The Wandering Whale The Wandering Whale – Port Fairy. We’re now proudly independent! The hostel is right in the centre of Port Fairy and is close to the beach and riverside.

Same management and friendly staff :)

For all wanderers at heart we're still your cosy home away from home — just with a little more freedom to roam. We are in one of Port Fairy’s many historic buildings. This was the home of one of the town founder’s - William Rutledge. We have a wide variety of accommodation from shared dorm rooms, private doubles, twins and family rooms. Some rooms with own facilities.

WHAT A RESULT! 🐋

CGG’s seismic blasting proposal in the Otway Basin has been rejected by the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority in a historical win.

A huge step forward for protecting our marine habitats, wildlife, and coastal communities. 🌊

The BEST $10 you could have spent last night 🎸⚰️☠️🍕🎤🎶✨

One of the many things we love about is all the live music on offer 🥰

Last night, Pete & the team at .sally had The Victoriana Gaye Trio performing live…and it was magical ✨

Intimate venue, electric atmosphere, effortless musical talent, the most delicious pizza & cocktails all rolled together to create an ambient delight 🫶🏼

With special guest appearance from the local legend on the Harmonica too - it was a real treat of a night!
