If you could give 6 stars out of 5, we would. Merry and Anton’s beach house is all that and a bit more. Sublime isolated location, breathtaking views, cosy as can be ( we were there in winter) and beautifully renovated while maintaining that casual beach house feel. Walks along the coastal paths and down to the deserted beaches are a delight, as is sitting around the combustion heater watching the surf and occasional wild storms. Portland is a great town without the pretentiousness of some of the towns closer to Melbourne. Located almost equidistant from Adelaide and Melbourne , it was an obvious choice for our group coming from both cities. Merry was an absolutely superb host - responsive, kind, great communication - available when needed and unobtrusive when not. One of the very best air Bnb experiences we’ve had ( and between us, we’ve had a LOT). Put this place in your future travel plans - you won’t regret it.
