About this property

WE'VE FOUND PARADISE - A COMPLETE PACKAGE

As keepers of 'Portage Paradise' we are offering to share this piece of paradise with you.
The three level Mediterranean style complex provides extraordinary views, facilities repeatedly referred to as ‘Paradise’.
This self-catering, Portage Bay property offers vast 270 degree elevated views of the Kenepuru Sound, the Portage and Waitaria Bays.
A spacious 130 square meter living area situated on the middle level provides the ultimate platform for relaxation and entertainment. Supported by the upper level providing a master bedroom and a second double room, both with ensuites, add to this the large entertainment area attached to the double garage which include a spa, sauna, weights, boxing bag and massage chair. On the third level down stairs are two double rooms, and one open plan lounge room with a double and King bed, one bedroom with ensuite and the others with a shared bathroom facility.
Throughout the property there is a large collection of reading material, board games, music CDs, DVDs and a TV in most rooms, along with a pool table and darts board.
The open plan living, kitchen, and dining, together with mobile phone coverage and Wi-Fi , we know will meet the needs of our guests.
To the west, the 140 square meter deck with covered pool looks directly into the delightful ‘Take-in bay’. A quiet secluded beach with good walking access. To the east a tiled BBQ area looks straight into the Portage bay marina and hotel complex.

With full road access (currently restricted due to our Aug 2023 Floods) the Portage bay offers a public boat ramp for launching, a water taxi service from Torea Bay to Picton. Walk or mountain bike the amazing Queen Charlotte Track. Or simply relax with a fishing rod in hand and enjoy the many water activities .
It is only a short walk down to the Portage Resort Hotel for dining in the restaurant, or enjoy a coffee or cold beverage at the Café Bar.

‘Portage Paradise’ really is relaxation in a complete package.

Portage Paradise was indeed “Paradise”
The four of us who stayed in this property for a week in March 2024 agree that it is everything advertised and more. Property manager Paula was in constant contact with us from the booking until the day we left, and provided excellent support both before and during our stay. She told us early on that once we arrived, we would not want to leave, and she was right! Since the road to the property is still closed to all but local residents, we took the delightful 15-minute ferry from Picton to Torea Bay and back, and used the provided vehicle for transportation from the dock to the property and during our stay. Pictures of the views from this property simply don’t do it justice… you have to see it for yourselves. What a fabulous week!

Fabulous house and location
Our 3 generation family of 14 had a birthday celebration there and the house provided everything we had hoped for . Its location with a pool, and close access to the beach was a plus for all ages. The house was clean , fully equipped to an excellent standard , and Paula our host of the property was fantastically attentive to our needs before and during our stay. Well done Paula , we will be back!

Why they chose this property

We looked around many properties in the Marlborough area and we kept coming back to the Kenepuru to have the second and third view! It has location, isolation, views, peacefulness and relaxation. We think it is well worth the drive, fresh fish, sea water, the panoramic views of the landscape are forever changing, and the best of all is the hub of the community, quite inviting really!

What makes this property unique

This property's unique 270 degree views, with open plan living and its many amenities, Spa, Sauna, Entertainment area , Massage chair, Pool table, Swimming pool, Mountain bike, fishing rods and with a rod in hand make this truly a unique rental.
