Cosy and Convenient

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Centrally located to the Main Street and both front and back beach, The Porthole is a cosy and convenient stay. Featuring 1x queen bed, 1x double bed and 2x sets of bunks, we comfortably managed to sleep 4x adults and 2x kids. The Porthole was clean and tidy and we’d definitely stay again. Great communication from the host too. Thank you!

Very convenient with only a short walk to main street, kiosk, shops, pub, beach and Foreshore caravan park where friends were staying. Clean and comfortable with good amenities. Beds were particularly comfortable. Dining space was small to share with 3 x adult kids; we made it work for a short getaway. Recommended as a great base to explore YP.

Good location close to the beach and shops. A little squishy for 2 adults and 4 kids, but otherwise the amenities were great.

Great little house tucked away on seconds from the beach.

Great little house tucked away on seconds from the beach. Close to all shops and both beach's great for small family. Really enjoyed Port Vincent. Only down side no pets. Wish we could have had our little labradoodle along for the trip. I give it ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Pretty much perfect Porthole.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 week stay at the Porthole, it comes well equipped, it has a clean and functioning kitchen, with dishwasher, microwave and oven. If you are looking for somewhere quite, relaxing and decent, this is the place. Highly recommended.

Lovely property with great facilities. Everything you need is there and the kids loved the bunk beds! Slight issue with ants but other than that The Porthole was a delight to stay in.
