There's a commerative plaque recording the happy unveiling of (I think) a renovation of Portage exactly 10 years to the day of our visit (which went uncelebrated). The lack of celebration might be explained, as were our feelings of the place, by the statement on the bill that Portage is in administration/liquidation. Our room which claimed to have a view...

Like many we arrived after the longest part of the Queen Charlotte Track walk and had a rest day staying two nights. A swim in the pool and a drink on our private balcony overlooking the Sound were very welcome. Our balcony room (No.23) was bright and fresh with probably one of the best views of the Sound. We had... More

Our family wedding was in December at Portage - what a wonderful occasion it was! We cannot speak highly enough of Kaye and the staff - they were endlessly helpful and courteous and helped make the day the success it was. And the food was superb! Thank you. More

We arrived at The Portage after a long day's walk on The Queen Charlotte Track. The hotel was very welcoming with jugs of chilled water at the ready for tired walkers as they arrived. Reception was friendly and efficient. Our room was a duplex and had 2 sun decks giving amazing views over The Sound. It was more than spacious... More

It was lacking in something and I'm still not sure what. The room was quite dark and smelt musty. The shower was ok but if you don't tuck the shower curtain in exactly, you end up flooding the bathroom and there is no drain in the floor. It seemed a bit run down. The poxy little heater was not warm... More

We stayed there in Dec 2011 for 2 nights and we were disappointed by what we got for this money. View from the room was good but it was supposed to be for 4 people and there were only 2 chairs available. The restaurant was the real disappointment because the menu looked quite promising with fancy names and stuff but... More

I knew this place was to be something when I hiked into reception and was offered a glass of iced water! I was part of a group of 18 hikers and were were unvirsally impressed by the food, sevice and staff. The resort has stunning sunset views and it's an easy stroll to the beach for a dive into the...
