Porterhouse Beach Hotel

At a lot of hotels I feel like a stranger in someone else's house. At Porter House they make me feel right at home. Roger and Anne are the best.

Staff are very friendly

We stayed 5 nights in late December 2025 and it was great. We are a family of 4 with 2 boys 17 and 20. The worst part was the clear glass door between the bedrooms... Really really wish that was frosted for privacy! It really defeats the purpose of having a door at all when it's clear. But beyond that, the room was clean tho a bit small for 4 people, but you're not there to spend a lot of time in the room. :) plenty of storage! Large fridge space. Beds were comfy, air conditioning in each section of the room and worked fine. Housekeeping came every day with plenty of water, we didn't actually need them to clean tho but they were always there to offer and give more coffee and tea if we wanted. We were the room right next to the office on the ground floor, super convenient for heading out on the town. Loud music at the pool but never disruptive to us, couldn't hear in our room. Pool area was nice to sit at and relax with a drink. The owner(?)/operator woman was adorable and so friendly, we arrived on Christmas and she was wearing this little Santa dress while cleaning the pool and she was just so joyful. She was always eager to help and friendly. The main road you cross to go to the beach is scary busy in appearance but we quickly learned it isn't actually that bad to cross... People will stop for you. 7-11 close by. Well worth the drop in price to stay here right close by the beach but not actually beach FRONT. would 100% stay here again and recommend.

Great location short walk go beach and very friendly/ helpful staff
