Quick Details
For us, it’s all about the ‘One Percenters’. Those small little things in life that make a difference and actually add value to your day or experience.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce the Grand Shuttle Service, designed exclusively for in-house guests of the Portarlington Grand Hotel and those who have booked a Grand Day Out Package with us.
The Grand Shuttle Service runs from Monday and Friday and has a maximum capacity of 11 people. The bus will depart from the Portarlington Grand Hotel at 1:00 p.m. each day and visit a different destination each day of the week (schedule below). The bus will then return to that venue at 3:15 p.m. to pick everyone up and drop them back at either the hotel or the Portarlington Pier in time for the return ferry trip back to Melbourne.
Departs the hotel: 1:00 pm > Pickup from venue: 3:15 pm
