Portsea Hotel - Portsea (VIC)

5 /5 Amanda Goddard: Myself, my elderly parents (aged 87 & 91 years) arrived for a 2 night stay for my daughter’s Wedding 21.03.2025. I had arranged for an early check in, which was no problem at all. The staff were so friendly, helpful and wonderful. They carried my parent’s bags up to our beautiful suite (2 bedrooms, lounge, balcony with lovely views.). I cannot rate the staff higher. The Wedding was a truly stunning and very beautiful event, with so much ‘behind the scene’ work. The private room for the canapés & drinks was lovely, as was the upstairs reception location. The following day we had a private roped off area on the deck for the ‘after wedding luncheon, complete with all the flowers from the previous day. At check out on Sunday, my mother was again assisted with her bags ( without having to ask!). Honestly, the whole experience of staying at the Portsea Hotel was truly wonderful. Thank you, Amanda Goddard

4 /5 Essie Lynch: A beautiful location and a delicious lunch. Highly recommend the pizzas. Service was great and quick given how busy it was. We were lucky enough to get a table right on the waterfront. Stunning view. Unfortunately a large group of people smoking sat directly in front of the dining area. The smoke was blowing right through the dining area where families were eating. I asked the staff where exactly the smoking area is and I was advised it was down on the grass. Not an ideal spot given the ocean breeze, blows all the cigarette smoke onto everyone.

2 /5 Tom: Went there for lunch today with my family. Hugely disappointing. The service was impeccable and I couldn’t say a bad word the girls were all lovely and very good at their jobs. The food however was a massive let down. We ordered a bunch of starters that were just bland/chewy/average and the mains were no different. The food was cold and very disappointing. The 200g eye fillet steak left a lot to be desired too. It’s a shame. I brought my family here as I had such fond memories from 10 years ago with mates. The venue itself is incredible it’s just such a shame how terrible the food is. 3.9 on google makes perfect sense I wish I’d seen this before visiting.

5 /5 Mandie L.: Came here for their food. Such a beautiful restaurant with stunning views and a great atmosphere! The pizzas are fantastic — light crust and high-quality toppings. The fish burger was okay, not the highlight. Overall, very happy with the experience and would definitely come back! :-)

5 /5 Sushil Nayzel (Feature Weddings): As a wedding photographer, I always love working at Portsea Hotel! The staff here are absolute legends — super welcoming, professional, and always go the extra mile to make sure everything runs smoothly. The vibe and the hospitality? Next level. The environment is stunning, the atmosphere is electric, and every time I shoot here, it’s an unforgettable experience. Can’t wait to be back capturing more love stories at this incredible venue soon! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a picture-perfect wedding location or intimate event.
