Contact The Portage Resort

Our location is accessible by road, water taxi or helicopter. Please note that road access is limited and may be affected by weather or maintenance. Guests travelling by road should check conditions in advance and allow extra travel time.

Portage Resort does not offer a leisure shuttle service for guests during their stay. The resort can transfer guests to and from Torea Wharf only, and only at designated times.

Portage Resort is approximately 15 minutes by ferry from Picton to the Torea Bay Wharf, followed by a short 4-minute pre-booked drive or a 30-minute walk over the saddle to the resort. If travelling from Havelock, it is a 40-minute boat ride from Havelock Marina and can be booked with Kenepuru Water Taxi.

Bag Transfers for Hotel Guests

Cougar Line and Beachcomber operate arrival schedules throughout the day, delivering both guests and luggage to Torea Bay. Luggage transfers must be arranged directly with them at the time of booking your water taxi.

If you wish to send your luggage unaccompanied, a Portage staff member will collect it on arrival and deliver it to the hotel.

On your departure day, please place your bags in the luggage shed at the top of the Resort’s Reception stairs by 9.00am. Hotel staff will transport all luggage to Torea Bay for collection. Please do not leave your bags outside your room, as the luggage shed is the designated collection point.

For more information, please contact our friendly team at stay@portageresort.co.nz.
