Shannon's apartment is located within easy walking distance to the beach, great restaurants and the town centre. It was spacious and very comfortable. We had a lovely stay here with our dog, who enjoyed the fully fenced backyard. Shannon was excellent in his communication with us and responded to our questions promptly. A couple of surprises we found: there is a washing machine but no dryer which would have been useful when it was raining on our arrival with lots of dirty clothes, and there was no airconditioning, except for a small portable unit in the main bedroom and no overhead fans so we were a bit uncomfortable with the heat. The windows, however, are fully screened and easily opened which allows for some relief from the heat. Shannon's place is definitely worth staying at if you are having a stopover in Port Macquarie.
