Apartment in Harrington
5 out of 5 average rating, 5 reviewsHarrington Marina Magic
We really enjoyed Lisa’s place. Harrington was a beautiful quiet coastal town with lots of walking tracks around the water. Our son spent his days kayaking and fishing directly out our back door. Lisa was great to communicate with and responded quickly. The unit was lovely and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Would definitely stay again.

Apartment in Mitchells Island
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 42 reviewsThe Hay Shed
The place was gorgeous, peaceful with a stunning view. We would highly recommend visiting and staying at The Hay Shed! My partner and I were welcomed by not only Stella and Ian, but their pretty dogs Harley and Sasha; our pup did not feel left out. I would strongly recommend this place for couples looking for their city escape, and perhaps small families or groups too. The place had ample space and plenty of amenities. There is more space than what we had expected from the photos, and a covered area outside with chairs and bbq to top it off. The location was great, incredibly accessible with clear instructions from the host, you have Old Bar just a short drive away, and Forster and Taree a bit further out if you need something more. There are heaps of local businesses worth visiting too! All in all, great place, give it a visit!

4.79 out of 5 average rating, 29 reviewsApartment directly across from the beach
Gorgeous apartment. Comfortable, well appointed and perfect. Location is the key. Directly opposite lighthouse beach. Coast cafe the best coffee and breakfast menu. Short drive to the town centre of PM. A 5 star apartment. Clare is indeed a super host. Can’t wait to stay again. Value for money. 😊

Apartment in Toms Creek
5 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviewsAvalon River Retreat - 400 acre platypus oasis
My partner Ryan and I stayed three nights at Sophie’s beautiful property. The cabin itself was spacious and very clean, Sophie was very accommodating and always available if we needed her. We thoroughly enjoyed lazing by the creek in the natural rock pool and were even lucky enough to see a platypus which was a real treat for us never having seen one in the wild before. There is plenty to see and explore on the farm but for the most part we simply enjoyed taking in the scenery and watching the animals. Highly recommend Sophie’s place and look forward to our next visit. -Isabella

Peaceful, relaxing, and very cozy - are a few words to sum up Alli and Isaac's humble abode. The house was well presented and very tidy. It felt like a home away from home. Alli and Isaac went above and beyond to provide a summary guide to Port Macquarie and the best places to go - paired with a nice welcoming gift! Communication was also excellent. Will definitely be staying here again in the near future.

The first thing you notice about The Boat House is the amount of space and options for sleeping, socialising and engaging in activities. The attention to detail, from catering to supplying everything a family might need for an enjoyable stay, is outstanding. My favourite part of the experience was the beautiful view over the water while dining on the verandah. The Boat House is perfect for families and multiple couples.

Shaun's house is very clean, comfortable, beautiful and peaceful. We really had happy days at there. It's the best place to have healing and good rest.

Home in Rawdon Island
5 out of 5 average rating, 21 reviewsLittle House on the River
Loved this place, only wish we’d stayed longer. Guest house, overlooking the water, with beautiful green grass. 15min inland from Port Mac, so far away enough to be out of the hustle, but not too far from everything you need. Super relaxing and quiet. Bed was really comfortable. Neil caught a mud crab, cooked it up for us, first time eating for us, and it was absolutely delicious . Will make a point of trying to get back here one day soon.

Home in Diamond Beach
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 35 reviewsDiamond Daze | Beachfront & Views
We primarily booked the house due to the location. With three kids and a large dog, 30 steps to an off leash was too good to pass up. But the house surpassed all our expectations, and is one of our all-time favourite AirBnBs. It was pristine, perfectly kitted out in terms of kitchen (eg the right utensils, not drawerfuls of them!), bathroom (lovely new products in all bathrooms) and bedrooms (clean and abundant fresh linen). The house felt like home as soon as we walked in - with the kids and dog having their own floor (two bedrooms, pool table, tv, access to enclosed garden), with the parents upstairs (master bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, tv lounge). Walk to the beach was just too easy via side gate. BBQ and balcony rounded it all off. We also found the local takeaway was fantastic (just taken over by the Belo restaurant, which was also great). Fish & Chips, premium burgers, wraps etc. Pizza place also very good. Just misses a convenience store, but Foodworks 8 min drive down the road.

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 87 reviewsThe Bourne Experience Seaside Stunner.
We loved Anthony’s home, it was so beautiful and peaceful. The pool, backyard and views were the highlight. The house is a little run down but that is to be expected for a property that allows pets. That being said, it had everything we needed for our weekend away with our dogs who loved the dog beach across the road and the enclosed back yard. The fruit and veg garden were an added pleasure also! We wouldn’t hesitate to book again, thanks for having us.

Beautiful place, it’s always a pleasure to stay there. Close to everything. The house is spotless and the yard is so lovely. Would recommend these hosts. We always feel so welcome when we arrive. This time we had fresh milk, English muffins and biscuits, there is always plenty of coffee, tea and the essentials. Thank you ☺️
