Reviews
Absolutely wonderful home
nicole g - 22nd September 2024Our family of seven - grandparents, parents and three children had a wonderful stay at Fairview. The house is absolutely gorgeous, with a really warm, inviting and comfortable feel to it. We loved the artwork everywhere. The garden is lovely with lots of space for the children to play, whilst the shops are walking distance and the beach a two-minute drive. We were also very grateful for the generous check-out time. We look forward to coming back soon!
Relaxing and spacious
Lynette A - 4th December 2023Fairview was perfect for our purpose and was a relaxing base for an extended family getaway. We liked its casual feel and the older style home with lots of green space. It had everything we needed and it felt like we were staying in a friend's house.
Great location
Kylie - 12th February 2023Character filled cottage in a brilliant location. We loved the quirky and original feathers. The house was lovely and well priced
characterful property in Gerringong
Isobel C - 25th April 2022A lovely characterful house with plenty of space for our group of 5, including our 91year old nanna. Although we are keen cooks we spent most of the time eating out but appreciated how well appointed the kitchen is. The entire house is well appointed for a comfortable few days away with lots of spare blankets, games, reading material etc. We loved the decor and all the artworks and the great location. We really enjoyed our holiday at ‘Fairview’.
Lovely place

Michelle13 - 29th April 2019Second time we have stayed at Fairview & it's a great location & property. Easy 15 min walk to the beach (all downhill), super close to shops.

Thank you for a great stay!!!
Rohana - 11th July 2017Thank you for a great stay!!! Great location close to town. Fireplace was amazing, best ever!!! Comfy, relaxing, great place to chill. Husband, myself and our dog child had a fantastic time. However would have been good to know it was right next to a sport ground. Also do other two fireplaces work?? Overall great stay, thank you!!!!
Great location in the heart of town.
Jono - 5th July 2017Great location in the heart of town. Was a nice long weekend away. Being right next to the rugby field we watched the games from the balcony. Loved the stay
Family friendly
Carly - 21st April 2017What a great spot for a family vacation. The house is perfect for small children (with no sharp edges or little things hanging around!). The location couldn't have been better because it was so easy to wander 30seconds to the IGA or 2 minutes to main street. The bedding was wonderful and everything was really clean.
great place
ZacK - 31st January 2017Fairview is definitely a great place for a family trip
House was fabulous
AlexB - 8th November 2016House was fabulous. Very close to the main shops. Lots of space, considering there was 7 of us!
Perfectly wonderful Fairview
Jenny - 18th October 2016What a beautiful home, sitting in the backyard watching the butcher bird & listening to the wind through the trees and you can still hear the surf in the background. The house itself has everything you might want. My daughter loved the electric blanket, the woodfire heated the whole house on the chilly nights and the ceiling fans cooled us during the days. The flying fox in the yard looked like such fun that next time I am going to borrow a child to come with us just so I can see the smile on their face! A great location, a great house.
Great house & location
MichelleH - 7th October 2016Great house & location. Super close to the shops and easy drive to the beach. Dog & kids loved it. Well equipped with plenty of room. Would definitely stay agai
pretty cottage
SarahC - 27th September 2016Fairview was a pretty cottage in a delightful location. My friends and I stayed for a weekend in September and really enjoyed it. It was clean and well presented, quirky and full of character. It was a bit chilly and we relied on the log fire to warm us up which added to the character. The staff were very professional and responsive. I would definitely stay again.
Lovely welcoming place!
Elizabeth - 15th August 2016Lovely welcoming place! Very comfortable and well equipped.
Light and welcoming
LibbyK - 14th August 2016Our party of five women spent two lovely days visiting Gerringong for the Fibre Muster at the nearby town hall. We are so glad we selected this beautifully presented comfortable house surrounded by its sunny interesting old garden. Fairview is well equipped for a longer stay, in a quiet street close to the town centre. We loved walking on the beach at sunset, eating delicious food at the Blue Swimmer, and exploring Berry amid wonderful landscapes in early spring.
Beuatiful Home
BenN - 21st May 2016Great old house that is spacious, but also warm and cosy. The backyard and trampoline were great for the kids. Easy walk to get great coffee at Blue Espresso bar and Werri Beach and the Rockpools are within easy walking distance.
We loved our weekend at Fairview.
DaveT - 9th December 2015We loved our weekend at Fairview. A lovely house with everything we needed. Would love to come back. Thanks heaps!

Easter weekend away
LaurenH - 14th April 2015My friends and I spent the Easter long weekend at Fairview and had an amazing time. The location is fantastic - right in town and just 15 minute's walk to the beach. We loved the character of the house with the working fireplace for the rainy days, the modern kitchen with all the necessary appliances, the modern and clean bathrooms, the very comfortable beds, and the BBQ. The dog-friendly house meant we could bring our dog who had the best fun running around the backyard. Would definitely recommend to others and would stay here again.
