The Portage Resort is a tranquil escape set between native bush and the calm waters of Kenepuru Sound in the heart of the Marlborough Sounds. Offering panoramic views, relaxed coastal charm, and direct access to renowned walking tracks, it’s an ideal destination for slowing down and reconnecting with nature while still enjoying modern comforts. Whether you’re exploring nearby trails or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings, the resort provides a perfect balance of serenity and convenience.

Arriving is part of the adventure, with direct helicopter flights landing right on the resort’s heli-pad for a smooth and unforgettable journey from Nelson or Blenheim. The short scenic flight showcases turquoise waters, native forest, and remote bays before touching down in paradise. Guests can spend their time walking sections of the Queen Charlotte Track, kayaking sheltered bays, enjoying Marlborough wines by the water, or doing nothing at all. If weather conditions prevent flying, a private road or boat transfer will be arranged and the fare difference refunded, ensuring a stress-free experience.
