"Quality of accomodation- very good
Value of stay- relaxing, Sea breeze was good for my breathing, perfect(in contrast to hay fever sneezing as soon as I came back in Melbourne), nearness to beach of course is unbeatable.
Service- very good..but inform exactly when the accomodation is ready.
Overall Experience-- excellent, quiet, private, relaxing....my wife and I like to come back... "

"Spectacular view of the ocean, and direct access to the beach from the property. Lovely little cottage, very private, but still only a couple of minutes drive to the town. We treated ourselves to a massage in the cottage, after a long day exploring the beautiful surrounds of Port Fairy. Great location, cosy, comfortable and very peaceful. "

"very restful"
Guest rating: 4/5  - Colleen, VIC - July 08

"Cottage is pleasant and well equipped, but is not the isolated cliff-top cottage as it appears on website. There are houses going up near it and the owners house is directly in front of it. Only an angled view of the sea is available.
Stay was enjoyed despite an invasion of millipedes!"
Guest rating: 3/5  - Christopher, VIC - April 08

"Very nice stay - comfortable and private, and a close walk to the ocean. We'd come back for sure."

"My wife and I stayed for 3 nights and we loved it!
We were looking for a really relaxing place and Amhurst was perfect.You can see the sea from the cottage and it was clean, tidy and had everything in stock for a great stay. Breakfast is delivered by basket every other morning which is perfect."
Guest rating: 5/5  - Peter, LONDON - December 07

"Very peaceful, and private, everything provided for a wonderfully relaxing time. Beautiful views of the ocean and very friendly helpful owners. We will be returning."
Guest rating: 5/5  - Jan, VIC - May 07

"'Amhurst' was perfect for a quiet, relaxed get-away. I love Port Fairy, and 'Amhurst' is the exactly the type of accommodation I was looking for. Small, neat and so tranquil. Such close proximity to the rugged coast and the beach walks are great for walking or even just gazing out the window. The owners were very welcoming but not obtrusive, very friendly and helpful. I found 'Amhurst' to be very reasonably priced. I am already planning my next stay at 'Amhurst,' as the feeling of relaxation that 'Amhurst' provided is what a busy person needs much much more of!"
Guest rating: 5/5  - Karen, VIC - April 07

"Fantastic location, relaxing, plenty of attention to detail and everything you could possibly need. Graham is just a stones throw away if you do need anything extra but respects your privacy. Magnificent views from the nearby Time and Tide cafe. If you want to sit, watch the ocean view and listen to nothing, or just have a cosy little getaway and relax with a book,watch TV or DVD this is the place. "
Guest rating: 5/5  - Linda, VIC - March 07

"An excellent stay. Wonderful location. Everything we needed in the cottage.
Warm welcome.
Wish we had been able to stay longer!!"
Guest rating: 5/5  - Stephen, HAMPSHIRE - February 07

"A great little place if you would like peace and quiet over looking the ocean views"
Guest rating: 4/5  - Mark, VICTORIA - November 06

"We loved the Amhurst holiday cottage and wished we could have stayed longer. The seclusion, the accessibility to the Time and Tide Gallery and Cafe, the private beach for beachcombing and the ambience of the cottage itself ... all very relaxing."
Guest rating: 5/5  - Margaret, ACT - October 06

"Hi, stayed at Amhurst for a couple of days over summer. What a fantastic place, right on the beach and graham made us feel very welcome. Lovely walk along beach to town - go and see the mutton birds - incredible!!!"
Guest rating: 5/5  - Philip, VICTORIA - February 06

"We loved this cottage: the views were fantastic and the location suited us, though it might be difficult without a car. Fittings and equipment were basic but of good quality. A friendly and helpful host. Good value for money. We'd rate it as a 4+"
