Indoor pool and spar bath were fantastic, also with great views! A wonderful peaceful stay and was nice and isolated. A hotel with restaurant a very short drive away. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kayne R. 26 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Kayne R.

Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kieran M. 11 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Kieran M. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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 . . . ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anita S. 26 Feb 2025 ##### Anita S.

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. ##### Teresa E.

Gorgeous property, views, birdsong, peace and quiet. Room is brand new, warm and well equipped. Thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay here. Visitors be warned, the Portage shop is very poorly stocked and we would have gone hungry if our hosts had not been able to provision us. Nearest decent shop is in Havelock- 40 mins on a very windy road. Lovely walks, fishing available- all made much better by our hosts welcoming and friendly approach. Thanks so much. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in City Centre Glasgow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/City-Centre-Glasgow-Glasgow-Hotels.0-n6129620-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Granville](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Granville-Hotels.d7450.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Dalyance](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marmaris-Hotels-Hotel-Dalyance.h35203058.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Girona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Girona-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d1379-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [George Hotel Huntingdon by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Huntingdon-Hotels-George-Hotel-Huntingdon-By-Greene-King-Inns.h2545080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Union Chapel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Union-Chapel-Hotels.0-l553248621533023392-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Boutique Hotels in York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Boutique-Hotel.0-0-d5489-tBoutiqueHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [4 Star Hotels in Llandrindod Wells](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Llandrindod-Wells-Hotels.s40-0-d10088.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [La Veranda Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Larnaca-Hotels-La-Veranda-Hotel.h55185974.Hotel-Information) > > [Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Rainforest-Retreat.h7088168.Hotel-Information) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Brighton and Hove](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-And-Hove-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d6309409-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels Suites in London City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-City-Centre-London-Hotels-Hotel-Suites.0-n6195474-0-thotelsuites.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [Intelier Palacio de San Martín Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madrid-Hotels-Hotel-Intur-Palacio-San-Martin.h804778.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Matissia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Le-MATISSIA.h40272192.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Cardiff (CWL) to Paisley (GLA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cwl/gla/cardiff-to-glasgow) > > [Flights from Krabi (KBV) to Bangkok (BKK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/kbv/bkk/krabi-to-bangkok) ### Cars > [Pickup Car Hire in Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickup-Car-Rentals-In-Los-Angeles-Intl.d5783884-tPickup.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) ### Activities > [Things to do in Panormos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Panormos.d6129459.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Margarita Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margarita.d3000703104.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Şanlıurfa Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sanlurfa.d3133.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Sulawesi Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sulawesi.d6049210.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [National Science and Media Museum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/National-Science-And-Media-Museum-Bradford.d6288827.Attraction) > > [Filipinas Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Filipinas-Beach-Barcelona.d553248635626368019.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Chalon-sur-Saone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chalon-Sur-Saone.dx4768)
