Restus on South ~ Coastal luxury..

Restus ..
Slow down, re-energize, don't rush, breathe, inhale the fresh salty air and create happy memories .. you won't want to leave.

Restus is nestled in the South Beach pocket of the beautiful, historical fishing village of Port Fairy.

It's very easy to drift off to sleep with the roar of the ocean in our four comfortably sized bedrooms that all offer high quality French flax bed linen and quilts/fluffy towels, cosy woollen doonas and superior mattresses.
Restus is perfectly suited for couples, family holidays/get togethers, or just a couple enjoying the King Master suite upstairs wanting to escape the everyday.

Restus is a family owned & operated holiday beach house which can comfortably sleep 10 guests.

Restus is only minutes from the iconic Pea Soup Beach - days can be filled exploring the many rock pools, beach walks, swimming, canoeing or snorkelling at either Pea Soup and South Beach, or watching surfers catch some waves at a surfing favourite - Oigles.

Bedroom 2: Queen bed - electric blanket/ceiling fan,
Bedroom 3: Queen bed - electric blanket/ceiling fan,

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!

The property was very clean, spacious and with a fantastic view of the beach. Our stay was for 4 days with 2 teen kids, and the place was well and truly big enough for the 4 of us. Heating worked well, as it was needed for the July stay, and thanks to the owners for the prompt reply in regards to how to switch it on... I just needed patients!. Thanks for a great stay!

Great House, beach views
Great house. Modern. Comfortable. Immaculately presented. Very well equipped throughout. Well furnished. Wonderfully dressed with beachside themes. Was a little taken aback that house was 1 block back from the water and view of the waves was a little blocked by houses in front - this was most likely more to do with me not picking up on that from the listing. The views were still sensational from the upstairs living area where we spent most of our time. Owner was a pleasure to deal with - prompt, accomodating, friendly. I would DEFINITELY stay here again and would recommend it to friends. It's probably the best presented holiday house I've stayed in over the years. Rate it very highly.

Michelle O.

Stay was good. Neighbours snd noise level terrible.
Property was ok however not as clean as should be. Shower screens had marks throughout glass. Remote for both tv and air conditioner not working as batteries flat and no spares left. I was staying with my mother who is terminally ill and at 5pm after a 3.5 hour drive the day before she was very tired. That was when the lawn was mowed for an hour. My mother asked the man why he was mowing in the weekend when property was booked and she was verbally abused for her efforts. The maintenance man who we discovered lived next door then proceeded to play his music extremely loud and banging into the bedroom walls the entire weekend we were there. We ended up leaving early due to my mother’s poor health and inability to rest due to noise. Extremely disappointing as this was a weekend to spend precious time with a dying woman.
