Port Macquarie hotellia

Plussat: The location suited us very well...close to Lighthouse Beach. Very friendly owners who take obvious pride in setting up the two available rooms so well. There were many little touches such as good quality soaps, shampoos etc in the bathroom. An excellent range available for breakfast in the kitchen/ lounge room for use by people in both room. Well done.

Plussat: It was beautiful, great spot & fantastic local knowledge

Miinukset: Clean, owners were lovely

Plussat: Spacious room; really comfy bed; great wifi connection; clean bathroom with double shower and toiletries; well-stocked kitchen.

Miinukset: Hot cooked breakfast would have been nice.

Plussat: It was a lovely place, beautiful room and patio. The common room was fantastic with kitchen facilities, fridge etc., lounge. The hosts were fantastic, so helpful when recommending restaurants, things to do, places to bushwalk. So friendly, welcoming and chatty.

Plussat: John, our host, was very accommodating. The room was large, comfortable and clean with an adjoining en suite. Loved the double shower. The bed was warm and very comfortable. There is a small patio attached. There is a comfortable common lounge/kitchen area. A huge variety of basic breakfast supplies including tea, coffee etc but don't expect a cooked breakfast.

Miinukset: Not much at all really.

Plussat: I like the location, it is very close to the beach.

Miinukset: None.

Plussat: Best of breakfasts. We breakfast on Muesli at home so really enjoyed the Anchors B & B offerings plus the added bonus o home made bread. Wonderful.

Miinukset: Nothing much could be improved. Everything was provided. Very well appointed bed and bathroom. Dining room catered for almost every need.

Plussat: very good, very nicely presented especially the fresh fruit and everything was nice and clean,wifi was good and easy to load,also it was quiet, easy access to town and beaches,extra towels and bathrobes were good also

Miinukset: need a light above the tea making and toaster area

Plussat: Very clean and well presented room. Very friendly and welcoming staff, excellent breakfast and great location

Plussat: Location was great for walking to the beach. The hostess gave great choices for dinner and suggestions for our short stay.

Miinukset: Had difficulty finding the place at night as there wasn't a lit sign. There was a mix up on our breakfast.

Plussat: Quality

Plussat: Close proximity to the ocean. Beautiful clean beaches, one dog friendly. Walked along both, once before breakfast and the other early evening. Good variety of breakfast offered. Very comfortable, clean room.

Miinukset: Not located in centre of town so would be a good 20 min walk each way.

Plussat: Quiet and private. Lovely fresh breakfast enjoyed in room and ready access to kitchen facilities outside room.

Miinukset: Minor negative. Milk in a small jug included with breakfast tray would be good.

Plussat: The bed

Miinukset: Being over the main entrance so we were exposed to all arrival & departure noise. The cost of drinks at the bar were way over the top. There was no kitchenette facility, no cutlery, we were facing the car park so everyone could see into our room, you had to stand in the bathtub to take a shower. Holes in the wall behind the door.

Plussat: Location to the marina, shops and restaurants.

Miinukset: Major renovations currently taking place that were not advertised nor were reflected in the high price. Some facilities such as tennis courts were unavailble and again not advertised.

Plussat: Nice location on the river and close to amenities and shops, about a 2 min walk.

Miinukset: Everything was wonderful. Staff were friendly and love the new renovations!

Plussat: Clean Tidy Spacious

Plussat: The staff was excellent. Chris and Jacob were very helpful. They made our stay top notch!

Plussat: Nice location and views from the river-facing room. Really close to a bunch of good restaurants and a shopping center with Woolworths in it, so anything we needed was across the road. The swimming pool was quite cold (probably unheated), but the small spa next to it was spot on temperature and size-wise. Plenty of parking.

Miinukset: The food and drinks throughout the day were underwhelming to say the least, and the value for money is absolutely atrocious. Quality-wise the food was sub-standard (the level of a generic state school cafe), but the prices are of a 5-star resort. However, unlike in all other 5-star resorts that I've stayed in, this one didn't even include breakfast in its $$$ price tag. So having paid roughly $800 for a couple of nights do expect to pay $28 per person for every breakfast (and I mean the generic breakfast buffet that is usually offered for free, i.e. bland / flavourless cereal, components of a full English breakfast, such as eggs, sausages, overly-dried "vintage" tomato and unappealing "blackened mushrooms", as well as some bread/buns. The usual), then also $5 for a coffee milk inside the room (so much for the free coffee), etc. etc. It's almost like they forgot that there's a Woolworths and a great variety of good restaurants across the road! Sails is filled with micro-payments / "micro-extortions" and the only things that seem to be included in the room cost are the beds, TV, and the ceiling fan (seriously, that is mentioned in the list of room features & inclusions). During the day I've ordered a $20 Mojito, which turned out to be a tiny (150ml?) glass consisting mostly of ice and soda, virtually no alcohol, mint, sugar or flavour in it. Felt like a joke. All other drinks are priced similarly and are of the same size. So if you skip the breakfast buffet, bar and dinner and eat out in one of the restaurants in the city centre - you'll have a great time staying here. Otherwise, get ready for disappointment and spending money on the most basic items that don't meet your expectations.

Plussat: Very comfortable and very helpful team - Ian was really helpful when we arrived late due to detour as a result of bush fires

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very friendly staff.

Miinukset: Old bathroom.

Plussat: Clean tidy good location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Felt like we could just about walk to everything. View was wonderful.

Plussat: Staff members were friendly & welcoming. Our refurbished room was very clean & comfortable with a fabulous shower & alovely water view.

Miinukset: Not applicable

Plussat: Friendly staff, clean and comfortable - perfect location

Plussat: Exceptional service from all staff we encountered. Our 1 bedroom apartment room 504 had lovely views. Everything was spotless, bed and pillows comfortable. Highly recommend this place. Everything in the apartment that you could possibly need.

Miinukset: That we had to go home.

Plussat: Staff were great. Really appreciated their advice as we were making our way up on a day of intense bushfire activity.

Plussat: It was ok till we got locked out of our room some key wouldn’t work

Miinukset: The hot tub was not even hot and the pool was dirty

Plussat: The property was very well located and very clean and well presented.

Miinukset: We would have preferred an en-suite bathroom .

Plussat: Comfy bed great pool and outdoor spa

Plussat: Everything about our stay was perfect, the facility did exceed my expectation, we had easy access to the pool, the games room was great for kids all ages, we didn’t use the bbq area but good to know for future defence and the set up was perfect! The staff were beyond friendly, super helpful and very kind.

Miinukset: The only thing we didn’t like were the stairs in the apartment

Plussat: The resort was great. The location was excellent. There is a national park directly across the street. The resort had a great pool. There was a great games room, all free that would keep kids occupied for some time. The pool was lovely. The beach is close bye.

Plussat: Loved the layout of the accommodation

Miinukset: Had a bit of a dusty smell

Plussat: The apartment had very good facilities and was very clean. The owner was very helpful.

Miinukset: The pool was full of leaves and bits of trees.

Plussat: pretty much everything

Miinukset: the upstairs stairs, my 65 year old father had a little hard time with it as it is narrow.

Plussat: The people who own the resort were extremely helpful and friendly. The resort was clean and had great amenities too

Plussat: We booked last minute so got a great rate for a 5 star room. Spacious and very comfortable. Parking was underground and the staff were friendly and very helpful. Within walking distance of the Koala Hospital and a beach.

Miinukset: WiFi was an extra cost

Plussat: The staff were very helpful. The apartment was large and we'll appointed with a kitchenette and laundry. The location was close to one of the Port beaches and has a great authentic home-style Italian pizza and pasta restaurant around the corner. Extremely good value and as I have said the construction work didn't really trouble us once we worked out what was going on.

Miinukset: The resort is currently under considerable construction and refurbishment activities. The only negative for us was when we arrived the signage for directions weren't great and some of the outdoor lighting hadn't been turned on. The staff were surprised that we hadn't been informed about the construction work at the time of booking. It seems this information hasn't been displayed by booking.com ( it was only at the very bottom of the notification after booking do I see that). As we were leaving early it didn't affect us, but some guests may not appreciate the 7am start to construction activities.

Plussat: The staff were all friendly & helpful

Miinukset: The site was undergoing an upgrade; our room needed it & overall, there was some noise

Plussat: Great value for money, beautiful large rooms and the facilities are fantastic.

Miinukset: The only one fault was the sofa bed was uncomfortable and it's linen not clean.

Plussat: Friendly staff. Comfortable rooms. Great location. Perfect for families.

Miinukset: Renovations are going on at the moment but didn’t impact our stay except made getting around the property a bit confusing.

Plussat: They were really helpful when we thought we left a phone behind. They were generous and accommodating with a late arrival and place to put a trailer for the night. Thankyou.

Plussat: short walk to the beach in one direction and town in the other

Plussat: The bed.

Miinukset: Very comfortable. Supplied well will the comforts of home.

Plussat: Lydia was lovely Close to beach Clean Kitchen was fan Had a lot of needs Microwave, toaster, kettle Even disheashing detergent , plug and tea towel. Great rate

Miinukset: Needs renovations Especially bathrooms Bed too soft and bouncy

Plussat: Such an awesome place, with absolutely beautiful hosts... thank you

Plussat: The property was in a convenient location. Front desk personnel was also extremely helpful.

Miinukset: Room had a bit of a musty smell but it’s not a major concern.

Plussat: Everything else was good

Miinukset: Room smelled strongly of perfumed cleaning substances which I couldn't ventilate away despite having the window and door open for the afternoon and all night. Forget the USA fragrance free movement, this was really concentrated odour which prevented normal sleep. I am not known to be sensitive to these odours and have never complained before.

Plussat: Great staff, let me book in early.

Plussat: The owners take excellent care for the people. Have rarely seen such hospitality. Plus the location was great value for money.

Miinukset: None.

Plussat: The service was excellent. Very friendly. Clean room

Miinukset: I would have liked a double bed

Plussat: Was at the motel due to smoke haze from the Mid north Coast fires(am asthmatic)...the attitude of the owners was compassionate and community minded... with myself and other who evacuated to there over the coming days. The motel itself is small but well run..but it is the kindness of the people that will remain as a lasting memory

Miinukset: There was nothing not to like a well run small motel, priding themselves on service...

Plussat: Great little spot. Awesome apartment. Will definitely return.

Plussat: Convenient location in town, quiet street but close to beaches, walking along break wall and shops. Good views from balcony.

Miinukset: Ensuite toilet smells. No recycling facility. Separate car parking spaces right next to entry and exit gates are awkward to get in and out of and confusing for families travelling together

Plussat: The location was great and the communication was thorough. There was plenty of space and comfort for our family.

Plussat: Nice clean facilities, booked a double private room. Shared bathroom with only another 3 double rooms.

Miinukset: No ovens! Non stick pans not available in kitchen, must be rented from reception.

Plussat: We’ve stayed in a few backpackers in South Africa and loved this back packers in Australia. The staff are helpful and friendly, the private room we booked was spotless and comfortable. The kitchen facilities are good and you can easily walk to all the spots for evening entertainment or daytime activities. Highly recommended!

Miinukset: Great position, clean and friendly.

Plussat: Easiness, location, good staff

Miinukset: The people who don't know how to use toilets

Plussat: The facilities were awesome and kept very clean :)

Miinukset: Not close to shops or beach :(

Plussat: Staff very friendly and very helpful

Plussat: Nice room, clean and well presented in a good, quiet location.

Miinukset: Blocked basin, noisy extractor fan in need of maintenance.

Plussat: Bed was very comfortable and motel close to sbd

Miinukset: Sheets on the bed to much starch so very noisey when moving

Plussat: Cleanliness and nice outlook. The best sheets ever! Great shower.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Lovely staff, great location, and fabulous rooms with everything you need! The pool is great too!

Plussat: Great location, great value, lovely view from the porch, perfect for a couple of nights stay. The updated decore is very tasteful and practical. The premises the cleanest I have ever stayed. We certainly would return.

Miinukset: Only constructive complaint would be, though the view is beautiful the sun rising early is so bright is makes it difficult to continue sleeping. A set of heavy block-out curtains would be fabulous.

Plussat: Convenient location close to the town centre, nice river views from the room

Miinukset: None

Plussat: The room was clean and comfortable and was surprisingly modern compared to the outside of the property. We had a first floor room which was overlooking the river. It was only a short walk into town to the shops.

Miinukset: The parking was limited to a small area in front of the motel. We managed to secure a space but I feel if we had arrived late there would have not been any space.

Plussat: What a fabulous place. I'll be back for a longer stay next time. Just beautiful

Plussat: Everything can’t fault it

Plussat: I think my family were quite surprised with the comfort and cleanliness

Miinukset: Water park wasn't open at the time

Plussat: The cabin, clean but no where to eat

Miinukset: No where to eat we had to ride our motorbikes in the dark to Port Mcquarie

Plussat: Very clean, great set up I wish we could have stayed longer!

Plussat: The aqua park, the clean camp kitchen and bathroom facilities were so clean!

Plussat: Great location, right where we needed to be. The room had all the right amenities you need. Fantastic value for money.

Plussat: Very well appointed. Clean, tidy. Everything you need. Very clean. Well set up.

Miinukset: Had to ask for hairdryer.

Plussat: Very comfortable bed in a clean and quiet room..all at great price. Say no more.

Miinukset: The shower and bathroom could have been cleaner in corners etc. Just old tiles etc. But room, kitchen appeared to be clean.

Plussat: Friendly staff and a clean comfortable room
