About this property

Portofino @ Lennox Head

Please contact us if your dates are not available.

Enjoy this amazing location right on the water! If you are looking for a relaxing time away, I would encourage you to book this apartment. This is a rare gem located so close to the beach, only metres to the sand and you are in the water. The apartment is spacious and it is also within walking distance to the local shops with all the amazing restaurants. Dine in or out with a great Bbq area, you can sit in the garden, swim in the ocean, walk up to the Lennox Headland or just sleep in and listen to the ocean.

Come and enjoy this iconic Lennox Head home, loved by so many.

Feeling energetic? This property is the perfect starting point for the spectacular Lennox Point Walk. A walk that takes in one of the most famous surf spots in the world. You can walk right to the top of Lennox Point, or keep walking and make it over to Boulder Beach. If a coffee and muffin is more your style, then a short stroll will bring you to the heart of Lennox Head, you'll find a wonderful selection of cafes, bars and retail outlets. Or a stroll along the beachfront will take you to Lake Ainsworth where you'll discover a natural tea tree lake experience.

We look forward to seeing you very soon!

Portofino is in a perfect location on the beach and near to shops and restaurants. It was just as advertised. The beds were comfortable and the view from the porch or living room was fantastic. Having the garage was a plus.

Portofino Heaven

I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to stay at Portofino. To be able to enjoy such a huge apartment (with a small yard) situated right on the beach (not in a high rise above but actually on) was amazing. Sand, surf, endless horizon, abundant bird life, glorious sunrises, a drink on the deck as the light fades at the end of the day, listening to the surf as you go to sleep, being amazed at the stars at night; what is not to love? The apartment itself is huge, clean, well appointed (hot, hot water and wonderful water pressure to go with it) and positioned only 1 street back from cafés, bars, restaurants and shops while Lennox Head itself is still small enough and unassuming enough to almost be considered a village. It was thriving and bustling but not touristy insane. This was truly one of the best getaways I have had.

Great location... but

Grateful the weather was good to us. Unbelievable spot - absolutely magic seeing dolphins & whales and 2 minutes walk to the shops and the park - location wanted for nothing. The apartment left a little to be desired. Dead cockroaches, spiders & bugs in drawers including the kitchen - our goal was to stay in and cook - but had to wash chopping boards, baking dishes etc before use, the oven was grotty... and is it just me?... but when you pay this much for a property - you'd think they'd supply toilet paper and cleaning products and maybe two bags for the kitchen bin... For a 3 night stay bringing that with us or having to purchase it... just leaves a nasty taste in my mouth... just sayin.

Hi Jo, Thank you for your feedback. We do let you know during the booking process and again before you arrive that there may not be enough supplies for your entire stay - however we try to ensure you have everything required for your first night/morning - including 1 toilet paper roll and one spare for each of the 2 bathrooms. Our properties are sprayed every 12 months and you arrived a week after a spray, the cleaner did go and clean again the day before your arrival, a couple of insects may have died off between then.

Portofino

Portofino is very well located right on the beach and a 2 minute walk to the Main Street for cafes, restaurants and shops. The house has gorgeous views anda relaxed feel about it. However, basic maintenance and thorough cleaning necessitated by the proximity of the house to the beach and salt air has been overlooked. There was an accumulation of rust, vertigris and a white substance in the main bedroom and laundry.
