We expected the accommodation to be good from the photographs and the location but we were blown away by just how good it is. We arrived at 6pm and it was dark so it wasn't until the morning that we could fully take in the sheer majesty of the view from the house.

The room is decorated in an eclectic style with artifacts and mementos from around the world reflecting Christine and Kym's love of travel. It is a great size and feels individual and homely. In addition, the room is very well thought out and equipped with everything we needed. Christine had taken time to detail local points of interest on a handy map and she had an encyclopedic knowledge of Port Macquarie. There was a good selection of flyers for activities and places to see (Koala Hospital and Chinese Junk Boat were too good to resist). Most importantly the bed was extremely comfortable and we enjoyed a fabulous nights’ sleep.

Bread, vegemite, biscuits, tea and coffee along with a selection of fruit were provided but best of all there was a chilled bottle of wine in the fridge. There was a fast WiFi connection and a good quality shower.

The house is set in a lush garden in a charming neighborhood just a short 15-minute walk from a magnificent beach and commanding lighthouse. We stayed for two nights on our way up to Yamba from Sydney; we enjoyed our stay so much that we also stopped for a night there on our way back.

It is a brilliant location with a world beating view a first-rate room and genuinely lovely hosts. I would wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation.
