24.01.2022 I was expecting rain this morning, so was super stoked to have the sun join @patsypickle1 and I on our #newnormal #morningwalk ( Trying not to think about how I would normally be in the middle of #breakfastshift for our #inhouseguests at this time of morning). #lifehaschanged #isolife #missingyou #whenyoucomeback #wewillstillbehere #betterthanever #bedandbreakfast #smallhotel #cosyandhomey #merrijiginn #portfairy

12.01.2022 Weve just popped our Inn to bed for a little while, to be watched over by our #privacypig posse. Last time we closed was #lockdown1 and we had to #physicallydistance our pigs. This time were able to still have friends over (within limits) so Prudence invited everyone to stay in her suite until our guests return. They all wiggled their tails in agreement at this mornings pig weekly meeting! So heres Priscilla, Petal, Polly, Peta, Pam, Paula & Prudence all settled in together for the rest of Winter. We wish all our friends in #lockdown2 safety and good health until we meet again in the Spring! #merrijiginn #bedandbreakfast #missingyou #staysafe #

11.01.2022 Sun streaming into the original 1840s window which is now the lounge room of our Suite #4. Its the only ground-floor Queen suite housed in the original part of our historic Inn, which overlooks our front garden. Time for a cuppa and some afternoon tea, Id say! Hopefully well seeing you sometime in the Spring! #missingyou #herewhenyougetback #countryescape #heritageinn #bedandbreakfast #smallandpersonal #comfyandcute #merrijiginn #portfairy #wandervictoria #greatoceanroad

10.01.2022 In my feed I love reading @the_moreystory insta posts! They are beautiful! Thx so much for your very generous post about your recent stay with us! We loved having you come visit!! #Repost @the_moreystory with @make_repost ... From where l live, it’s only a 20 minute drive to Port Fairy’s Merrijig Inn which means less time traveling and more time relaxing . Cumquat, vodka and chamomile concoctions sipped in the garden after a decent chat with the chooks. Grilled/smoked pork on a pear and walnut sauce for dinner and herb-spiked scrambled eggs in the conservatory for breakfast. The most comfortable bed, the most gorgeous staff and the most wonderful company. Mission accomplished. Completely rejuvenated, our money spent local, and the newcomers to Merrijig now as crazy about the place as I am. . #spendlocal #minivaycay #holidayathome . #merrijiginn #portfairy #seeyasoon See more
