This is a fantastic find, and exactly what we were after for a weekend away for 6 friends. The location is exceptional, the house is perfectly basic and exactly what a beach house should be. With only a 5 minute walk into town, and extraordinary views from the deck.
Not for the culinary inclined - the kitchen is well equipped, but very basic. There are no essentials - no salt, pepper, oil, tea, coffee, minimal toilet paper - so be prepared to fully stock-up upon arrival if you do wish to cook at home.
However, the positives to staying outweigh the negatives by far. And I would certainly return for another excellent weekend in Portarlington.
And for those looking to go down, do yourselves a favour and spend an afternoon at Bennetts winery, and an evening at the local pub. The chicken schnitzel was one of the best I’ve had.
And all very accessible from this centrally located house.
