Established in 1888, this charming seaside hotel is the Bellarine Peninsula’s heritage jewel.

The Atrium, a neighbourhood pub frequented by locals, serves fresh favourites like locally caught fish of the day. The Bistro takes it up a notch with signature Portarlington mussels, and local Bellarine distillers, breweries and wineries champion a thoughtful drinks menu at the Front Bar. Just over an hour’s ferry ride from Melbourne, Portarlington Grand Hotel couldn’t be better poised for exploring the peninsula. With return transfers to local wineries included in your stay, graze with a degustation board at Bennets Winery, sample award-winning drops at Jack Rabbit or soak up panoramic vineyard views at Terindah Estate (additional charges apply).
