Sitting in the heart of the Central West, Portland is ideally located between Oberon, Mudgee, Bathurst and Lithgow and the Blue Mountains. The town is surrounded by beautiful beauty and rolling countryside. With Wollemi and Gardens of Stone National Parks, and plenty of walking trails, Portland is a great place to setup a base camp. If staying close to town is more your vibe, we have the Sound Trails and interactive walk through town, telling the story of our people and the history of our community. And if you plan your stay with us just right you will be able to catch one of the many events happening at the Foundations.

Portland is a quiet and idyllic town making it the perfect retreat from hustle and bustle of the city. While exploring the shops on the main street you will some QR codes, feel free to scan these to get a rich insight and history of the places that are in front of you. We have a few antiques and homewares shops, along with all the modern conveniences. Pop in for haircut, or stop for a cuppa at the Grove cafe.
