We had a fabulous week at The Waves Penthouse. Randolph was an excellent host, friendly and very responsive to questions. The apartment living area is huge as is the kitchen, which is really well equipped. Very easy to cook at home if you want a night in. The beds were super comfy also. The local area was great, very easy walk to Flynn's Beach at the end of the street which in our opinion, was the pick of Port Macquarie's beaches (closely followed by Shelly Beach just to the south). At Flynn's, you'll find Sandbox Cafe. Excellent coffee and great food open until mid-afternoon. Enzo's Italian has fabulous pizza just around the corner. We'd highly recommend Bandwagon Cafe, Whalebone Restaurant, Cassegrain Winery (lunch & wine tasting) & Bago Maze & Winery. In Wauchope, grab some bread or a toastie at Baked Culture (yummy sourdough). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!
