Hello it was absolutely amazing the staff were so friendly Polite helpful funny very welcoming and just excellent staff all round. Room was spacious lovely little kitchenette with every facility you need and want. nice couch nice bedroom very comfy bed. Great bathroom lovely toiletries nice view great balcony with tables and chairs. Pool spa and sauna available. Cross the road from the beach restaurants cafes nearby. short drive to supermarket short drive to rainforest. Very popular place Lake Cathie It’s a must to see and enjoy. Excellent surroundings very enjoyable stay. Having long walks along the beach. Would certainly stay again when next in Port Macquarie without any hesitation. Staff were so kind as my hubby left his bathers behind they contacted us and are now sending them forward. Extremely helpful with this matter it’s wasn’t any trouble at all. Couldn’t ask for anything more. A fantastic setup having the car park underground coming up to your floor with no waiting for lifts no interruptions absolutely fantastic place to stay. Thank you so very much.

Spacious 2 bed apartment, but a bit sparsely furnished and in need of an update, as it’s a bit dated.

8/10 Very good

Spacious apartments with kitchen & balcony. Good bathrooms. Great position on the water front and short walk to town centre. Good cafe on site. Apartments a little worn with paint work and carpet getting old. They did seem a little bare & sparse. Would certainly book there again though.

Too noisy
The motel room balcony was useless. A tall bar table and two stools. You would never sit out there. The rooms are kind of attached to next door and the doors cannot be closed quietly. Also a laundry right next to our door. Our neighbours did washing late at night, then came and went about 6 times very early in the morning, doors banging all the way. So noisy.
