- The Space
Fisherman's Stay is our very first holiday home in the small fishing town of Port Franklin.
Stunning river views from the balcony is the ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee and just watch the world go by.
Just a 10 minute drive from the heart of Foster, Fisherman's stay is ideal for families to escape to the tranquillity of a riverside community, where short drives to key locations does not phase them.
The home itself is 2 story, finished with modern touches for that "home away from home" feeling.
Downstairs contains the main kitchen and living space, leading onto the undercover BBQ/outdoor entertainment area. Bedroom 1 contains a Queen, Bedroom 2 contains a tri-bunk (single over double) with a communal bathroom, equipped with shower + toilet.
The house comfortably sleeps up to nine, which is perfect for large groups, or multiple families traveling together. This beautiful home offers a superb relaxed environment to enjoy your holiday.
Upstairs are the remaining 2 bedrooms, both in which contain a Queen bed. The lounge is equipped with a large sofa, a smart TV and a kitchenette/bar for separate entertaining use. The bathroom upstairs is very generous in size, containing a shower, double basin and bathtub.

- Neighborhood
Port Franklin is a small fishing town on the edge of Corner Inlet + the banks of the Franklin River.
Approximately 2.5 hours South East of Melbourne, this little fishing town is perfect for your next country retreat.
Wilsons Promontory is located 40 minutes from the town, there are some key stops along the way down to this part of the country. Fish Creeks iconic pub, Long John Pickles cafe and Alison Lester art gallery are a must see when travelling through. Gurney's Cidery and other wineries are dotted around the area, welcoming all who are passing through. Stroll the stretch of beach running from Sandy Point Surf Beach (patrolled in summer) right down past Waratah Bay surf beach, to Walkerville South beach, home of the Lime Kilns. Find yourself accompanied by locals fishing, swimming and exploring the many rock caves in the surrounds. Will you manage to find the infamous hidden Blue Pools, a secret swimming spot the locals adore?
Wherever you may venture to in our favourite part of South Gippsland, be sure to prepare, the locals are always up for a friendly yarn.
- Getting Around
Port Franklin is a lovely Village to stroll around, however getting beyond this you will need your own car.
- Other things to note
