Billabong Zoo is a must see when visiting Port Macquarie. The zoo is easy to get around and can book personal up close encounters with some of the animals such as Koalas, meerkats, red pandas, snow leopards, cheetahs, little monkeys and if you are game snakes. The highlight for me is always the Meerkats. For the little ones you can get food to feed the kangaroos. Lunch at the zoo was very reasonably priced and delicious. Sea Acres boardwalk through the rainforest followed by morning tea or lunch should also go on the list. Westport Bowling Club is great value for money for dinner and a lovely club overlooking the Hastings River. For a lovely Sunday afternoon drink with live entertainment head to The Beach House in the Royal Hotel overlooking the Hastings River.

Loved the emphasis on wildlife especially koalas. Visited koala hospital and Sea Acres. Beautiful. Town had all the shops you'd want...some good clothing shops and Book Face. Also loved Hello Koala shop.

Very clean. Great location. Very quiet considering we were on the ground floor close to the street. It seemed that the bathroom had been recently renovated as it looked quite modern. We were in a large 4WD, so parking was a bit tight. Undercover parking was available but we had to remove our aerial (which was not a problem.) Would definitely stay here again for an overnight stop.

Perfect destination not too far if travelling by car so much to do Variety of beaches to suit your needs lots of coastline to explore Port also now offers lots of extra curricular activities aside from beaches recommend Facebook app “ what’s on in port Macquarie “

The beautiful scenery around the river & beaches. Town Beach for a swim was perfect. Good seafood & chips at Lighthouse Beach fish & chip shop. Old RSL Club was perfect for our evening meal with good facilities & a great view of the river. Port Macquarie is easy to get around by car or on foot. Even though our visit was in school holidays it wasn't too busy or overcrowded. Good fishing, boat hire was reasonably priced. Lovely parks & gardens.

If you love beach holidays - this is a perfect spot. Mixes the comfort of a small (not overcrowded) Town with SPECTACULAR beaches. Probably best for families. Food is better than average, with some nice options for breakfasts. Lots of activities for all ages. but my #1 reason to go back would be the beaches and their proximity to everything else you might need for a teenage kids family.
