The Portage Resort, Portage

The hotel boasts a beautiful location by the water, but that’s where the positives seem to end. The rooms were worn and poorly equipped, leaving us disappointed after a long day of walking. Service was lacking, and the dining options were far from impressive, especially during the New Year’s Eve stay. Despite the lovely surroundings, the overall experience left us eager to check out as soon as possible.

I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel, especially considering we were hiking the Queen Charlotte Track. The location offered stunning views of the Marlborough Sounds, which was a highlight for me. The staff were accommodating and ensured we had what we needed, though the layout of the accommodations and the dining experience left some room for improvement. I appreciated the cleanliness and comfort of the room, but I found the value for the meals lacking, particularly the walker’s lunches.

My experience at Portage Hotel was a mixed bag. I enjoyed the spacious room with lovely views, but I was disappointed with the lack of facilities and the high prices for dining. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but the property could use some improvements to truly meet expectations.

My stay at The Portage was quite the experience. The views from the room were absolutely stunning, making for a perfect backdrop to unwind after a busy trip. However, the dining and service could use significant improvement, which was disappointing given the price. While the pool area is nice, it did have some cleanliness issues, which detracted from the overall resort feel. It has great potential but needs some tweaks to enhance the guest experience.

I had a relaxing stay with a fantastic view, but there were several shortcomings. While the staff were lovely and the ambiance was welcoming, the rooms and facilities need some serious upgrades. The dining experience was lacking, which detracted from our overall enjoyment.
