Moyne Shire Mayor Daniel Meade said the council was assisting the accommodation business where the family stayed.
"Council is aware that a family of four who visited Port Fairy for three days last week have returned home where they have tested positive for COVID-19," he said.
"The family did the right thing, cutting their holiday short after being told a close family member in Melbourne had a confirmed case of the virus. They immediately returned to their home, which is not a hotspot suburb, and got tested.
"All four members of the family, two adults and two children, were asymptomatic while in Port Fairy. The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has advised that as they were not showing any symptoms, the risk of community transmission is low.
"Further details of where the family visited while in Port Fairy are not yet known and will be part of the DHHS investigation and contact tracing."
