Stunning!

Katrina - 5th January 2026

We loved Idle Rocks - the location was unbelievable, with the board walk to the protected beautiful beach that felt like it was just for us... A very special place and we had a gorgeous time. Well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, easy to use BBQ. Everything we needed. Highly recommended.

Idle Rocks Perfection

Ngarra - 29th December 2025

Idle Rocks was the perfect beach house— beautiful, spacious, and architecturally designed for the best ocean views. The spectacular ocean views were breathtaking, providing a stunning backdrop from morning light to sunset. Having exclusive access to the beach made it feel truly special, and the home itself was stunning. It was the ideal setting for a Christmas lunch with our big family, with plenty of room to relax. A truly magical place we’ll never forget.

Great location

William - 4th June 2024

Can thoroughly recommend Idle Rocks for a 5 star stay in Port Fairy. We were 5 couples who all thought the location and views plus the house layout and facilities were excellent. The cold weather in late May was not an issue due to the good central heating.

Thanks William for an amazing review of Idle Rocks, we are happy to hear that you found it to be a 5 star stay and that it was suitable for 5 couples. We are glad the central heating kept you all nice and warm! We hope to accommodate you again soon!

Could have been a brilliant stay but for want of a thorough clean

Wai - 9th March 2024

THE GOOD: Fabulous house; great location; outstanding views; a joyous boardwalk leading to the sea; clean bedlinen and towels; comfortable beds; well equipped kitchen. THE BAD: House had not been well cleaned; floors were sandy in parts; some very dusty furniture; many cobwebs, dead spiders and ants; old and dirty BBQ; the base of the courtyard umbrella had rotted away. If the bad points were to be resolved in the future, guests would have a near 5 star stay.

Thanks you for your feedback Wai, we are glad to hear you enjoyed the location and views. We do apologise that the cleaning was not up to standard and that we are looking into this further.

Wow

Robert - 1st December 2023

From the moment we arrived at Idle Rocks, it was clear we were in for a treat. The property's location is simply unbeatable, offering breathtaking views that made us feel like we had our own private slice of the beach. Waking up to the sound of the waves and the tranquil ocean view each morning was a highlight of our stay. Ideal for large groups, the house comfortably accommodated us with its five well-appointed bathrooms and modern facilities, ensuring everyone had their own space.

Spectacular Views

Jenny - 26th October 2023

Family weekend away, 91yo parents 3 daughters and husbands. All had our own bedroom and bathroom, plenty of seating for everyone. Kitchen facilities were great. Just fantastic views from the back verandah with a glass of wine in hand watching the waves roll in. Wonderful and relaxing made for a very special weekend.
