Portland Retro Motel

Overview

Portland Retro Motel sits in a peaceful pocket of town, just a stone's throw from the cable tram stop, local beaches, and some of the best whale watching spots around. It's the kind of place where koalas and wallabies might wander through the grounds, adding a bit of local charm to your stay.

With 14 simple yet comfortable rooms, the motel is well suited for travellers looking for a quiet base near Portland's main attractions. Hosts Peter and Tina Moody are known for their warm welcome and keep things relaxed, making it easy to settle in after a day exploring the harbour, spotting dolphins, or enjoying a walk along the bay.
