Canterbury Rotary Group Port Fairy Get-Together
 
This three day get-away will provide ample opportunity to relax and socialise together in a beautiful rural setting.
 
Located along the magnificent Great Ocean Road, Port Fairy is a quaint village on the edge of the dramatic Southern Ocean. Soak up the historic charm of this bluestone fishing village located along the picturesque Moyne River. Walk the wide-open streets with a fresh coffee in hand and find a handmade treasure at one of the many artisan boutiques.
 
Voted the most livable community in the world in 2012 and recently announced by the Architectural Digest as one of the 50 most beautiful towns in the world, Port Fairy is a must- see destination.
September in Port Fairy is beautiful. While Spring weather abounds, the peak season crowds are nowhere to be seen. Seacombe House, located right in the heart of Port Fairy, is offering a great deal for Rotary members with a Stay 3 Pay 2 offer for direct bookings only. Great value!
 
Objectives
 
  • Support rural communities and enjoy the beauty of the historic township of Port Fairy and surrounds.
  • Rotary Club fundraising opportunity by booking direct 12% refunded to Canterbury Rotary Club
  • To take time out from our busy lives, have fun together and create social connections between club members.
The Canterbury Rotary Group Port Fairy get-away will be for 3 days. A terrific program has been developed to provide members with an unforgettable experience.
