We stayed with Jenny and Doug for an extended period and found them to be great hosts who opened up their home to us. We were keen to pick up local knowledge of Port Macquarie and both Doug’s and Jenny’s involvement in the local community meant they had a wealth of local information to share. Their home is right on the Hastings river and it was not unusual to see stingrays at play while having breakfast and a little further down the river dolphins also.

You should be aware that their home is on the other side of the river which requires a ferry crossing and while adding a unique dimension for longer stays (like ours) this can be somewhat tedious although Jenny helped out with a pass so no added cost.

In short a unique and quiet place to stay with terrific hosts.
