About this property

Le Petit Palais du Port is a charming cottage in the heart of the small bayside town of Portarlington along the Bellarine Peninsula. It is set in a pretty private courtyard within the lovely garden of the neighbouring house. The studio has a QS bed and stylish ensuite behind a Shoji screen sliding door. The kitchenette is well-equipped with a decent sized fridge (for bottles of local wine, cheeses, mussels, oysters, smoked salmon and more), Nespresso coffee machine, microwave, electric wok and Weber BBQ in the courtyard. There is a reverse cycle air-con for heating & cooling. There is free wi-fi. The lounge area has a smart TV with Netflix and retro Grant Featherstone 60’s lounge chairs… plus a piano for the musically inclined. Upon your stay, you will be greeted with a chilled bottle of Terindah sparkling wine, and chilled champagne glasses, in the fridge. You can even select between the Terindah Estate Methode Traditionnelle or Sparkling Pinot Noir. If you prefer still wine, there is also a choice of a Terindah Pinot Noir, Rose, Chardonnay or Pinot Gris. Plus, gourmet chocolates from Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie.

Lovely beach escape

This petite palais was the prefect getaway for two. In such a compact space we had everything we needed including a very comfortable bed and an excellent shower. Even though this accommodation is on the host’s property, it was secluded and private and we felt very relaxed. Welcome wine and chocolate was also a lovely touch and communication was excellent.
