• Darryl (8/5): Very convenient 👍 - Close to the bowls club. Need a sofa.
• Donna (9/5): Little Gem. - Lovely clean, well-appointed room and bathroom. Central location and easy to find. Fridge and shelves were stocked with fruit and breakfast items, all needs catered for. Included were spare lightweight blankets, ironing board and iron. Beautiful well maintained garden and parking spot. Bed was just a tad too firm, milk was out of date.
• Courtney (10/5): -
• Karl (10/5): A most comfortable and relaxing stay. Recommended. - Immaculately clean and modern space. Lovely comfortable big bed. Great communication. Great shower/bathroom. Great wifi. Breakfast ingredients left for us (cereal, fruit, bread/toast, marmalade and jams) which was plentiful and super.

• Susan (9/5): - Lovely and clean and very well appointed. Really comfy bed and yummy breakfast. Awesome spot to stay.
• Matthias (10/5): - Sauber, geräumig und komfortabel —
• Karl-Heinz (9/5): Ein toller Aufenthalt. Einfach zu empfehlen!! - Absolut freundliche und herzliche Besitzerin, ohne, dass es irgendwie aufgesetzt wirkte. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und die Einrichtung recht neu. Größe d. Zimmers für 1 oder 2 Nächte voll ausreichend. Tolles Bad mit schöner begehbarer Dusche. Wirklich top! Das Bett war bequem und die Nacht sehr ruhig und erholsam. Fenster konnten mit zweifach Jalousiensystem super verdunkelt werden. Abgesehen von den üblichen Frühstücksutensilien im Kühlschrank (Toast, Butter, Marmelade, Saft, Milch), gab es verschiedenes Müsli in Einmalportionen, Äpfel und Bananen. Preis und Leistung passten hier einfach!! Nichts!
• Adina (8/5): Great facilities in a small space. - Good location, parking onsite, wifi and Netflix provided, and very clean. Nice selection of breakfast options provided. Short walk to the water front. Room is attached to the family home with front doors side by side.
• Lynne (10/5): Relaxing , generous hosts and very comfortable. - Attention to detail and extremely generous breakfast provisions. Location was perfect and we were comfortable at all times.
• Aubrey (10/5): REALLY HAD A GREAT STAY AND HOPE WE CAN COME AGAIN - WE ENJOYED OUR BREAKFAST COULDNOT FIND A TEATOWEL

• Peter (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay at Whale Escape, Portland is a great place to visit. - Everything
• Barbara (10/5): - Perfect for what we wanted Nothing
• Peter (9/5): -
• Jonathan (9/5): - Host really friendly and helpful. Unit modern and comfortable. Light breakfast appreciated.
• Marianne (10/5): Amazing!!! - Modern, clean, close to the beach. The host went the extra mile to help me from and to bus stop as I wasn’t able to rent a car. Also let me do a late checkout due to the weather. Super caring. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting Portland
• Ceili (10/5): -
• Coldbeck (8/5): Would stay again maybe only good for a couple of days. - Very Good, maybe a tub of Yogurt would be nice. All up to expectation
• PETER (9/5): very good love the room ect - Great place
• Rebecca (9/5): Great location since it is central. Host very accommodating and friendly. - The location of the unit is very close to the main street and shops, though far enough away not to be noisy and the host had the heater on in the unit so it felt really warm and cozy after a long drive on a cold, wet day. She also was very accommodating when i asked if I could check in after 6pm and she made arrangements so i could access the property. I would definitely recommend this accommodation for a business trip and will return next time I am in town for work. The unit was spotless and had fresh fruit, cereal, milk and toast for a light breakfast when i woke up early the next day. Thanks Nicky Instant coffee. An espresso coffee pod machine would be a great inclusion but otherwise it was ideal for my overnight business trip
• Jennifer (8/5): Great place to break the journey at well appointed property - Modern and fresh, well laid out, good quality furnishings
• Ken (9/5): Very high standard, not to be missed. - A lot of thought has gone into the fit out and quality of the premises. Also the little extras was welcoming. The supplied breakfast selection would please the fussiest of people. The desk desperately needs a power point. We found the floor of the shower felt slippery and with the huge size it was a concern that we could have had a fall. In our opinion a grab handle or two would be a welcome addition along with a wooden grate or mat to stand on.
• Debbie (10/5): Gem of a place - Everything about this place was perfect, and it oozed quality. We received a warm welcome from our host and the breakfast items left for us were an unexpected yet welcome treat. Thought has been put into everything included from the bed, the pillows, the towels, the toiletries. The shower was incredible ! We'd definitely stay again and would highly recommend... a little gem of a place
• Tbahr (9/5): -
• Jenny (10/5): My stay was very calming and relaxing due to the feel of the room, it was welcoming - From the moment I drove into the driveway to the time I opened the door I was most impressed! Absolutely nothing, it was perfect!
• Robert (9/5): This was a great place to stay and would happily stay here any time we visit Portland. - The unit was easy to find not far from the main street. The breakfast was comprehensive and really appreciated as were the facilities, comfort and cleanliness. Portland's water supply was disgusting and we couldn't drink it or make a cup of tea, but this was not the fault of our hosts but should be passed on to the council and water providers. At the function we attended, this seemed to be a common complaint from visitors to Portland.
• Bowen (8/5): - Ok Nothing
• Debbie (10/5): - Great room. Hosts were helpful. Fresh milk and fruit appreciated Absolutely nothing
• Graham (8/5): Quite good with some suggestions. - Easy to find. Great bed and shower. Some breakfast included. Plenty of power points. Facilities were good. Near to main shopping street. Private. Aldi, Coles and Woolworths all within three blocks. Multiple eateries nearby. Quite clean. Private entrance. Had a microwave even though not listed. Bathroom and shower floor were very slippery when wet, which may be due to floor cleaning chemicals and was a lot better on the second accommodation day. Batteries in TV remote turned TV on, but not enough to turn it off. Room was very dark at night and may be useful to have a 1 Watt LED night-light. Breakfast selection was OK for one morning, however lacked quantity for two mornings. Bathroom shower alcove allowed water to spray onto bathroom floor easily, so bath mat needed careful positioning to not become soaked. Pictures of property showed one photo with a microwave and one very similar without, which was frustrating re planning for food prior to arrival as the advertisement stated no microwave listed.
• Schneider (10/5): - Beautifully presented room with spacious ensuite. Bed was extremely comfortable. Good quality bedding, everything immaculate. A good selection of breakfast provisions. Very quiet and private. Car spot right outside the door. Lovely host and great communication. Heater was put on in advance which was so nice. There was nothing I didn't like.
• Roderick (7/5): A knock on the door & some conversation would have enhanced our visit. - Continental breakfast supplied. No interaction at all with the owners.
• Sarah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vera (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ark (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tom (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional -
• John (9/5): Nice relaxing stay - Nicola had everything prepared and greeted us. The room is quite spacious as is the bathroom. Very modern. Comfortable bed. Despite being on a corner it was nice and quiet. The remote on the TV is awkward to use. Some further instruction would cut down on the frustration level and time taken to learn it's idiosyncracys.
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional -
• Debbie (10/5): We enjoyed staying there very much.. - The breakfast was amazing, a great variety, fresh fruit was great...the place was spotless, bed was soo comfy, the shower was wonderful, we would definitely stay here again.. Nothing to say here..

• Paul (10/5): Exceptional! - The accommodation at WhaleEscape Portland is exceptional, as are the hosts Nicky and Ian. Lovely people. Very clean which I am very particular on when staying away, very comfortable king size bed, ensuite and kitchen amenities in the room are also excellent, as is the off street parking. Quiet even though you are only one block from the main street for food and two blocks from the water. We would highly recommend WhaleEscape and will be back when we race at Portland again. See you soon! :) Nothing at all.
