I have been meaning to write this review for so long. A friends and I went and stayed at Portside in December 07 and loved it! The managers we found were fantastic. So friendly and could not do enough for us. They gave it a really friendly/homely feel. The place I think a perfect location. No steep walk up the... more

We spent 5 nights in the Portside apartments in January 2008. On the whole we were very happy with our stay. The apartments were beautiful, modern and spotlessly clean. The reception and checking was relaxed and friendly and once checked in we were very much left to our own devices which suited us. We booked a two bed apartment with... more

We stayed in a 2 bedroom sea-view apartment in Oct 2007 for 10 nights. With new managers having just taken over, our check-in was met with confusion and flurry. We were then met with the "hike" (yes it is quite a hike) to our apartment up the steep driveway and through the car park. Our only saving grace was that... more

The manager and his wife could not have been more helpful and we found the accomodation clean, well presented annd equiped. Whilst not being luxury accomodation there was nothing which... more

We stayed at Portside recently. Whilst the apartments are easy on the eye and comfortable, the noise from the marina being built opposite, plus traffic noise from Shute Harbour Road, was most unpleasant. Compared to other accommodation we have stayed in, we found Portside most disappointing. The air conditioning did not work for the five days we were there. The... more

I booked the 2 bedroom apartment with rooptop jacuzzi for my family of 5 (including grandma), and the advertisement on the hotel website described it perfectly. We had a lovely 6 nights enjoying comfort, cleanliness and great personal service. The place is ideal for families as it is spacious and well stocked. It is literally only a few metres walk... more

Our apartment was well equiped and spotlessly clean. It really had a wonderful... more
