Top Whale Viewing Platform Hotel Reviews

Portland Tourist Park

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely fantastic accommodation! The property is beautiful, modern and very clean, with two spacious bedrooms and excellent facilities. Everything was new, comfortable and well equipped, and the whole place was spotlessly clean. This was the best accommodation we stayed at during our entire trip. We really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone. We would definitely choose to stay here again next time!"

Quest Portland

8/10 Good

"The motel was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The staff were friendly and the location was convenient. Overall, it was a decent place to stay, but considering the price we paid, I expected a little more. There wasn’t anything particularly wrong with the motel, but I don’t feel the standard quite matched the price. At a lower rate, I’d have no hesitation recommending it, but for the price, I think there are better-value options available."
