I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to stay at Portofino. To be able to enjoy such a huge apartment (with a small yard) situated right on the beach (not in a high rise above but actually on) was amazing. Sand, surf, endless horizon, abundant bird life, glorious sunrises, a drink on the deck as the light fades at the end of the day, listening to the surf as you go to sleep, being amazed at the stars at night; what is not to love?
The apartment itself is huge, clean, well appointed (hot, hot water and wonderful water pressure to go with it) and positioned only 1 street back from cafés, bars, restaurants and shops while Lennox Head itself is still small enough and unassuming enough to almost be considered a village. It was thriving and bustling but not touristy insane.
This was truly one of the best getaways I have had.
