We had a wonderful stay. The cottage has a beautiful ambience with an outdoor decking for al fresco dining immersed in a lovely garden setting. Comfortable lounge suite in open plan living area. Master bedroom was very comfortable. I loved the walk on the shared walking/bike trail along the beach frontage to Portarlington. Lovely vistas. Great for cycling. I cycled down to St Leonard on a hired e-bike from Indented Heads to St Leonard’s and then back to Portarlington. What a great ride. All in all a great stay and wonderful holiday.

Booked this property for my son and his family for a short Christmas visit. They loved the cosiness of the property-even their 6 year old commented. Small compared to some - but perfectly formed. The front deck with the beautifully peaceful garden was like an extra room. Would stay again.

My partner and I stayed at Little Port Cottage with 4 kids 9-16. The cottage was so cosy and private, walking distance to everything so the kids can go away and leave us alone. Loved it.

Clean, cosy and comfortable with delightful touches. Enjoyed the woodfire and the shower was superb. Quirky garden, secure yard for my dog and so close to the esplanade we could walk for kilometers either way. Would definitely stay again. One tip, BYO towels, I didn't but the owner obligingly lent me a towel.

We enjoyed 3 nights at Little Port Cottage. The house was well equipped and very comfortable. We loved having the wood fire going in the evening, it warmed the whole house. Sitting on the front veranda enjoying a cuppa and looking at the interesting garden was very relaxing.

Lovely little house - welcoming with nice touches such as home made loose leaf tea. Close to shops and beaches. Front yard is good for a windy day as well as the sunny ones. A late departure easily arranged too. Would highly recommend.

Another great stay
This is the second time we have stayed at this property with our dog and we look forward to returning again soon. Portarlington is a great place to stay. We spent a restful week walking along the beach, relaxing and reading beside the fire. House is extremely comfortable and has everything you need. Thanks Cindy for your wonderful hospitality.

Beautiful home close to the sea
Only a short walk to the beach. This home has everything you need to feel comfortable and relaxed. There are so many places to sit inside and out. We loved the garden which was full of little surprises and my children loved the cubby house. It was clean and had a full equipped kitchen. We would definitely stay again, thank you Cindy for being a great host.

Loved Little Port Cottage
First of all, thank you Cindy for being such a thoughtful and responsive host. We loved the cottage. Comfortable beds and furniture, cosy wood heater, a fully equipped kitchen. All the lovely seaside touches including paintings by local artists. A native garden full of surprises including the solar fairy lights at night. Quite magical. Just the best cubby house in a good size backyard. Beautiful trees which attract the birds and provide shade. Quiet area and only a short walk to the beach and township. We look forward to our next stay at Little Port Cottage.
