The location of this property is perfect, in such close vicinity to the beach, shops, food, park, skatepark and surf club. The apartment itself, number 30, was amazingly set up. They had board games, kids toys, beach toys, picnic rug & umbrella, a cart to take your stuff to the beach. The cupboards were full of everything you needed down to ice cube trays full. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you.

We loved how clean the rooms where. We had a 2 bedroom unit, close to the pool which the kids loved. So many options to choose from for dinners/lunches/coffee right outside. IGA store next door, beach and skatepark over the road. Safe locked up guest parking. Loved it here, will definitely stay again at Portobello.

Quite comfortable. Dislike: Although there's a lift there are still a number of stairs to negotiate to come and go and with bad knees it made it a little bit of an issue.

The property itself is outdated, which is okay. However the room we were in was not clean nor the stairwells around the apartment. Dust coming off the walls, bugs on the floor just to name a few.
