Formed one highlight of walking the Queen Charlottes Trail. Very isolated, charmingly rustic, beautiful views, relaxing outside hot tub.

The accommodation was excellent, comfortable and homely. We had a very brief stay as we had an early start. Margaret and Bill provided an excellent packed breakfast for us.

The location of Sea View is stunning. We were travelling 2 up on a motorbike and although the road out of Picton is not for the faint-hearted, it was well worth the twists and turns to arrive at such beautiful accommodation. Our welcome was just perfect, absolutely nothing was too much trouble for our hosts, including at very short notice organising some evening food for us. Sitting out on your own little terrace for dinner and breakfast was something very very special.
Moana View is a bed and breakfast located in the Waikawa Bay district of Picton. The property features sea and mountain views.

Thanks for a perfect stay. We enjoyed your warm hospitality, comfy bed and delicious breakfast. Our visit was quite fleeting so we didn't use the kitchen facilities but observed that the area was workable and spotlessly clean.

The Portage was a lovely place to stay, the views were amazing and the staff extremely helpful. We were dissapointed about only 1 restaurant being open, and therefore not a large selection to choose from. We would recommend asking in advance, if they can make up a sharing platter, as this is not on the menu, and when we asked, they mentioned we should have ordered in advance. The beautiful view from the deck totally lends itself to drinking and grazing on a delicious platter. The kids loved the kayaks and paddle boards. We would recommend booking a transfer and taking a picnic to a secluded beach - we had a wonderful time.

Portage is a fantastic location, with stunning scenery, not too far off the Queen Charlotte Track, also accessible by car for the non-walkers.
Restaurant meals at the resort were disappointing, with not many options and inflated prices.
Plenty of accommodation options, from camping at Cowshed Bay to staying in the resort. We found a cosy B&B just up the road which suited us perfectly.
The hotel is under new management and I could not fault it. The staff were welcoming, attentive and super friendly. The reception and restaurant area looked newly renovated and was modern and fresh. My meal in the restaurant was very tasty. The bed was incredibly comfortable and I slept well. And the General Manager very kindly dropped me back to the start of the QC track in the morning. Plus the sunset view from the bar is breathtaking. Don’t be put off By the bad reviews - the new management seem to be doing a fantastic job!
We stayed at Portage for a night while walking the Queen Charlotte track. We got upgraded to the Tui room, which had a lovely view of the sound. The bed was very comfy and the room had everything you need for a night stay. We had dinner at the restaurant, which was great and the staff were friendly. We got a lift to the beginning of the track, which saved 700m of uphill walk on the road.
The Portage was a wonderful place to stay. The staff were fantastic, and the view was amazing, and the beds were really comfortable. The pool was wonderful, and the paddle boards and kayaks kept the kids entertained
