We stayed at Swan Cottage during a trip from Brisbane to Port Macquarie. As a stopover it was light years ahead of staying in a highway hotel. The cottage is gorgeous, with great decor,excellent facilities and lovely rural views. Grafton and the beautiful family friendly pub by the river at Ulmurra are both only a few minutes away, so eating in or going out are both good options. The only thing to be aware of is the fact that the Cottage is close to the highway so you do get traffic noise. Having said that, my wife is very sensitive to noise and she was quite ok with it. The price is reasonable for the standard offered and Katrina was a great host.
