YAMBUK and PORT FAIRY

Yambuk : Where the rivers meet the lake, and the lake meets the sea.

There are a few accommodation options in Yambuk including Eumarella Backpackers our local backpackers hostel. There is also a caravan park at the Lake and various B&B's and holiday houses for rent around town.

Port Fairy is only 15 to 20mins from Yambuk. Port Fairy has many attractions and is a beautiful seaside resort town. We love the great food, fantastic shopping, the surf and swimming beaches and the relaxed Port Fairy lifestyle. Port Fairy has plenty going on all year around and has a wide range of accommodation options available.
