The Oak & Anchor Hotel was an establishment loved by all in Port Fairy for over 160 years and has recently undergone an extraordinary transformation. Forget what you knew about 'The Royal Oak' or 'The Commercial' - this historic place has played a vibrant role in the town's bustling history since the mid-1800s. When Port Fairy was known as Belfast, 'The Royal Oak' was the hotspot for locals and travellers alike. A rendezvous point for adventurous souls and a legendary watering hole.

Moving forward to 2017, everything changed. The era of 'The Royal Oak' came to a close, leaving an irreplaceable void in the hearts of Port Fairy residents. But fear not! In November of 2018, a dynamic duo emerged to breathe new life into this treasured establishment.

Meet Blair Robertson, a true local through and through, and his incredible partner, Sally. Together, they embarked on a daring journey to revitalise The Oak & Anchor Hotel and take it to new heights. With their unmatched passion, unwavering dedication, and deep love for their community, they have created a place where locals and visitors can come together to create unforgettable memories.

There are seven boutique suites, filled with natural light and a combination of stone, timber, and rusted steel textures, giving you an earthy, relaxed feeling when staying. Each of the rooms has custom-made bedheads, deep, luxurious bathtubs, artisan pottery, and locally made chocolates. You will also find the Sidro Lounge, Bar, and Restaurant, where you can enjoy a seasonal menu and that true local vibe.

Located in the seaside village of Port Fairy, right at the tip of the stunning Great Ocean Road, this gorgeously designed boutique hotel has reclaimed its rightful place as the heart and soul of this coastal town.
