I recently stayed at Natlia's home. The bedroom was clean and the bed was uber comfortable...so much so that i couldn't get outta bed some days! Natalia is a warm and generous host and open to as much interaction as guests wish. One night she invited guests to a bbq and cooked up a storm. The house is close to a beautiful beach but to access port maquarie town for sights and shopping, a car is recommended. Highly recommended and i hope to come back one day!
