Shelly Beach Apartment
we really enjoyed our self contained garden fronting apartment. it's spacious, well appointed, comfortable and met all our needs. Natalka and Richard are hospitable and helpful hosts, non intrusive but there if you need them. we. would happily return and highly recommend.

Quiet modern haven with chefs kitchen.
A few things stand out for me. Greg's always smiling and helpful attitude. This place has the Tardis appeal: looking small outside, but spacious within. It was quiet, and the recliner sofa and chair were so spoiling. One of the most comfortable places I've stayed in. I felt Greg and his family went above and beyond making it a pleasant and very quiet stay.

‘Bangalay’ @ Lighthouse Beach
It was a gem to have found Gail's place; the apartment was clean and cozy, and I loved the outdoor space. She was friendly, thoughtful, and had good local recommendations. The lighthouse is within walking distance from the apartment, and there is also a coastal walk. It was nice to meet you and for the helpful tips to visit the lookout. See you guys again the next time!

Noahs Beach House - at Flynns
Our second time here and we loved it! All the mod cons but also felt cosy and coastal. Hopefully we will be back again!! A big thank you for the little touches especially the Easter eggs, very thoughtful!

SOULbySEA Beachfrt & Amazing Views - Coastal luxe
Absolutely lovely beach-side stay, lots of natural light inside and kept very clean. Cafe, restaurants and chemist within short walking distance. Photos are accurate, homely feels and simple instructions/guest book details. Will book again.

Apartment directly across from the beach
Clare was so easy to contact. She replied very quickly and answered any questions we had. The apartment was very convenient for beach and cafe access. Laundry facilities were very handy as was parking on the premises. We would happily stay again.

The River Cottage | Romance with an outdoor bath
Our stay at alli and Isaac’s river cottage was nothing short of amazing. The attention to detail and atmosphere of the house is just absolutely stunning , their communication was top tier. It’s 5/5 stars for absolutely everything about this place and the hosts. Thank you again guys

Walk to Beach - MIST Lake Cathie Luxe Guesthouse
From the moment we walked in, the place had a wonderful, welcoming scent that set the tone for a great stay. It was fully equipped with everything we needed from plates and utensils to an air fryer and a coffee machine. They even provided a complimentary breakfast, including eggs, which was a thoughtful touch. The interior design created a fresh and relaxing atmosphere that made it easy to unwind. The host was incredibly kind, approachable, and went out of their way to let us check in early, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely love to return.

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.

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.
