Portee had everything we needed for our family holiday. It was a great place to take a break from our busy lives and connect as an extended family (Grandparents, parents and grandkids). We enjoyed the beautiful nature setting, the character and heritage of Portee, the kayaks, fun and easy meal times with the well equipped commercial kitchen. Many happy memories were made.

Milestone birthday celebration

A wonderful venue for our family of 16 to celebrate a milestone birthday. Accommodation first class, great kitchen facilities and large dining room.Fronting the river backwater gave kids the chance to fish from the pontoon and use the kayaks. Large lawn areas to kick a footy. Great for bird watchers too.

Perfect Portee

This is the ideal family/friends holiday destination. Whilst the property is old, steeped in history, it was spotlessly clean, we had a bathroom to each bedroom, which was wonderful. Plenty of outdoor chairs for relaxing on the lawns. The weather was super hot but the air conditioning coped really well. We will book this holiday again. Thank you Kim, great host!

A great place for a family get together.

We loved every minute of our stay at Portee, and our timing as the River floods were receding allowed us to experience 1st hand some of the devastations at Blanchetown while enjoying opportunities to catch yabbies and canoe through the tranquil backwaters and enjoy the native wildlife. The provided facilities included an industrial kitchen, 8 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, and a large family area. All your needs were well catered for and the indoors were clean and well-presented.
