Amanda has been a great hostess. From the very start, her communication has been outstanding. During this Covid period having that flexibility of a cancellation was really important to us, which this property allowed. Amanda has those extra special touches which really made it feel like a home away from home... here are a few
- we just walked into the property and had nothing to do, but unpack. The beds were made. What you see in the pictures, is what this house offers.
- The pictures show 4 blue stools for dining and we requested Amanda if these could be replaced. It was a pleasant surprise to see that all 4 stools were replaced with armchairs.
- The fridge was stocked with a carton of milk and there was basic tea and coffee to kick start us
- The toiletries and cleaning products were sufficient for the period we stayed.
- Amanda even provided beach towels, beach chairs which is a big bonus, when you want to travel sensibly. The property has a rather large kayak (not easy to carry to the beach across the road, but hey it is there if you want to use it) and a handy bodyboard too.
The views are fabulous both from the balcony and the main bedroom. While it is on the main road and the traffic adds to the sounds, you do get used to it. The location is super handy - you are just a 5min walk across the road. Flynn beach is patrolled, safe, has a great cafe, and grassed shaded area to just chill.
The double lock garage was perfect for our car and our cycles. And the internal stairs to the apartment just made it super convenient.
The house has central air-conditioning which is handy for those hot days. While we did not want to bother Amanda, 1 bedroom, could have benefited from a fan. Regardless, we all had a very comfortable sleep every night.
Amanda's kitchen has everything you would need when on a holiday. She was very generous with what you could use from her kitchen and her communication and instructions were super clear.
All in all, we had a PANDAstic time at Amanda's Panda Place. Would definitely come back again and have recommended this place to our friends for when the time is right for them.
Port Macquarie is a super holiday destination for those who love the beach and long coastal walks. There is so much to do for all ages and so many beaches to discover.
