Portland House, Cape York is an ideal base for exploring the greater Iron Range area.
Portland Roads is rich with history as a safe anchorage for the early exploration of the Cape, gold mining, and the defence of Northern Australia during WW2. Today, it is a launching point for small boats on these pristine, far northern areas of the Great Barrier Reef closeby.
Build your adventure as you explore the adjacent Kutini-Payamu (Iron Range) National Park rainforest. The natural wonders and endemic species of birdlife make this area so unique.
Iconic Chili Beach is located a short drive away and is a great place for a long walk, beachcombing, or to simply enjoy a picnic lunch with the family.
Reviews from the Portland House visitors book
Amazing hospitality from Sheree and Greg was the icing on the cake for a wonderful birding stay. November weather was hot but also cool overnight so the open plan and fans worked well. The flowers out front, sea breezes and abundant obliging birds made this a heavenly stay. Thanks again!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at Portland House. A beautiful base for our bird tours. A Lovely view from really comfortable seats, and what a fabulous seafood dinner.
Thank you Greg (and absent Sheree). We had a lovely time seeing many birds and wildlife and even more unidentified singing objects!
Absolutely beautiful spot. Sorry we weren't able to stay and relax longer. Thank you for your hospitality.
Accommodation and opening the cafe for us was just wonderful. Thank you for your hospitality.
Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us. You live in a totally unique & very special part of Australia! Everything we have seen and experienced has been wonderful. The Indian curries were absolutely delicious (I had 3 in one week!), and our Saturday night dinner was fantastic. Sheree & Greg, the effort, time, and genuine hospitality to make everyone feel so welcome is truly appreciated.
Wow, after the long drive from Home Hill we entered a little place of paradise. We just loved the house. We immediately relaxed into this lifestyle. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Our time was truly a blessing as your home provided a transquil energy for us to get off the crazy mouse wheel of life. We loved every moment! Thank you.
Perfect place to relax & recharge. The house is amazing, the view is spectacular and the meals, cake & chai from the Cafe next door are outstanding. We wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for a beautiful stay.
Thank you so much Greg & Sheree. We had the most amazing adventures here and can't believe how quick the time went. We loved treasure hunting on the beaches, meeting Dave on Restoration Island and to top it off the beautiful dinner at the cafe!! Everything was 10/10. Can't wait to come back to continue our adventures in your beautiful piece of paradise. Thank you for opening your home to us.
