Although we only live nearby we have often hankered after trying this place out - we went there for an anniversary and weren't disappointed. The management was very helpful and obliging to a special request I had and we had a very comfortable stay. The resort is above a restaurant and shops and all you need is right on the... More

We stayed at Portobello By the Sea in a two bed apartment (No 20) and found it to be in excellent condition, very clean and well equipped. The relaxed and friendly nature of the Managers was wonderful and the pool area / BBQ was excellent. Parking was well catered for and lift access to the complex was very good. The... More

A truly great place to spend quality time enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the Sunshine Coast. Close to everything, the hinterland and other beaches but delightfully tucked away and very close to the SLSC Club and Dicky Beach Caloundra. We have stayed at Portabello a couple of times now and thoroughly enjoy just being there and intend to go back... More

We had a great time at Portobello. Lovely, clean and spacious apartments - great layouts with bedrooms situated at the back of the apartments so noise and morning sun was not an issue. The pool was a big winner - warm, and great for kids with lots of shallow areas for them to swim to. Loved the location across from... More

If you are looking for a place to stay that is away from the hustle and bustle with an ideal location, Portobello By The Sea is the place for you. Caloundra is a few minutes drive and the hinterland and many other popular beach locations are not far away. PBTS is located above restaurants and small business shops where you... More

We will be back for sure. Portobello has the beach across the road, skate park also, take away, supermarket, chemist, BWS, and Restaurant, within a blink of an eye! We also found that it was quite a comfy drive from various attractions. Loved it and are planning our next trip already!

This was our second visit to Portobello. We love the pool, which is lovely and warm. The apartments are very well appointed, with everything you need to self cater. There are 2 BBQs by the pool for use by guests. The ocean is just across the road, perfect for a couple of nights as it is only about 90 minutes... More

I found the unit very clean and presentable. The complex is closely located and short walk to Dickey Beach. There are quite a few convenience stores close by with a few take aways, liquor store and a mini market. I was a little concerned that the rooms had no privacy fitting on the door other than a handle button. So,... More
