Portsea Pub Hotel: A coastal icon reimagined
Nestled along the stunning coastline of Victoria, the Portsea Pub Hotel has long stood as a cherished landmark, welcoming locals and travellers alike with its historic charm and breathtaking views of Port Phillip Bay.
Established in 1876, this iconic establishment has been the heart of the community for generations. In 2020, it underwent a remarkable transformation, breathing new life into its storied walls and iconic roof while retaining the essence of its rich heritage.
A $7 million transformation
The Portsea Pub Hotel’s $7 million renovation in 2020 was a significant milestone in its history. Spearheaded by the Colonial Leisure Group (CLG)/Morris Hospitality, the project aimed to revitalise the beloved venue, enhancing both its aesthetic appeal and functionality.
This ambitious restoration project meticulously preserved the hotel’s historical character while seamlessly integrating modern amenities and design elements.
Architectural brilliance meets coastal elegance
Located at 3746 Point Nepean Road, the Portsea Pub Hotel now boasts a stunning blend of classic and contemporary styles. A crucial element of the restoration was the roof, where UniCote® Coastal in Slate Grey was used to restore the original roof, complementing the building’s historical charm. This premium roofing material offers robust protection against the elements, including corrosive coastal conditions, while enhancing the hotel’s visual appeal.
Slate Grey is a sophisticated colour choice, providing a modern yet timeless look that aligns perfectly with the hotel’s coastal setting. Its durable finish ensures the roof maintains its aesthetic and structural integrity for years to come, embodying both style and resilience.

A heritage preserved – a destination for all seasons
The restoration project not only revitalised the physical structure but also honoured the hotel’s historical significance. Established in 1876, the Portsea Pub Hotel has witnessed generations of memories and stories. The careful restoration process paid homage to this legacy, ensuring that the hotel’s unique character remains intact for future generations to enjoy.
