Hotels near Tacking Point Lighthouse, Port Macquarie

The thing that makes this hotel is the staff, everyone we encountered was friendly and efficient. We especially enjoyed the restaurant staff who helped with queries, ensured a nice and accessible table, and were just cheery throughout the evening. We booked a water view room, it was lovely and quiet. There were no events or families on the terrace or around the pool, during our stay so we had privacy and peace. This would have been a five star rating, but room was pricey and our food in the restaurant was okay, just not great. Would we stay again, yes.

Stayed here for 2 nights with my wife - lovely! Good 4 star hotel - clean, well presented, everything worked. No USB ports, but a minor problem. Underground free car parking, lovely sun shelter covered rooftop pool (and gym / bbq facilities) with great view. Perfect location for exploring harbour / town centre, lovely walk into mangroves along the river, loads of restaurants about. Friendly staff. Great! Would happily stay again.

Port Macquarie Hotel is located right in the middle of town and provides basic accommodation and good food downstairs. I found the bed comfortable and the ensuite clean and functional. There’s no tea making facilities but nice coffee is available downstairs. Recommend as a basic, reasonably priced, accommodation!

A typical motel with a large bed and a small bed, suitable for a family of three. Breakfast is very simple, cereal, coffee, bread, if you want to lick, you have to pay a single point, and pay. The location is by the lake, there are many graffiti stones by the lake, you can look at it. The hotel manager left at 11pm and found the key to open the door. They will leave keys and messages for you. As a transitional accommodation is not bad.

This is my second time staying here and didn't disappoint. The staff are always friendly and I just enjoy getting know other travellers. The room was exactly what I needed after a long day of driving. This is definitely one of the best Backpackers I've stayed at. I'll definitely come back again. The only downside was with a shared bathroom/toilet facilities there was not enough toilet paper and ran out in the middle of the night.

There are lots of motels to choose from in Port for when you just want to spend a night or two as you are travelling up/down the coast. This one is very well located - just across from the waterfront and around the corner from shops and restaurants. We chose the renovated room overlooking the canal which was very comfortable. This is not a ”park at your door” motel - you will be carrying your bags up from the underground carpark up a few flights of stairs. The pool is large and clean but in need of renovations - pool tiles are dropping off everywhere and the whole courtyard needs a re-tile. Still it was OK to cool off at the end of the day. The Korean/Japanese restaurant in front is a bit pricey but very nice - we enjoyed takeway bento boxes in our room one night. Probably the best thing about the motel is its location. Across the road you are on the waterfront promenade which is lovely to stroll along at any time of day, but especially at sunset. If you walk along the canal you will come to a large park and wetland boardwalk where you can see birds and a flying fox colony. I highly recommend this walk - brochures and a map are in the park.

We stayed for a weekend in a studio unit. Unit was very clean and comfortable bed - everything we needed. Whilst a concert in Port was cancelled due mini cyclone we still had a great weekend. The park coped very well cleaning up damage from storm and were fantastic with communication. Great to be able to walk everywhere. I left some clothing in the unit which staff happily posted back to me. Many thanks - we will back.

The center of the city is beautiful, walking distance to the sea, shopping malls, shopping streets, restaurants. The scenery and facilities are great! Even if the weather didn't catch up haha, Da Laoyuan flew over from Tianjin and thought that he could see the sunny summer. After that, the city would be full of smoke from the mountains.

Good location, centrally located in the town, 8 minutes walk to the shopping center and business district. Drive to the beach for 2-3 minutes and walk for about 15 minutes. Hotel service is OK, that is, the front desk after 19 o'clock, to get off the phone in the back door of a white telephone box to call 9, open the door.

We purchased a one hour session for 2 adults and 3 children 12-14 years old. It was hilarious fun. Us parents used muscles we haven’t used in years and the kids loved doing the activities together as a family. One hour of time was not enough time to do the whole course but it was plenty of time to have loads of fun. You can purchase a two hour pass which is probably a good idea if you want to try out everything on offer. Everyone comes off the course between sessions & you don’t have to use the 2 sessions back to back. Excellent family fun and very well run.
