A well rested stay at Restus

My friends and I had an wonderful stay at Restus. Julie was extremely responsive ahead of our trip and was courteous in every one of our engagements. Her instructions were clear and she even provided insights into places of interests around Port Fairy for us to explore. She went above and beyond what we have experienced with other hosts in the past, such as checking to see when we were expecting to arrive and had the heater turned on an hour or so before hand so that the house was nice and warm when we got there. The house was decorated and made up immaculately, putting our own homes to shame! I highly recommend a stay at Restus and can't wait to be back again.

This 12 night booking was our second stay here with an extended family group and everyone loved it. The house is sparkling clean and so comfortable and the Cafes of Port Fairy are within comfortable walking distance. WIth so many little touches Joe and Julie are wonderful, thoughtfull hosts and their property 'Restus on South' certainly lives up to it's name. Watching the waves roll in never gets old, whether from the balcony, deck or inside.

Just Perfect!

The house is beautiful, spacious and comfortable with sparkling presentation. The location is ideal with safe bathing beaches only a few minutes’ walk away. Town is a little further (I can recommend hiring some bikes from the Surf shop on Bank Street – very reasonable). The two living areas really makes the house very versatile, easily accommodating our two families with teenagers. Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds are and how luxurious the place felt. Hosts Julie and Joe made our whole experience seamless with their prompt communication and thoughtful inclusions. We stayed a week and never tired of the view upstairs day or night, and the view downstairs isn’t too shabby either! Leaving was hard but we were consoled in the knowledge that we had already managed to book it for next year!
