Mansfield on the Manning Grevillea Cabin (2)
We had a wonderful stay at this charming cabin by the river! The peaceful setting, complete with a private pool, made it a perfect retreat. The kids especially loved sleeping in the cozy loft, which added an element of fun to their stay. The cabin’s decor was warm and inviting, with every detail thoughtfully designed. The kitchen was fully equipped, making meal prep a breeze, and the layout was functional and well-organized. It’s clear the hosts take great pride in maintaining the property—it was beautifully presented. We would highly recommend this gem for a relaxing family getaway!

Lighthouse on the Beach - Unit 2a
Donna provides an excellent accommodation service. The unit was pristine clean and super well equipped. It is a real home away from home. Donna was v responsive to my last minute booking and later extension of stay. The little extras made all the difference. Donna is a considerate and generous host.

Grevillea @ Goolawah Bush & Beach Retreat
This is a beautiful little pocket of paradise. Super quiet and serene surrounded by nature. We loved our stay here especially how big the entire property was. Can highly recommend if you want a little peaceful getaway but still be very close to everything especially surf spots 🙏

Silver Gums Farm Stay your home away from home
Bev and Tom were lovely hosts and we had the best time over the long weekend. The property was gorgeous, quiet and relaxing. Feeding the friendly donkeys was an added bonus. We’d come back again!!

Rippa's Rest
We all had such an amazing time at Rippas Rest. The kids, hubby and i really enjoyed the beautiful pool and tennis court and the lovely house and surroundings. Our little Boston had such a good time with all the toys and all that space to run with secure fencing throughout the property. Justine provided all the information required, clear instructions and the place had everything we needed and more! Cant wait to go back for a winter stay.

Your guide to Port Macquarie
All About Port Macquarie
Port Macquarie is located midway between Sydney and Brisbane on the North Coast of New South Wales. The region boasts 17 beaches, a lush hinterland, and a diverse variety of attractions for all ages. The vibrant central business district of Port Macquarie is surrounded by water, with the Hastings River on one side and stunning beaches on the other, making it one of Australia’s best towns to explore on foot.
A walk through the city centre will uncover a range of edgy boutiques, cool cafes, and restaurants, as well as breweries and bars. Port Macquarie is also home to the Koala Hospital, the world's first hospital dedicated solely to the care and preservation of koalas. The town is watched over by the recently restored Tacking Point lighthouse — the third oldest in the country, built in 1879 to warn ships of the rocks near the shore. From Tacking Point, the high elevation lets you enjoy superb views of Port Macquarie and surrounding areas.

Remember to pack your sunscreen and hat. Whenever you decide to visit you will find an excellent range of places to stay, including pet-friendly accommodations in Port Macquarie.
Top things to do in Port Macquarie
The Coastal Walk
Take the nine-kilometre Coastal Walk from Port Macquarie’s town centre to Lighthouse Beach — rated as one of the country’s top four spectacular coastal walks. This easy-grade walk follows one of the most dramatic coastlines in Australia and will take you past beaches, headlands, historic sites including the Tacking Point Lighthouse, and rainforests — all with stunning views and scenery along the way.
Tacking Point Lighthouse
Venture up to the rocky point above Lighthouse Beach to the striking Tacking Point Lighthouse. Built in 1879, it is still in use today, so you can't enter the lighthouse itself, but you can visit the lighthouse keepers' cottage and read stories about the keepers' lonely life. From here you will enjoy panoramic views of the wild and rocky coastline and you could even spot whales during the migration season.
Timbertown
Take the 20-minute drive from town to Wauchope and step back in time to Timbertown. Set amongst 87 acres of natural forest, Timbertown is an entire village, re-created to demonstrate the life and struggles of Australia's pioneers in the timber industry. You can ride the steam train on a trip out through the forest, experience the carriage ride around the village, and watch blacksmiths at work.
