Great location, clean and tidy, quite spacious, friendly hosts.

This cottage was absolutely beautiful and clean. Diana and family were friendly and courteous. Would stay again.

The apartment and Diana were exceptional. Super clean and well appointed, a great stay. With ample space and fully outfitted, the stay lacked nothing. Great park nearby with a variety of stores made the stay better than imagined. Diana and her family were very warm and welcoming. I look forward to returning to this amazing property.

Perfect for 2 people looking for a quiet, safe, clean place with all the necessary amenities, near the lake, the beach, the shops and the Bowlo. It suited my son and I perfectly, and the hosts are a very lovely family. Very affordable over the Easter school holidays too Levi and Matt April 2017

Perfect place for our little family - highly recommend this place to others! Diana is such a wonderful host, pays attention to details, communicates well. The cottage is modern and comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Had a great experience and will definitely be back there soon!

Diana was a wonderful host, being driwndly, welcoming and accommodating to our family's needs whilst also giving us our privacy. The cabin was well presented and meticulously clean. The full kitchen and laundry was also a great addition. Location was fantastic (especially for children), being a stones throw from beach, lake and playground, and a very short drive to local supermarket. I would certainly recommend this accommodation to others!

Stylish colour co-ordinated well appointed accommodation. Friendly and helpful hosts. Lake Cathie a great base for visiting the Port Macquarie area

The cottage was super clean, fresh and light. Great location across from Lake Cathie, super comfortable and relaxing stay!

My little family stayed at these gorgeous apartments last weekend. On arrival both Ellen & Matt were very welcoming and this continued throughout our 2 night stay. Matt was only too helpful to bring us up to speed on our surroundings and the apartment itself was so cosy with an amazing view from every angle. The bed was so big and you just melted on the most beautiful soft sheets. My 5 month old was with us and slept perfectly the whole time we were away. Couldn't fault these apartments or the welcoming hosts, would definitely recommend.. Lovely customer service and just all round welcoming Thanks Ellen & Matt for our wonderful stay Adele xx

What a hidden gem Saltwater Apartments are. The accommodation was fantastic, the bed was amazingly comfortable. The ocean across the road is breathtakingly beautiful. Loved the cooked breakfast that came to the door. Wonderful hosts, wonderful break. Can't wait to visit again.

Great experience at Saltwater. 10 meters from the beach. Beautiful decor and spa :-) Matt and Ellen were lovely and so relaxed. Would stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Salt water apartments! From the moment we arrived we were happily greeted by matt who showed us around the apartment and made sure we were comfortable and knew where everything was and gave us the down low on everything local. We would certainly go back and would recommend it to everyone we know! Plus the view is amazing and the apartment was so clean and well looked after.

Great location. Unit was very nicely decorated. Clean and comfortable. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed all the thoughtful extras such as coffee pods, bathroom products and easter eggs with a welcome note!

Stayed a week in December /January. Absolutely had a blast. Fantastic location with great views. Owners were super friendly and insightful. Would definitely come back again!

The bed was very comfortable and the location as per the photo is accurate. If you looking to get away from the hustle and bustle, then this is a great place, but if you want to be located near where everything is then you should look elsewhere. The manager on site was Great! All in all it was a pleasant stay, but not quite what I was expecting.

What a lovely place, we had an awesome few days following Ironman Australia. The unit had fantastic views of the ocean as it's directly opposite the beach. The unit had everything we needed and has a comfortable bed and is very quiet. Matt was a friendly and helpful host. We are definitely coming back as we fell in love with the area.

Jenny was a wonderful host and made us feel right at home. Nans Beach house is in a great location and the house was well appointed and stocked. Really enjoyable experience. Thanks Jenny.

What a wonderful place. The pictures don't do it justice, the view is wonderful, its a nice quiet part of the world and we had the perfect week's stay at Nan's Beach House. The place is super clean and loads of space with everything you need, plenty to entertain the kids with and a view that changes daily. For anyone considering the stay I cannot say enough positive things about the host who is super friendly or the house. Even the cat is friendly and laid back! It was a much needed break from the stress of city living and we begrudgingly left after a week that flew by feeling relaxed, calm and stress free. Thank you for having us and being such a fantastic host for first timers like ourselves. We will return!

Wow what a top place!! Jennifer our host at Nan's Beach House welcomed us when we arrived, we were given the royal tour of Jennifer's house and were very impressed with the layout of the house and great view across to the beach from the front verandah. We booked for two nights and the location at Lake Cathie was very handy to we were going the next day. Bill & Collene

The location of the house is stunning, with views just like the photo - we loved sitting on the huge sunny deck. Jennifer was just lovely and my children loved the breakfast supplies. The fire is very cosy in front of the big TV.

Jennifers place is great, it has a wonderful location and, since Jennifer often lives there herself, lots of useful "things", such as a good selection of cooking utensils, if that's what you need. The sun is on the veranda in the morning, we had some wonderful breakfasts there, accompanied by the sound of the waves. When we arrived, Jennifer came by to greet us and took our oldest son into the garage to look at her fishing gear, which she generously allowed him to use freely. Also worth mentioning, there was breakfast items in the fridge, and a folder with lots of useful information on fx. the electric devices in the house. In other words, Jennifer is the most hospitable and friendly host you could wish.

Our second stay at Jen's house and we'll be coming back for a third. It's a great place and has Jen is the best host we've met and really makes it a home away from home. Highly recommended, especially with little ones!

As returning guests, our family once again had a fantastic stay at Nan's Beach House. We love the location, the house and the items available for the guests to use - kid's toys, kayaks, bbq, patio furniture, etc. From all our family, thanks again for helping us to have such a great holiday that will provide us with so many wonderful memories. We look forward to returning again next year.

Everything was perfect. Location, communication with Jennifer and equipment for the kids all exceeded expectations. We will be back!

Suzanna made me feel totally welcome and was very forthcoming about showing me the sights of the beautiful lake and beach at Lake Cathie. In fact, we took her adorable dog Boo Boo for a walk on the virtually deserted beach and later had dinner together at the local bowling club (I can highly recommend the garlic prawns!) The atmosphere in Suzanne's house was very relaxed and easy-going. The bedroom was very quiet and I had a beautiful night's sleep. I would definitely go and stay with Suzanne again. She's delightful company.

Gary and Suzanne are excellent hosts and made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed our stay there and would definitely return.

Nice stay, nice and clean bedroom and private bathroom. Suzanne is a lovely host.

My husband, daughter & I had a short but lovely stop over at Suzanne & Gary's beautiful home. They were very warm & friendly, the house was spotless, the beds were comfortable, & we were made to feel very much at home. It was a welcome break during a long trip. We would definitely stay again & came away feeling we had made new friends.

Sue was lovely, very inviting and welcoming :-) she had a clean house, we had a good night sleep and shower was great to! Great for our pit stop!

Great spot. Would recommend.

Suzanne was great, very welcoming and made us feel comfortable in her house. The house was easy to find and in a nice quiet street.

Suzanne was a wonderful host and welcome us into her beautiful home. She gave us wonderful advise on Lake Cathie and to eat at the Lawn Bowling club restraint. Great prices and large portions soy wife and I shared. Went for a swim in her beautiful salt water pool and later had a wonderful relaxing de stressing massage. I felt less stressed and had a better sleep because of the massage. Recommend 200% this B&B and great breakfast sitting on the patio with our tea.

Had a great stay at saltwater apartments. Beautiful views, very clean, well equipped. Matt met us on arrival and showed us around, he was great. Location couldn't be better, right beside lake and beach. Pool and spa were fantastic! Thank you, we will be back!

What a wonderful place to stay, with the beach literally across the (very quiet) road, it was lovely waking up every morning to the sun rising over the ocean. The apartment is very neat and clean, well appointed for those who like cooking, and has a nespresso machine for making coffee. Hosts Matt and Ellen were lovely hosts, always happy to help, and very genuine and friendly.

Matt met us when we first arrived which was fabulous. He explained some helpful local things and importantly showed us how to use the spa. These things set us up well for our stay. We were definitely made to feel welcome and although the apartments were booked out it seemed no problem. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and particularly liked the balcony with the fabulous view. We also really liked that the place was so clean and everything was really nice and modern. We have now asked about going back to stay at a later date as it was so fabulous.

Matt & Ellen were very friendly & welcoming hosts, they were extremely accommodating to any of our needs. The accommodation was really nice and clean beautifully furnished and well equipped with everything we needed. Great location with amazing Sea Views, local facilities were good & only a short drive to Port Maquarie. Highly Recommend :)

We had such a relaxing stay in Ellen's neat and tidy apartment. And what a fab location!! Loved hearing the crashing of the waves at night and relaxing by the lovely pool. Thanks Ellen!

Great spot, great people.

Superb apartment only meters from the beach. I only got to stay here for 1 night but loved my time here, would definitely come back again!

Saltwater Apartments are really unique, as you can watch the ocean and the lake/river at the same time! The view is amazing, especially for the price! Ellen and Matt were easy to contact, friendly and made our stay comfortable and relaxed. They have done a beautiful job in decorating the apartments with lovely coastal, clean furnishings. The location is perfect, you can walk to everything you need, and there are plenty of swimming options. It was lovely to have fresh coffee, soft linen and a great selection of toiletries.

One of the best Airbnb experiences so far. Cherie and Jean-Louis were extremely hospitable and friendly, ensuring I was comfortable on arrival. The place is immaculate, bright and homely. I was quite busy so I didnt get the chance to enjoy the space as much as it deserved, with the games, books etc. Value added features like Chromecast, bread and fruit made it even better. A relaxing place for sure. I will definitely stay again next time Im in Port.

Beautiful, clean and private flat located amongst the immaculately kept gardens, on the lower floor of the family home. Cherie had great clear communication making my stay pain free. Every thing you need for a weekend away, only a short distance from Port Macquarie.

Cheryl is a great host. Her house is as welcoming as she. The garden is a pleasure in itself and although the weather was too cool for my visit, I look forward to a swim in the pool next time around.

Cheryl stayed up to wait for me even though I arrived late around 9.30 ish . It was a quick overnighter and I left early in the morning . Everything went smoothly . Thanks Cheryl

It's an excellent house for that price with a small pool. The sight seeing is quite close by and the town is just 7 km away.

Great location if you have a car as it's only a 5-10min drive to the sites and restaurants. Nice, lovely home.

Cheryl was the most welcoming of any Airbnb host that I've ever stayed with. She was such a friendly & helpful person being there to open her garage for me to lock my car in which was something I didn't expect to have a lock up garage included was fantastic. Her home is lovely & my room was very comfortable with a nice firm orthopaedic mattress. The bathroom was immaculate & I enjoyed my lovely hot shower with great pressure. Sitting on her verandah admiring the lovely leafy backdrop & abundance of bird life was very relaxing. The home is about 10 minutes drive from the city centre. A lovely quiet area surrounded by quality homes. I felt very safe in this neighbourhood. I enjoyed our chats & I wish her well. This listing is fantastic value for money & I would thoroughly recommend it as a great place to stay.

Welcoming host, nice clean house quite close to beach. Recommended!

Cheryl is an excellent person and gives me a feel of home even though I'm staying only for one night. Had a nice chat with her. Definitely a nice place to stay if in Port Macquarie.

Welcomed on arrival

Derek was there to greet us and more than helpful with local insights and advice on where to eat.

Derek was an incredible host! Cute, tidy little studio not far from the beach. The perfect stop off on our trip back from Byron. Highly recommend hitting up the dog beach! Highly recommend :)

Great space, beautifully appointed, and overall outstanding value. Derek was a great host. Highly recommended!

Derek's place was excellent! Derek was very accommodating. It was a great private room! I would definitely stay there again!

Exactly what we needed for one night stop over in Port Macquarie. The place was self contained with everything we needed and impeccably clean. Derek was extremely accommodating and helpful.

I arrived very late on a Sunday night but despite this, Derek met me at the door with a warm welcome and showed me through the studio which was very spacious and nicely laid out/decorated. In fact, it's huge! I was looking for an alternative to a motel room and this was perfect. There was a nice breeze through the windows and I took a dip in the pool after my run the next morning. Derek's place is handy to Shelly Beach, which is my favourite in Port and it was handy for morning runs/walks before work. I appreciated the nice little touches, including fresh bread, fruit and even a bottle of red wine. I really appreciated the comfortable bed! Derek was always available by text and he and his family made me feel very welcome. Unfortunately I had to leave early but while in Port for work, I was looking for a quiet, safe, clean and spacious place to stay and that is exactly where I found myself. I certainly preferred this situation, living within a family home but completely independent, rather than a big, impersonal apartment block. There was no traffic noise and a restful ocean view from the studio windows and I found the studio a real haven to come back to each day. Thank you Derek and I hope to see you again.

Derek's place was awesome. We felt very comfortable and the accommodation was perfect. Neighbourhood was quiet and we had a great time at Nobbys beach. Thanks Derek.

We had a very relaxed and yummy hand smelling overnight stay at Derek's studio! Loved the toiletries available for use and the kitchen had everything we needed (tea bags and milk). Communication and directions were excellent and the house is in a really nice part of Port. Derek was flexible and accommodating to our schedule this morning which was much appreciated. Thanks Derek!

We were travelling from Sydney to Byron Bay. Port Macquarie being a perfect over night stop. Mandy's place was clean and easy to get to to.

Absolutely first class! Home from home. Spotless, spacious, self-contained with everything you need and more. Super-friendly and attentive hosts. Highly recommended.

Amanda and Guy are just the best hosts ever! We arrived pretty late and they let us have there left over soup, which was great! The room has a private bathroom and a really, reaaaally comfortable bed. The private fridge, sink, cuttlery and so on gives you everything you need to fix up a salad/sandwich or so, which is perfect. We enjoyed our stay so much, that we decided to return on our way back. We highly recommend to stay here!

The room was wonderfully presented, so clean and private. The attention to detail did not go unnoticed, with fresh milk in a jug in the fridge and little chocolates. The quality of the bedding and towels was superb. We loved the location, so close to the beach and within walking distance to town. Very friendly couple.

Thank you so much for your hospitality Mandy! Claire raved about how lovely the place was... Thank you for making her stay so comfortable. Next time we're in Port Macquarie we know where to stay!

Thanks Amanda for making our stay fantastic and for your warm welcome and tips on things to see and do. The room was really well set up, comfortable and spacious. We will stay with you again for sure.

Amandas place is such a gorgeous gem in Port Macquarie! Exactly as the pictures described but even more cosy and relaxing. She has thought of everything you could possibly need including some sneaky choccies in the fridge :) the bed is so comfy and everything is so clean! Amanda is very welcoming and has such a gorgeous home! We loved waking up looking over the beautiful garden and frangipani tree. Will definitely be back!

Mandy's place is the reason we choose Air Bnb over hotels. We could not have asked for a better experience, room or host. The only problem was that we were only there for one night. We have stayed in many Airbnbs, this is up there as one of the best. We didn't book until late the night before but Mandy was more than accommodating. When we arrived she had made us Anzac cookies, which we enjoyed with a cup of tea (as there is a kitchenette inside the room). The bed was super comfy, we were exhausted so enjoyed an early night in bed watching TV. Mandy was helpful, friendly & extremely welcoming, without being intrusive at all. Likewise the room itself is self-contained, so it is not necessary to go into the main part of the house, although we were welcomed in. We couldn't recommend this place more, and would love to stay again if we are ever passing through.
