Charming Hostess. Budget room was comfortable but getting our gear up the spiral outside staircase in the rain to the first floor was a pain. Breakfast in the restaurant was pleasant looking out to the river. We would recommend paying a little extra for a ground floor unit particularly if it is raining. A light continental Breakfast included is a... More

Thank you for your comments Betty C. I agree the spiral staircase is a pain, but you will be pleased to hear we are looking at options for its replacement with something more user friendly. In the meantime, we do have the large staircase at the other end of the Port Rooms which is suitable as an alternative. More

If you are ever disturbed again on future visits for any reason, please do not hesitate to phone the on-site manager. Separating walls are brick but I recognise that even this is no barrier to determined domestics. Also, the bush lorikeets... More

Stayed here in early March 13 whilst attending a conference. The location is great - central to everything in the town centre and right across the road from the Hastings River - our 2 bedroom apartment had water views which were magnificent. Our accommodation was in need of an upgrade. Only 1 bathroom in a 2 bedroom apartment seems inadequate... More

Thank you Liz_2Kelly. Unfortunately it's one of the features of many country NSW towns that they close early, especially on week nights. Some clubs stay open a little longer and you can generally get a pizza. I will do a little research and include some meal options In our advice for late arrivals. More

Spent two nights at this hotel which is centrally located in Port Macquarie. Rooms are dated but comfortable. However, the street noise was a bit much. Needs a bit of an update and noise protection for rooms.

Thanks for the feedback Brian. Updates are in progress, and I agree the rooms close to the street can be a bit noisy, especially Sat and Sun nights. Let us know next time and we'll put you further back. Or you could try one of our newly renovated Hastings Delux or Hastings Executive rooms. More
