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.

Comfortable and central.

The plusses of this property was the comfy beds, clean bedding, abundance of towels, toiletries, kitchen & bathroom products and cleaning equipment. Wifi was good, outdoor area and lounge were good size. The owner/host was prompt and friendly with communication. Down side was that I found the floors, cupboards and overall cleanliness to be below standard. Dead flies & dust around windows and skirts, cobwebs in corners and a few dead cockroaches under the bungalow bunk. The rugs could do with replacing and the wooden floors were sticky. The floor in the bungalow is a bit unsteady on walking through the door. I cleaned up a lot of stuff myself because I’m a weirdo that actually likes cleaning. When I mopped the floors the water was black a few times over. The bins were also full to the brim. However, as my cousin rightly pointed out - if the tenants prior to myself were dirty and left the place in a state bad enough to fill the bins, the regular cleaner would not have had hardly any time to do a deep clean if they had to pick up all the mess and make 10 beds plus do a surface clean. Overall, I loved the house. Great position, plenty of beds and linen and space to relax. Backyard secure to house medium to large dogs (not little ones as they could squeeze under gates). Aircon, washer, dryer and dishwasher all in good working order. Hot water a plenty! (Take care with little ones because it is hot!) This isn’t a 5 star hotel, it’s an older style home, but it is comfortable and central and relaxing once clean. Things to update - rugs or get rid of them altogether. A flywire at the back door. And an extra set of keys would have been handy. The lounge light works just fine, we figured out the fan remote has a button on it for the light on the last day! 😂

Not very clean and not suitable for small dogs

Starting with the positive - the house was well located, with comfortable beds and a good bathroom. There were plenty of spare towels and extra blankets. However, the house really needed a good clean - particularly the kitchen. There was a bowl of old noodles in the microwave, and plates and cutlery in the cupboard were dirty. Throughout the house we were frequently welcomed by the wildlife (cockroaches). Lounge ceiling light did not work and some of the remote controls had no batteries. The rear yard is not secure for small dogs, we had arranged to bring our Jack Russell upon booking, and were disappointed to find a large 30cm gap under the back gate. Most dogs would be able to escape.
