Detailed Reviews
A perfectly clean and neat motel at very affordable rates. The motel owners are friendly and try to anticipate and accommodate your needs. They have thought of everything, right down to providing wipers and buckets for cleaning your car windscreen. I am planning another visit to Portland next summer and I won’t be staying anywhere else but the Retro Motel.

A group of use travel to Portland every year for the annual car show, and we stay at the Retro. It is owner managed and the rooms are fully equipped with most items needed, they are very clean & spacious, they even have Netflix to view on the TV. They have a large onsite uncovered area with lounge TV kitchen facilities which is great for a small group to relax in. You are made very welcome by the owners, nothing is to much trouble, if you are looking for a good value clean & friendly motel, l can throughly recommend the Retro, you won’t be disappointed.

We have been staying with 6 to 8 friends at this motel every year we come to the annual Show & Shine car show, it never disappoints with its clean well equipped rooms with all necessary items supplied. The well equipped out door lounge kitchen area, equipped with TV, fridge, barbecue and plenty of seating is a welcome facility for all visitors. The very friendly owner operators, are very knowledgeable about all the local attractions.
If you are looking for a quality budget motel in Portland, we can fully recommend the Retro you won’t be disappointed.

We were looking for a place to stay as we were attending a wedding in Portland, there was quite a few good reviews of this hotel so we thought we would give it a go. Apart from being a little older I thought it was very clean and comfortable, the hosts were lovely and accommodated our request of an early check in to prepare for the wedding. I would have no issues staying here again. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

We arrived on a cold Friday afternoon, we were greeted at reception by Peter and after check in directed to our unit. We cannot speak highly enough of the clean amenities that awaited us. It was obvious from the moment we entered the care and love Tina and Peter and staff have for Retro Motel experience.
An inviting Queen bed with white crisp linen set the tone throughout where the bathroom was well presented in retro style. We highly recommend a stay and look forward to our next visit. Warren H

Always awesome staying at the retro. Not far from drag strip. Always a friendly greeting. Great prices. Has a great bbq area to use as well. Rooms are always tidy. Love the small detail of having a windscreen cleaner set up to use after a long drive.

Booked at last minute, owners were lovely and room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Plenty of tea/coffee/biscuits etc and free netflix too! Even had a wee fenced porch at front, I assume for toddlers because it was a family room. Parking was directly outside the room.

We only had a one night stay but the owners were cheerful and the room was excellent and clean. It is RETRO but in a nice way. I am likely never going to go there again but its got nothing to do with the venue, as a New Zealander, its just not a trip I will be doing again. Its a big world. The Retro is a Motel I would totally reccomend EX++++++++ and absolute value for money.

This is a great little motel in Portland. The beds are super comfy! Its a nice 20min stroll to central Portland where you can find some great restaurants and pubs. The motel also has a awesome bbq/common area which we didnt use but looked awesome! Will be sure to stay next time we are in the area!

Tina and Peter could not have been more enjoyable to deal with. After messing up our time of arrival (forgot about the SA->VIC timezone change), when we called to let them know they were happy to still be available for our check in. Clean rooms that were nice and dark during the night, comfy bed, netflix, and quiet. Could not have asked for more. Highly recommend.
