Portee Homestead

Portee is steeped in history, being amongst one of the earliest areas settled in South Australia outside the city of Adelaide.

Situated in the outback country. Portee is an easy 2-hour drive or 1/2hr flight from Adelaide. Portee has its own airstrip named in honour of Edward John Eyre, an early South Australian Explorer.

The homestead built in 1873 on the floodplain of the River Murray, is in the wetlands, allowing the abundant bird life that inhabits the slow flowing creek and age-old river gums to provide a unique experience in a tranquil and restful setting. The Murray River fronts the property, and the homestead has a private Portee creek surrounded by wetlands.

The Murray River is accessible by 4WD for boating, jet skis, canoes and kayaking enthusiasts. A private area with slipway and pontoon.

History Of Portee Station Homestead First settled in 1841, Moorundie the area that we now call Sandy Beach, is the site of the home of explorer Edward John Eyre, who was given the job of Protector of the Aborigines. Due to the sandbars at that point in the river it became a place to cross the river on the road to Sydney, eventually developed into the bustling township of Sturt, with a Police Station and Army Barracks, until a flood washed it away in 1870, and the town was moved to its present-day site of Blanchetown. Portee Station now encompasses tourism for international and domestic guests.
