Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Great Lakes Council

I think this will be the place I stay every time I visit Port Macquarie. Eliza’s place felt like my own little apartment on the beach, and was a wonderful getaway from the country. I found a few favourite restaurants and beaches that were in short walking distance. The property was clean, comfortable, and smelled amazing. Thank you Eliza!

Had a fantastic time, beautiful location, wonderful welcoming staff, stunning unit. Already planning to go back for a longer stay.

Lovely place in a great location, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The home was cosy, well-maintained, and Alana made everything easy from check-in to check-out.

Fiona was a fabulous host. Super responsive and helpful. Her apartment is in a great location with an easy walk to the beach. Comfortable with everything you need. We had a fabulous time 😀

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Morna Magic! It was our first family holiday with our 5month old. The place was private clean and equipped with all amenities. Location was a stones throw away from the beautiful Birubi Beach and Tomaree National Park Trail making it easy without taking pram etc. Mark was proactive and responsive with all communications. Will definitely come again!

Amazing place to stay, walking distance from everything good in Nelson Bay. Pleasure staying here with my mates

Donna was very friendly and easy to deal with. Definitely will be coming back for another stay

Yantra's place was a peaceful hideaway tucked away in Avoca. The place was clean and well maintained yet cozy, had all the amenities we needed (portable stove, pots and pans, oil, utensils, washing machine, internet, dryer). The outdoor sitting area was comfortable and overlooked the beautiful garden. The place colourful and full of personality, we felt very at home during our stay. Thank you again.

I had a great stay, James and Julia the place was fantastic, had everything I needed. The wood heater was definitely a stand out for me! It was ideally located also within a stones throw from the shops, cafe and most importantly the pub! Definitely recommend and I will be back!

We had a wonderful stay at this charming sandstone cottage in Kurrajong. The house is spacious and surrounded by peaceful bushland, with lovely walking trails and a great campfire spot. We especially enjoyed the unique cowboy and vintage memorabilia that gave the place so much character. The kitchen was very well equipped, allowing us to cook hearty meals and really make the space feel like home. On our last night, we ended the trip perfectly with a cozy campfire and roasted veggies under the stars. A beautiful, remote getaway—perfect for the Easter long weekend and a much-needed escape from the busy city life.

Clean and tidy place, close to beach and main strip. Easy to follow instructions on checking in and out.

The accommodation was top notch! Fantastic renovation with historic features but all modern facilities. Attention to detail was on point with some thoughtful touches that we think are important, crockery, glassware, candles, good coffee machine with vast selection of pods. Quality bathroom products and lovely soft towels. We were there on a cold wet evening and the heating was very substantial and the place was very cosy. Highly recommended!!

Great space for a nice get away with friends or family! House was clean and easy to check in to. Was close to many different attractions

Bundera Lodge was great for a short holiday getaway. Wonderful views across the valley, peaceful surroundings, and most importantly a great coffee machine :) Tim was really helpful and gave clear instructions. Everything in the lodge was in the right place and was working. The kitchen was well-stocked and had a variety of pots, pans, and appliances for cooking up a feast. Thanks so much!

we stayed at Villa Nessa for a bucks weekend with 14 guys, and it was absolutely perfect. The house was immaculate, spacious, and felt more like a home than a rental. There were plenty of comfortable beds, large living areas, and a fully equipped kitchen that made group meals easy. The spa was a standout feature—hot, clean, and ideal for relaxing after a long day. The location was quiet and peaceful, yet still close to everything we needed. Although we didn’t meet Vanessa in person, she was an exceptional host. Her communication was prompt, polite, and super helpful from start to finish. She made everything smooth and stress-free, even with a large group. It’s clear she puts a lot of care into making the home welcoming and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our mate’s upcoming wedding. Highly recommended to any group looking for a clean, relaxing, and well-managed stay. Would definitely return to Villa Nessa

As a large group we found the facilities to be excellent. The spa was clean and well maintained. Kitchen and bathroom facilities were also more than adequate for a large group. The area has a huge variety of water activities, shopping, nature, restaurants. The home is not easily accessed by the frail or the elderly due to the stairs and steep driveway but the view is amazing.
