All rooms are newly-renovated, and the pool area is beautiful. This hotel is right on the water and has a very good on-site restaurant. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy more of the local atmosphere of Port Macquarie and the comforts of this hotel.

The resort was lovely bar staff gentlemen that was on was fantastic. My room 121 had a good rhesus outlook and veranda with access to pool area.
Only negative was the breakfast the bacon seemed like it was steamed and soggy, probably the worse bacon I had ever seen in a breakfast buffet anywhere in the world. I asked if they could cook the bacon on the hot plate for me as was soggy. The chef was rude and sarcastic to me.
I wouldn’t a grumpy rude chef ruin such a lovely hotel though. More than happy with this hotel.

Beautiful corner room with view of the lake and garden. We loved the water dragons on nearby lawn, very neat to see them hanging out. Staff were lovely. Walking distance to amenities across the street (eg McDs, chemist). Restaurant was great- shared a steak and bottle of wine. Pool and hot tub were great. No concerns.
