We booked this motel through the information center in Balclutha as we wanted to stay on the Peninsula. The unit was spacious and warm and the bed was so comfortable we decided to stay another night. We had been travelling from Invercargill for several days and it was good to relax in such nice surroundings. Sue was extremely welcoming and... More

After a nerve wracking drive along the coast road we were on the point of turning around when we found the Portobello Motel. It was in a perfect position overlooking the water up a hill. The unit was well furnished and contained everything needed for a really comfortable stay and the bed was the most comfortable we had slept in... More

We booked here as we could not get accommodation in Dunedin due to a Harley Davidson convention plus the Uni students were enrolling. We're so glad we did. It has a beautiful view, great units, easy access to Larnach Castle, the penguin colony & the end of the peninsula itself. Keith & Sue are lovely hosts with a great sense... More

We found this Motel on TripAdvisor and it more than met our expectations. We only stayed one night and really regretted not staying an extra night. The view over the harbour was great. The room was really spacious. If we were going back to the peninsula (which we probably are) we will just book a room here and not bother... More

They are very friendly and helpful and can recommend places to visit. The Otago peninsula is ideal for those who want to explore and this is an excellent place to do it from. Beaches are... More

We loved staying here and would have liked to have stayed longer. The in-room facilities are excellent and we had a great view across Portobello Harbour. The only downside is that we had to pay for wifi access and then the signal was not very strong. There is a pub close by but is you are wanting to eat in... More

We spent two nights at this motel in February. The suites were very comfortable -- large and clean with a full kitchenette. The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. Of the many places we stayed during our month in New Zealand, this was probably my favorite.

We stayed three nights in a studio of the portobello Motel at Dunedin, Otago Harbour. Not only were we mad e very welcome, we received excellent advice on trips, the rooms were very clean, staff was superb abd if we did not have had to travel on we would have stayed longer. Well done, thank you!!!

Owners Keith and Sue Rhones take pride in their motel and it shows... Make reservations, they sell out and I can see why... We would perfer to stay there... More
