Hotels near Macquarie Nature Reserve

"A perfect coastal escape with stunning ocean views and a relaxed holiday vibe. I recently stayed at Mantra The Observatory in Port Macquarie and was genuinely impressed. The location is unbeatable—right across from Town Beach and just a short stroll into the town centre, making it incredibly convenient for both relaxing and exploring. The apartment was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with a private balcony offering beautiful ocean views. Waking up to the sound of the waves was definitely a highlight. The rooms felt comfortable and modern, with everything you need The facilities were also a standout—there’s a heated indoor pool, spa, and sauna, perfect for unwinding after a day out. The secure parking and free Wi-Fi added to the overall convenience. What really makes this place special is the combination of location and atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing beach getaway or a base to explore Port Macquarie, it ticks all the boxes. Overall: A fantastic stay with beautiful views, great amenities, and an ideal location. I would definitely return and recommend it to anyone visiting the area."

"rooms getting a bit tired and lacking maintenance, bed not as comfortable as some better value stays"

"Fantastic view. The view and location were excellent. While the room was very compact, it met our needs. The Lady at the front desk was helpful with obtaining some ice for us."

"Great stay!"

"The property was great. Except...our bed was not made? Linens folded and set on the bed, and there is no shower supplies included, or at least they were not left for us. No shampoo, or body wash seems kinda weird. Just a few things that most tenants expect. Otherwise, it was quiet, clean and very comfortable."

"Was a stopping point for my family heading north, what an amazing hotel, great spot on the water. Breakfast was great, lovely staff. "

"Pleasant stay, very convenient location. Staff very nice and helpful. Room a bit dated and only 1 pillow each but otherwise happy! "
