Amazing place to stay. Ralph and Cynthia's house sits atop a ridge high up in Portage, giving you incredible almost 360 degree view of the sounds. Location is 20 min walk to Queen Charlotte track by Torea Bay, and only 30 min drive to Punga Cove for a day trip there.
Very clean and modern bedroom/kitchen/bathroom. Kitchen area is a bit cramped for any large meal preparation, and there is a plug in induction single hot plate, but otherwise it does the job. Big fridge /freezer. Huge deck to enjoy the daytime sun. Spa/jacuzzi is perfect after long day of walking, and also has great views. The sun sets just around the corner in front of the main house, and the BBQ is in front of the main house but Ralph happy for us to use BBQ. Ralph and Cynthia very friendly and helpful RE local suggestions, and extra finishing touches like fresh milk and orange juice in the fridge on arrival! - thank you! House is 2 minute walk down to The Gap which has a couple of nice small pebble beaches. If you want a relaxing weekend in the sounds, with amazing views and easy access to Queen Charlotte track then 100% recommend. Ralph and Cynthia great hosts and very prompt communication.
