Older property but safe, secluded with a beautiful view of Portage Bay and mountains. Rooms have a patio, but no televisions or clocks. Shower floor was slippery. One dining room and separate lounge area with fireplace. Because of major storm damage a few years ago, we were not able to drive to property, instead we needed to take a water taxi from Picton.

Amazing views, reception staff were very friendly and helpful, we enjoyed lovely fish & chips but were asked to leave due to number of guests wasn’t an issue for us, our luggage was left down at jetty but was quickly resolved, beds were so comfy with mattress topper after two days of biking

I had such a lovely stay here. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The place was ideally placed in Marlborough sound. Easyish to get to with a pick-up service from the hotel to the quay. Great kayaking and hiking from the hotel doorstep.

If you're hiking the Queen Charlotte track, the only other option after a very long Day 3 is a backpacker hostel. The Portage has its issues but it's the better option and is fine for one night. The setting is gorgeous, like pretty much everything on the QC. The restaurant and bar, both in the main building, overlook a beautiful bay and the views are stunning. There's a terrace off the bar which is a great place to have a cold beer or glass of wine. The restaurant's pretty good and even has some decent vegetarian options. The staff were all very friendly. A big plus was the guest laundry. We were able to wash our stinky trail clothes for $4 NZD. Our room, however, was pretty disappointing. We stayed in one of the "budget friendly" Weka rooms. It was pretty bare bones, like a Motel 6 with much nicer towels and a comfy bed but without AC or a TV. There was a really grotty, stained old arm chair in one corner and the bathroom was functional but weird. There were lots of dead bugs around. Overall, it's overpriced for what it is but for one night on the trail with cold beer, a shower and a comfy bed, it delivers.

The staff at the Portage was very pleasant to interact both at the front desk as well as in the restaurant. I stayed in two different type rooms. The Korimako Sunroom (#20) had a beuatiful view of the bay. As stated on the site, this type of room does not have a deck but the view was beautiful. I appreciated that the room had two twin beds and a full bed for our group of 3 adults. The other room type we stayed in was the Kormiako Room (#41 & #42). These rooms have a nice deck to sit out on and enjoy a beautiful day but unfortunately the trees & greenery have grown up and block and view you might have while sitting on the deck. One of our two rooms also did not have a refrigerator in the room. We enjoyed our fish & chips at the restaurant on site.

Unfortunately not only did we find out there was only boat access less than 24hours of making the booking. The non refundable room couldn't supply a roll away bed for our child. Also the room was dirty. Dusty and mould on the curtains. There wasn't enough towels or toiletries. There wasn't even a bread knife to make a sandwich. The cafe is not a cafe. Coffee and stale muffins. Which we weren't offered a plate, napkin or spoon for coffees. Everything was just underwhelming. If you didn't know the place, which we didn't you had no idea where you could explore or even walk. All in all not what we anticipated for two days.

Expedia lists your property as 6.5 km from Picton, which maybe true by helicopter but not by car. Also, I received a message about the road after I got there. Access issues should be listed upfront. Nice place to visit but it was a rough drive.

Seclusion was excellent. The road to the property however has been closed and we were not informed about this at the time of booking through Wotif, or at any time afterwards. Cars have to be left at Picton.
