Perfect place for a family getaway, or in our case a family wedding.

The property is very well equipped for a family to spend time here. We will certainly return to this exceptionally well positioned home, with the beach literally at your back door.

Amazing Location

The most amazing location with the beach at the end of the backyard and so close to the shops and restaurants...maybe too convenient for the ice cream shop! Lennox is a great town and the property would make for an enjoyable getaway.

Portofino is wonderful

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.

A little piece of heaven

The most spectacular place with views to die for. A short walk to the local shops, endless beaches to walk and a beautiful walk to Lennox Head. It has everything you need to entertain a large group. Will definitely be back. Just wish we could have brought our dog.

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.
