Portarlington Grand Hotel
Established in 1888, this charming seaside hotel is the Bellarine Peninsula’s heritage jewel. The century-old facade houses a spectacular modern refurbishment, paying homage to the hotel’s history as a seaman’s reprieve, while offering the highest standard of luxury.
Portarlington is a region famous for its seafood and award-winning wine – don’t miss out on sampling the renowned produce onsite. The Atrium, a neighbourhood pub frequented by locals, serves fresh favourites like locally caught fish of the day. The Bistro takes it up a notch with signature Portarlington mussels, and local Bellarine distillers, breweries and wineries champion a thoughtful drinks menu at the Front Bar.
Just over an hour’s ferry ride from Melbourne, Portarlington Grand Hotel couldn’t be better poised for exploring the peninsula. With return transfers to local wineries included in your stay, graze with a degustation board at Bennets Winery, sample award-winning drops at Jack Rabbit or soak up panoramic vineyard views at Terindah Estate (additional charges apply).
Longer Stay Bonus: Heighten the indulgence when you stay 3+ nights with a A$100 dining credit per package.
Portarlington Grand Hotel is ideally situated in the tranquil seaside town of Portarlington, Victoria, a stone’s throw from the local pier and the charming Portarlington Golf Club. A historic coastal township located on the Bellarine Peninsula, this hotel is a 30-minute drive from Geelong and a two-hour drive from Melbourne’s bustling CBD.
The hotel is located approximately a 90-minute drive from Melbourne Airport (MEL) and one-hour from Avalon Airport (AVV). Airport transfers are not included in your package, please plan accordingly.
