we had the most wonderful time at Betsey's place. they were away for the few days we were there and had some lovely friends welcome us and look after us. we had a great time talking to Giovanni and Jessica. the facilities were the best. having a small separate lounge with TV and videos was a nice way to relax after a busy day. the kitchen area was compact but the sandwich press was ideal to make toast and eggs in the morning. the nice orange juice, home made muesli and fresh fruit supplied was a great way to start the day, sitting at the outdoor setting just outside the door. we were able to walk to Harry's Lookout, short drive then walk along Shelley's Beach all the way to Flynn's beach and then see wales at Lighthouse Beach. the large bathroom with heated towel rails ensured dry towels when we needed them. the 2 bikes were left for us to use. unfortunately we were busy with business and ran out of time to use them. the bed was a little firm for us, the sheets were very smooth and comfortable and we always take our own pillows so cannot comment on theirs. the pool looked inviting but the weather was still a little cool to use it. the visitor information book would be very helpful to first time visitors to Port. we would definitely stay at Betsey's place the next time we visit Port Macquarie.
