    The rooms here are beautifully designed and modern, with a cozy king-size bed that'll make you feel right at home. The cold breakfast buffet has locally sourced produce, which hits the spot, especially when you're looking for a solid start to your day after exploring around.

    The parking situation could use a little fine-tuning. it wasn't as convenient as some other rooms, but it wasn't a total hassle either.

    perfect base for exploring port fairy's charming attractions

    the food was excellent, with daily breakfasts featuring fresh local produce, while the cozy atmosphere made me feel right at home, all just a short walk from beautiful east beach and the iconic port fairy lighthouse on griffiths island, which are both must-sees during your stay.

    delicious breakfast
    cozy king bed
    great location
    road noise

    drift house is such a gem! the decor is funky and modern but still feels cozy. The breakfast was delish and made with local stuff. the location is super handy, we walked everywhere, including to that merryjig inn for a yummy dinner. colleen is the best host, made us feel so welcome. we loved the comfy king bed in our suite, slept like babies!

    only downside was a bit of noise from the road and wish we could've stayed longer!

    balcony coffee
    garden area
    cooling pool
    shady lounging area

    I had such a fun time here, especially enjoying the sweet little balcony for morning coffee and the quaint garden area for some chill vibes. The pool was perfect for cooling off after a hot day exploring, but I did notice it could use a bit more shade for lounging. Definitely recommend bringing a book to enjoy by the pool! 😊

    Drift House impressed with its modern and stylish interiors, superb room amenities, and an exceptional breakfast featuring local produce. The spacious suite provided a comfortable living area, while the inviting atmosphere through original artwork and thoughtful decor made for a delightful stay. The in-house dining with its tapas menu was also a highlight, perfect for a relaxed evening.

    welcoming hosts

    Family with children might find it charming

    The room was really modern with a cool layout, having a king size bed that felt like sleeping on a cloud and a little lounge area for family time. We appreciated the insightful recommendations from the hosts on where to grab a bite – the local tips were spot on and made our meals memorable.

    It wasn’t inexpensive but still reasonable considering the amenities.
