News Update: 02/24/2011 – Travelzoo for AUS and NZ and Newsletter!

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

Greetings readers!

It’s a beautiful day out here in between Queen Charlotte and Kenepuru sound with lots of walkers on the Queen Charlotte Track and lots of boats down by Torea Bay looking for Dolphins!

We have two very important updates today.

Firstly, we have just launched two very special offers on the Travelzoo Top 20.  You can find more information online here http://tinyurl.com/4g2lurx These great offers make it affordable for anyone to get away for the weekend and come visit us in the Marlborough sounds!  If you’re lucky you may even see some of these guys!  Sometimes we see quite a few of them when we come over in the AM from Picton on the Cougar Line staff boat!

Secondly.  We will be sending out a newsletter tomorrow with information on our new community involvement and Social Networks called “Portage Friends”.  This means that there will be more fun things happening at The Portage and more exclusive deals and special offers for you guys!  We want to get the local Marlborough and Sounds communities together and build on the amazing things that we have going on over here at the Portage Resort Hotel.

I almost forgot!  Contact Cougar Line in Picton to book our special Eat…Play…Love package.  Just $58 gets you a return boat transfer from Picton to the Portage on Cougar Lines as well as some tasty treats, some scrumptious wines, or some good old family fun.  Call the Cougar Line office for more info!

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Francis Kulaga and everyone on the Portage Resort Hotel team!

This is just a quick update to say that all of us here at the Portage Resort Hotel have the people of CHCH in our thoughts.  We sincerely hope that everyone is safe and that Christchurch will eventually be able to fully rebuild.
