We had really noisy lawnmowing at 7.30 am outside our window, other than that the stay was perfect.

Very quiet considering we were right in the middle of Port Macquarie. Multiple cafes for morning coffee within a close walking distance. Also very close to shopping centre and walk to the river and beach. Top spot for a quick stay. Very nice staff at reception.
