This is an adorable little apartment. It is perfectly situated, close to shops, restaurants, clubs and a short walk into the main street of Port Macquarie. It was well equipped and it would have been easy to cook at home. We chose to go out and it was a short stroll to the restaurants at the Marina. The apartment is tastefully decorated with an eclectic mix of decorations. Perfect for a one night stay, as we did, but also very suitable for a longer break.

Xanthe was a great host. Whenever I had a question she would reply very quickly with great guidance. She has a great eye to detail and went above and beyond with making it feel like a true holiday place. The only thing I couldn’t workout was opening the washing machine the door was stuck. But everything else was great. Comfy bed , clean kitchen and spacious loungeroom . Also a nice pool to swim in the complex. Definitely reccomend Thankyou Xanthe . There’s a section where it asks you to choose stars to rate and it’s not letting me choose 5 stars for value for money only 4 stars. But the value for money is definitely 5 stars. Everything about this place is 5 stars
