Magnetic Cottage Port Fairy

Magnetic Cottage is an 1850s bluestone cottage in Port Fairy that markets itself as pet and family-friendly. It is a self-contained house that sleeps up to seven, so it suits a larger group or family travelling with a dog.

The pet policy. The cottage is described as pet-friendly, with pets allowed in the accommodation and, on some booking listings, often with no extra pet charge. Policies can vary between booking channels, so confirm the pet terms directly with the property and let them know you are bringing a dog. Treat the no-fee detail as something to verify at booking rather than guaranteed.

The place. It is a historic self-contained bluestone house sleeping up to seven, which makes it a good fit for families or groups who want the whole place rather than a single room.

Location and nearby. Port Fairy's centre, the Moyne River walk and the town cafes are within easy reach, and East Beach is close for a longer run under the seasonal on-lead and off-leash rules signed by Moyne Shire.

Before you book. Confirm the pet policy and any fee directly, since listings differ, and tell the owner about your dog up front. Bring your own bedding and bowls.

Best for a family or group wanting a whole-house stay with the dog along. Confirm the pet terms when you book.
