Stunning views in Port Macquarie! 🌊🌅
Waking up to that ocean view was just lekker! The staff were super friendly too, really made us feel at home. Plus, that pool area was a jol, even when the weather wasn’t playing nice!
Only downside was the slow WiFi, couldn’t really stream anything after dark.

I was absolutely stunned by the lack of a pod coffee machine—how quaint! Tea and coffee were so limited, only one cup each day, how generous. I expected a complimentary upgrade for such distressing inconveniences. being informed of power cuts just hours prior was unforgivable, I was ready to rave about this place but just couldn't.

The spacious three-bedroom apartment offered fantastic ocean views and was well-stocked with essential kitchen items.
The carpets and furnishings felt a bit dated, and a refresh could significantly improve the overall ambiance.

Family with children friendly
So we stayed at this spot for a few nights and the indoor pool was a game changer. Kids loved it-rain or shine, they could enjoy their swim. And the sauna, let me tell you, after a long day it was like stepping into pure bliss.
It wasn’t the cheapest option, but it worked out fine for us.

We loved our stay in the two-bedroom apartment with ocean view! The place was super clean and spacious, with a balcony that had stunning views of the beach. The hot tub and indoor pool were fantastic additions. Short walk to the beach, too, which was a huge bonus! 🌊

Free parking was convenient. Indoor pool was nice but spa wasn't working properly.

The shared entrance with another room felt cramped and raised concerns about privacy and safety during emergencies. Soundproofing is lacking, leading to disturbances from neighboring guests, and a flickering light in the shared area was bothersome. the absence of on-site dining options makes evenings inconvenient, especially considering the hotel is somewhat removed from the CBD.

Couple suitable for a cozy stay
It was a pleasant experience. The bed was incredibly comfy, and I found myself not wanting to get out of it the next morning. Plus, the large bathroom was a nice touch, felt fresh and clean. Enjoyed the convenience of having a lovely café downstairs, perfect for grabbing a coffee while soaking in the atmosphere.
It wasn’t exactly cheap but still acceptable.
