Cape Nelson Retreat was really a retreat for us, a real pleasant break which we were looking forward for.

Comfortable beds
Beautiful house
Lovely hosts
Delicious food
Wonderful place

Felt like our own home and staying with our family. Laima is a lovely host, she gave us company whenever we want and she can cook such delicious food that will keep you in the home and not to go out :)

The house is maintained beautifully, I loved the vintage look and collectibles they have. Never though we could find such a beautiful / royal house in Portland.

Apart from the food and comfort, Trevor was very helpful in guiding us which places to visit and provide us with maps and details, it really helped to plan our trip properly.

The house has a living room with a huge TV and couches, nice place to spent your night after a long drive, we loved the ambience.

Upstairs they have a library and access to internet, we were surprised to know we can get wifi there, even though we had access to internet we preferred to keep our gadgets away and enjoy the stay :)

They have got a pool table; we spent half a day playing pool. They also have 2 very very friendly dogs, dogs are kept away from the house, but if you are a dog lover you are welcome to mingle with them.

Backyard is pretty spacious, again with some vintage collectibles and tables and chairs, if it's not too cold this place would be an excellent choice to have couple of drinks and chat.

Once you get out of the house, in another 300-400 meter away, down the road you can see an excellent spot to take photos, its long green farm with the sea behind. You so many place around the house to take photos too, but more than the photos you will enjoy the serenity and peaceful environment.

In 2 or 3 KM drive you reach Portland city centre, where you can find lot of cafes and other shops like target / Woolworths etc.

If you go to the port area, you might find seals as well; either you go with bait for the seals or wait for the boats with fish to arrive.

To summarize, Cape Nelson Retreat was the best house we've stayed yet, will definitely stay their again whenever we drive via Portland.

Thanks to Laima & Trevor for being such lovely hosts and providing us a pleasant stay, miss you guys.
