Adults-only boutique hotel with award-winning spa and dining in Port Fairy

Award-Winning Architecture & Design

Drift House earned the Australian Tourism Award for Best Luxury Accommodation and a Victorian Architecture Awards Commendation for its historic Victorian facade reimagined with contemporary interiors. The adults-only property houses just a few suites, creating an intimate atmosphere. A 25-metre black-tiled infinity pool overlooks the vineyard, and a private courtyard with a large open fireplace offers space for evening relaxation.

Spacious Suites with Thoughtful Design

All suites at The Drift House are approximately double the size of average hotel rooms, offering a king bed, separate sitting area, and a large bathroom with both shower and bathtub. Selected suites include a private balcony and an in-room fireplace with a fire kit set nightly. The design prioritizes privacy and quiet, with soundproofing ensuring a peaceful stay.

Award-Winning Dining & Cooking School

The Salon, the hotel's restaurant, serves a Spanish-inspired menu with seasonal ingredients sourced from local organic farms. Dishes such as local octopus and cheesecake have earned high praise from guests, and the wine list is noted for its fair pricing. Guests can join hands-on cooking lessons with renowned chefs at the on-site cooking school.

Wellness & Outdoor Facilities

Drift House Port Fairy offers an award-winning spa with private treatment huts set among treetops. A 25-metre black-tiled infinity pool with vineyard views is complemented by free bicycle rental for exploring the town. The private courtyard fireplace provides a social hub for evening drinks and conversation.

Prime Location on the Great Ocean Road

Drift House Victoria sits at the end of the Great Ocean Road, a 5-minute walk from Port Fairy's East Beach. The town's shops, cafes, and lighthouse are within easy walking distance. Guests can also access the boardwalk and coastal views directly from the hotel.
