“Yesterday the 18th of April, we celebrated my father’s 86th birthday at The Grand Hotel Portarlington, surrounded by his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. We have been there many a time and this time lived up to our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel genuinely welcome. A very special mention to the amazing staff of Izzy, Amanda, Steve, Pauly, and Tyson. Every one of them went out of their way to make sure the day ran smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble, and their attitude set the tone for the whole event. I made sure to personally pass this on directly to the Manager as well. The setting only added to the experience. Post lunch we moved to the famous front steps of The Grand, where we were lucky to have a perfect sunny autumn afternoon, sitting back with a few beautiful reds as the sun dropped, soaking in the warmth and atmosphere before heading off on the Port Phillip Ferry to Docklands. A memorable day for our family, and a venue I’d recommend without hesitation. Thanks to all and we will be back!”
