Great location

Situated overlooking Portage and 270deg views. Had a perfectly relaxing weekend with kayaking and walking and plenty of spa time. You don't have the house to yourself which we didn't realise when we booked it. However, you don't see the owners and your little self contained room is accessible without disturbing them.

Stunning and isolated location

Amazing location with stunning views! The view from the attached unit we stayed in looks to the head of Keneperu sound (not the view in the header photo but still beautiful!) Portage is very quiet, literally just the hotel / houses there and the road is quite damaged/one lane in a lot of places so slow going. We went fishing from the jetty on the other side of the bay with great success. Had a few interactions with the owner, nice guy. Overall had a great time!

Stunning views from the lockoff unit !!

Because of the long commute on a road that was marginal at best, we needed to truncate our stay by two days. There are several narrow, one lane sections on the road to the home, and we had two close calls with local drivers driving WAY too fast on the road. The unit has access to a beautiful indoor spa and pool. There is no internet provided during your stay -- a big negative for us as well. The host Ralph was very helpful and provided interesting history of the building of the home! Bottom line: The commute to the home takes much longer than the map would indicate, along a marginal road! That fact should have been listed in the unit description . . .

Epic views of a magnificent part of the world...

What a privilege to be able to stay in a magical part of the world with amazing 360 degree views, which in my opinion would be hard to beat anywhere on the planet. Our hosts were generous with their facilities, including exclusive access to the spa, and great BBQ facilities. A great and relaxing stay.
