday and yet a few minutes walk away were the cafes and restaurants of this charming historic town. We’re already looking forward to staying again.

Timothy and Roger were wonderful host's. We will definitely return.
The Loft was lovely. It was well presented, and being meet by Roger was a perfect start to our stay. There was a lovely loaf of cobb bread on the cupboard with marmalade, and a huge bowl of fruit (which we didn't get through) eggs, grapes, margarine and milk in the fridge. We weren't expecting those small things, but it certainly was appreciated.
Thankyou Timothy and Roger, keep up the good work, see you some time in the future, and will not hesitate on recommending The Loft to our friends :)

A wonderful hidden gem for couples
We love the seclusion of The Loft & so close to everything. The loft has all we need for a Port Fairy long weekend and would have been more than happy to stay the week and more... T & R provide so much in the way of local knowledge you are immersed in the community.

Lofty apartment in Tuscan inspired setting
A fabulous place from which to enjoy the delights of Port Fairy. The elevated, well designed and tastefully furnished apartment overlooks a Tuscan inspired garden. Breakfast on the balcony was the perfect way to start the day and an on point selection of books made for a perfect stay. Easy stroll to beaches. Friendly hosts. Can’t wait to return.

Unique Lofthouse in a Rambling Garden
The property was delightful ,like an estate from a historical BBC series. The loft house was quaint, well fitted out and comfortable, the best part being the balcony overlooking the garden, which I loved roaming around. The secret gate under the pines into the modern churchyard added to the flavour. Roger and Tim were helpful hosts, with good tips on largely undiscovered places on the Great Ocean Rd.
The only downside was the close proximity of the main highway to the edge of the property and the number of trucks burning past. Luckily the noise didn't affect us at night, cos of the bedroom being on the opposite side of the loft house. The town planners should have factored in a highway bypass arm, to preserve the quiet ambience in this part of town

Wonderful stay in great accommodation perfect for couples in historic estate
The Loft was a lovely character filled comfortable two storey town house perfect for couples. Well located in town close to the shops and with the best coffee in town around the corner - Port Fairy Coffee Roasters. It was well equipped and well suited for longer stays - we only wished we could have stayed longer.
Timothy and Roger were great hosts providing helpful local advice & history, and a tour of the historic property.

Absolutely amazing place
The weather was ordinary (cold and wet) during our stay, but we were happy to stay indoor in a warm and cosy place.
The Loft sit on a property surrounded by trees and garden, and well shielded from the main road and traffic noise. It felt clean throughout (down to glass, bowls and kitchen utensils).
Timothy and Roger were great, they made us felt like home the moment set foot on the property. So thank you!
We would definitely stay there again given the opportunity.

Great stay!
My friend and I stayed at The Loft for a couple of nights at the beginning of our GOR trip. Timothy met us and gave us a little intro to the home and the area. It was beautifully displayed, clean and very open and my favourite feature of all: the fireplace (which they had supplied all the wood and kindling we needed). It was close to town, only a few minute's walk, and had everything we needed for our stay. I can't wait to go back there for another weekend away!

Lovely Loft
I was on a working holiday while staying at the loft. The position of the dining table meant I had beautiful natural light during any time of day I was working. The little fireplace warmed up the place so well. The hosts are very kind. I would happily stay again.

The Loft is a charming and comfortable house located on a large property within easy walking distance of the main streets of Port Fairy. Its tree-lined driveway and entrance space are quite scenic and birdlife abounds. Timothy was a great host who checked in with us a number of times to ensure everything was to our liking.

Beautiful stay!
We recently stayed at the Loft and had such a wonderful time. Timothy was so great from the very start. From helping us with recommendations on where to go for dinner, lovely places for walks and just a pleasant person to deal with. The accommodation was so cute and perfect for a couple. The little breakfast provisions were so nice! Within walking distance to the shops and had all we need. We hope to be back really soon! Thank you so much Timothy!
