THERE's no doubt that the Port Fairy Folk Festival is one of Australia's leading musical events and this increasing popularity means accommodation is harder to come by. However it's not too late to secure alternative accommodation in the form of a Campervan Rental. It's a fantastic way to take in the festival, spend time on the road on the way down or returning from Port Fairy and exploring the Great Ocean Road, Western Victoria or the Grampians. What's more Port Fairy offers Holiday Parks with powered sites so you get to experience the Festival, enjoy the camaraderie of camping and relax in the comforts of a modern campervan or motohome.
With all the mods cons including comprehensive Kitchen and Bathroom features, flat screen TVs and plenty of room to stretch out, today's Motorhomes have a look and feel of a home from home (albeit on wheels!). Check out the latest Melbourne Motorhome Rental prices.
