About this property

Portland Family Holiday House

Located in the scenic seaside town of Portland Victoria.

Holiday House
3 bedrooms under main room and a 4th bedroom off the rear deck.
Queen beds in bedroom 1 and bedroom 2.
Double and single beds in bedroom 3.
Double / single bunk combo in external bedroom 4 off rear deck.
All linen and towels are supplied.

Kitchen with dishwasher, gas stove and full size fridge. Well equipped cooking equipment including rice cooker.

Gas BBQ

Fenced yard with off street parking, access to rear yard for trailer or boat parking.

Only a few minutes drive to the beach, jetty and local shops and restaurants.

Weekly discount

When you book to stay 6 nights you get the 7th night free.

The weekly rate is less than the 6 night rate.

We are happy to accommodate 1 night bookings and have structured our rates to charge a cleaning fee which just contributes to the cleaning costs and offers our guests who want to stay for a shorter duration more flexibility rather than have a 2 or 3 night minimum night stay.

Places to visit

If you are staying in Portland for a few days be sure to take the opportunity to explore the region.

Cape Bridgewater is great for Whale watching or spotting seals and is only a short drive West of Portland along the coast.

Nelson is located approx 70kms West on the border of South Australia and Victoria and is a tiny seaside town located at the mouth of the Glenelg River. Scenic river cruises and boat / canoe hire available.

Mount Gambier, South Australia is located 105kms West and is the largest regional city in South Australia. It offers plenty of scenic attractions, shopping and restaurants. Be sure to visit the Blue Lake, especially between November - February when it is a spectacular blue. Blue Lake Tours run daily to the water surface.The Umpherston sinkhole is a cave garden which is also lit up and home to possums at night. The Cave gardens in the city centre are also worth a visit and if you want to venture underground, visit Engelbrecht Cave for a tour. If you have children, be sure to visit the Valley Lakes playground area.

Great location

Great property if you're out and about. Not set up for sitting up watching TV. TV is not a smart TV and only has local stations. It is close to shops which is great. The house is compact and tidy, though is old and tired. Front garden is beautiful, and nice to sit on bench in the sun. Gap under back gate a slight concern as small dogs could crawl out. Overall - nice house.
