“The Oak & Anchor's adults-only policy creates a distinctly intimate atmosphere, enhanced by its heritage setting in Port Fairy. Dinner impressed, especially the duck confit and beef cheeks paired with a local Pinot, though I understand breakfast might need some tweaking. Overall, this boutique hotel feels like a welcoming retreat, seamlessly blending history with modern luxury.”
