“Douglas Riverside situates guests in a wonderfully serene pocket of Port Fairy, nestled right on the river yet a mere few minutes' stroll to the town's vibrant dining scene. I found the generously appointed rooms, often enhanced by thoughtful touches like fresh bread and local produce in the fridge, truly speak to a welcoming hospitality. The grounds themselves invite quiet contemplation, a beautiful preface to exploring the nearby waterfront or the town's charming streets.”
