Owners were lovely, was a great quiet place for us to stay while watching grandchildren in the cricket carnival. We were happy to be on the outskirts of Portland. Suited our needs for a sleepover place. Very clean and lovely fresh smell on entry. Lovely big towels too.

Would have been nice to have AC on after arriving after a very hot day. Only 2 towels for 3 people and no faces after a hot sweaty day and having booked for 3 people wasn’t ideal. Shower is very old and grubby.

On the edge of town, and for me, convenient to head straight out of town the next morning to Port Macdonnel.
