The apartment itself is very well styled and was clean. Whilst close to a beach, the location and neighbourhood isn’t that appealing. We were advised there is a car space with the property but it appears there is one space for 3 apartments so first in best dressed as they say and our car was parked in the street overnight. Communication from the hosts was great up to the point of asking about the parking when they ignored a message I sent. A little over priced based on other places we’ve stayed.

Really enjoyed our stay here, very comfortable and everything you need provided. Hiccup with parking on arrival which wasted 20 minutes was a minor annoyance. Probably not quite as close to the town as we thought but a couple of lovely local restaurants within walking distance so for an overnight stay it was perfect. Lovely property would definitely recommend.

Such a lovely unit, beautifully clean, warm soft bedding. Light and bright. We loved that there was great security lighting so as two women coming home late we felt very safe. Just down the road fron the beach and a great cafe and patisserie. Nice quiet street and only minutes frim the cafes and restaurants in town. We will be definitely staying here again.

First time visit Port. Just stay to visit Charles Stuart Uni. Very nice and organised place. However our parking permitted spot was taken in second day but it has plenty of off street parking. We would love to stay again if it’s available.

Very clean and tidy. Great location within walking distance to the beaches. Our little puppy was allowed to stay and the unit was super clean and fresh. The beds were super comfortable and the linen very fresh and nice too. The kitchen while little had everything we needed - super well equipped with all the little extras which was great! Would recommend and hope to stay again sometime!

We stayed here with our dog for our last night of the holiday heading back to Sydney. While the size of the apartment was good and it felt bright and welcoming, the quality was low considering what we paid after fees etc. Beds were very hard, fly screens were broken, the fans only worked in bedrooms with the light on, the lounge was stained, towels were old and very scratchy.

Travelling from Queensland to Sydney for a 50th anniversary and needed an overnight stay for myself my service pup and family. Salt by the sea was great and Gloria the host was very helpful from the start to the end. You must go have dinner and a beer over at The Local Flynn’s beach on Ocean st.

Fantastic space for myself, partner and dog. Perfect for our stopover on way to Byron; however Port Macquarie is so beautiful we wish we’d had a bit longer time there. Bed was so comfy, clean and bright apartment space with everything we needed. Location was great - nice and quiet and just a short walk to stunning beaches and lots of cafes / restaurants nearby for easy dinner.
