We love that our house has an interesting past. A five story steam flour mill that struggled financially and closed in 1871 to become a storage unit for the Belfast and Koroit Steam Navigation Co until 1883, it apparently then went on to become a skating rink and location for other various entertainments.

The top two stories of bluestone were removed to construct the tower of St John’s Church in Regent Street, Port Fairy and the storage buildings were demolished.

​The lower stories remained intact but derelict and vacant for many years until it was successfully converted into 4 townhouses in 2002. It has been enjoyed by many a traveller since. 

You can see Moyne Mill in its original form, overlooking the river below.  ​Come see its new form and experience a little bit of history for yourself.

    Your host: Fleur

    My husband and I grew up in Warrnambool, Australia and love returning to our home town and surrounds with our kids. Port Fairy has been a natural holiday destination for us where we can relax and visit family and friends. We are excited to own a piece of history in the former mill and share it with others. 

    We love to travel both in Australia and abroad and have travelled extensively in South East Asia and Europe. We hope to bring our knowledge and experience to make your holiday a great one too.
