We thought the aspect of no television in the room was great, as you are going to an awesome place in NZ why would you sit in your room and watch TV. It is competing with the birdsong

Expensive treat at retreat...
Very expensive accommodation for the facilities provided. $300 a night for a basic open plan one bedroom unit. No discount offered once we were advised by reception our tv wasn't going due to an 'upgrade'. Road was a nightmare. Meal was lovely. Staff were friendly. View was beautiful...

Outstanding View
Pros:The view.
Cons:A much needed revamp & modernization, some staff could do with a little refresher course on how to greet people.
All I heard when we told people where we were staying they would say, Oh wow. When we get to reception we were greeted by a chap who didn't even introduce himself & I got the feeling he was there under sufferance, he was just doing his job..
We get to the room & enter to find the room clean & tidy. The Bedhead looked very second hand, well used. A bit Tattered.
I went to put some drinks in the fridge to find it had been turned off & as I discovered it was hard wired into the room I then had to find the switch to turn it on. This was completely hidden by the flat screen TV.
We booked for Dinner in the restaurant & when we arrived we were seated & given a Menu, way over priced & a poor selection of meals, the waitress how ever was a delightful girl, friendly & helpful
Nothing about the hotel really struck me as being marvelous, it's reputation was living in the past when it might of been outstanding in it's prime. I feel it was over priced & over rated & as I spoke to some locals about the Portage they fully understood what I was saying. .
