There was such a great sense of hospitality at Victoria House. We felt right at home and absolutely loved the sitting room with the open fire, along with the complimentary fruit cake, sherry, and port. It was very charming! It was also very comfortable despite being the middle of winter - we never felt cold, and didn't even need the electric blankets! There was so much character and history in the property, as with the whole of Portland, and the gardens were gorgeous. Mandy and John were fantastic hosts, there to help us with anything we needed, and the kids loved Lilly the dog. The location was also excellent. We will definitely choose Victoria House next time we visit Portland.

One single bed on wheels moved a bit, but that should be easy to secure and the beds were otherwise very comfortable and warm.

Fantastic 'posh' stay at a very reasonable price. Gorgeous historic bluestone building lovingly restored with period vibe, almost like a stately home visit but on a smaller scale. Free parking on street right outside the accommodation. Central location yet quiet at night. We walked to all the town highlights (foreshore, tram car, dining, pubs, etc) Lush garden, little nooks and crannies to sit and relax. Fabulous lounge with gentle ambient music, soft lighting and open fire each night, along with complimentary fruit cake and port wine or sherry. Fabulous way to have a quiet board game or chat. Friendly, helpful and accommodating hosts Mandy and John, who serviced the room daily and took care of our personal laundry (at a small extra charge). Loved our stay.

Had to leave early and didn't bother with breakfast. I'm sure it would have been great. On arrival the owner was very informative and friendly. Room was cosy and I felt very safe. Able to wander down the road for dinner with family and friends at a very suitable venue.

My only problem where the narrow stairs - must have been difficult for the pioneers living in a two storey house with such narrow, steep stairs. A young female visitor was very nice and offered to help with my suitcase & carry bags. There was nothing at all that I could really complain about - it was just a very enjoyable trip.

Beautiful heritage blue stone house circa 1850's . Walking through the front door was like walking back in time. Tastefully decorated with furnishings that complement the home. Lovely gardens and welcoming hosts made a enjoyable overnight stay. It's just a short walk from the accommodation to the town centre.

Nothing to add.

I loved when I arrived John was so welcoming answer all my questioned place was beauiftul and clean.. ruby and I had come down for weekend for basketball Tournament. I went hand back keys Sunday morning 10.15am spoke with Mandy said sorry we late handing keys back we just gotten back from basketball now have go wait down street for our next game..

I can't Recommend this place enough owners so loving caring Faceilies beauiftul clean walking distance all shops thank you having us.

Only thing didn't like was leaving go back home

Beautifully presented with prefect location, welcoming hospitality, character building. Clean, comfortable, beautifully furnished. Special extra's like port or sherry and fruit cake in the evenings in the joint lounge. A glass conservatory reading room . With a gorgeous outdoor garden area to sit in the quiet with the darling little dachshund for company. A walk back in time, with the modern day comforts. Such an enjoyable stay.

Victoria House was first an Accommodation House/Hotel built circa 1850's and was so special. Decor was old and vintage style to compliment the building and that was special. Lounge room with and open fire and complementary sherry and port. Breakfast all homemade. One day not enough. Portland tram ride and so much history and thinks to see.

We only booked one night

loved the Olde world feel of the premises. Access to gardens, reading room, lounge room, all very nicely appointed and decorated. Mandy, our hostess, was very accommodating and helpful. Victoria House is very well located to local facilities.

hmmmm, the pillows could have been a bit more supportive. Otherwise, the bed was comfortable, if a little higher then we are used too!

Great stay at the Victoria house! Highly recommend. The house restorations and the historical atmosphere at the house were amazing. The hosts are fabulous, friendly, and great cooks. The gardens were just beautiful to wake to. Wonderful location on top of a hill able to overlook beautiful Portland Bay. Would stay again

everything was great.

The location was perfect for my purpose. Most places were easily reached on foot so I rarely used the car. The authenticity of the building and furnishings added to the experience as I was there to do family tree research. Mandy also provided books with various places and contacts to facilitate my research.

The only issue was the half-flush button on the toilet kept running. So I just had to use the full-flush button. Mandy got onto it straight away by contacting a plumber. Nothing was too much trouble. It was a very minor issue that didn't affect my stay.
