We had such a lovely stay at this charming old Inn. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. We stayed in the beautiful queen suite, which had its own cozy sitting room which was perfect for relaxing. The Inn itself has such unique character, blending old-world charm with thoughtful little details that made it feel truly special. Dinner was another highlight - beautifully prepared using seasonal, local produce and cooked with genuine care. It truly felt like being a guest in someone’s home. The staff couldn’t do enough for you, and their warmth made all the difference. You could tell they genuinely love what they do and wanted every guest to leave with a memorable, personal experience.

The Merrijig Inn is a delightful old homestead with carefully appointed public rooms, with an old fashioned, cosy feel. We loved sitting by the fireplace on the comfy couches. The private rooms with private ensuite and sitting room were comfortable and pleasant. The breakfast was magnificent, with homemade jams, beautiful fresh and poached fruits, local yoghurt, freshly squeezed OJ, muesli, bread,etc, followed by delicious poached eggs and bacon and hot pot of tea!

The only criticism is that an electric blanket on the bed would have been really lovely. Nevertheless the bed and room were warm.

Lovely, quirky, homely guesthouse in an interesting building. Staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Lovely breakfast included with home made bread and a very nice omelette. Our suite had a nice little gas fire and the residents lounge a real log fire. The cookie jar was full and coffee and drinks available in in kitchen and rooms. Great stay in lovely Port Fairy. Don’t forget to do the walk round Griffiths Island, which is nearby. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

Wonderful staff, fantastic food and cozy old world inn atmosphere. We absolutely loved our stay at the Merrijig Inn. We felt welcome from the moment we were greeted by the very special Leeroy, who along with the other friendly staff reminded us how precious true hospitality is. The Merrijig Inn reminded us of our best travel experiences staying in charming pubs in the Cotwolds, but the great food and charm of the staff at the Merrijig made it even more memorable. Yes the attic bedrooms are small and the stairs are steep, but who gives a rat’s when the whole experience is so enjoyable.

Great position; close to the wharf and a lovely walk, also easy walking distance into the main street with lots of options for dinner. Our accommodation was very quaint and comfortable. Our room had a separate sitting room with tea/coffee making facilities & the t.v., a couch & small table & chairs. Perfect if one of you was not ready for bed! A communal lounge which had lots of reading material & again, tea & coffee making facilities. Lovely surrounds too. Breakfast was enjoyable and not too overwhelming - fresh fruit & yoghurt choices, breads, jams, etc. & one hot option which was lovely.

Staying in Merrijig was an absolute treat! The bedroom was surprisingly spacious, as was the bathroom. The common area was incredibly cosy, especially the little nook with the fireplace. Each morning, we were blessed with a delicious breakfast and wonderful variety. I have to mention the staff, as it felt like we were visiting old friends, rather than being guests. The whole vibe of Merrijig is just cosy, friendly, but professional at the same time. We can't wait to be back!

Quirky, warren type layout with lots of comfy corners to relax. Eclectic furnishings add to the traditional charm of the place. We stayed in the king room which was a huge 2 apartment. It was well furnished with lots of homely touches. We had a wonderful meal cooked with local fresh produce accompanied with high quality local wine Restaurant and reception staff warm and welcoming and bid us a cheery fair well Central location lovely for an evening stroll

A lot of the fixtures are ageing and in need of repair. The shower head needs replaced and it was difficult to regulate the temperature. The mattress needs replaced or a topper added as it was an uncomfortable sleep

It was a delightful place, full of character and charm. The staff were friendly and hospitable and the included breakfast was so delicious. It was located close to the river and just a short walk into the town centre. We booked a last minute stay at Easter and stayed in an attic room which was small and cosy (as clearly advertised) but were able to see the larger rooms before we left and would love to come back and stay in one of those. We also had dinner one night which was amazing!

We loved our brief stay at the Merrijig Inn. We felt immediately welcome and a special need was readily accommodated by the lovely staff. The Inn is charming with different areas for visitors to enjoy including a lovely lounge area with an open fire place, a quite library area and a lovely garden (it was too cold for us to truly enjoy this space). The room was large, the bed comfortable and the outlook very pleasant. The Inn is one of the oldest in Victoria and visitors should expect old world charm and not perfection. The night were were there the restaurant was not open for dinner, but the breakfast that was included in the tariff was delicious with a buffet of cold home made choices, cereals, and museli in addition to eggs and bacon on sour dough. Tea came in a teapot with a tea cozy. This kind of olde worlde charm is reflected throughout the inn. We are planning to stay here again in the future.

There was nothing we did not like.

Beautiful old Inn with so much character. Very hospitable, welcoming receptionist. The rooms are cosy as what you would expect for an old inn. Alot of character everywhere you look and tea/coffee and biscuit station for guests to help themselves. Great cold buffet breakfast as well as a cooked dish included in the price. Lots of little cosy lounges to sit. We have stayed in an 800 year old inn in Scotland and this is as close as you can get to it in Australia. It was the perfect end to our 3500 klms road trip. Highly recommend staying here. Thanks for a fab stay.
