Some of the amenities offered by this motel include modern climate control (a/c) in addition to a ceiling fan, a refrigerator + mini-bar, microwave, electric kettle, dishes, extra pool towels, 24hr pool access, and parking beneath the building. The efforts to modernize the room were very apparent and well-appreciated, although the room/building itself did show a few signs of age and wear - to be expected at almost 0 less/night than hotel rooms in town with the same features.
The staff seemed friendly and attentive. The free DIY continental breakfast consisted of coffee, tea, two types of toast, several cereals, several juices, and two types of milk - although for some reason there was no "plain" orange juice and they seemed to run out of jam the 2nd morning we were there. I guess the early bird catches the toast.
Port Macquarie offers several small-to-medium beaches surrounded by paths providing moderate exercise and lovely lookout points, and also claims to offer Koala spotting and Camel rides (we missed out on those).
We enjoyed a flavorful meal at the Wall of China Chinese Restaurant, which so far we can recommend, and dessert with freshly-pressed waffle cones at the local Baskin Robbins. If you'd rather promote Aussie commercialism, never fear - there is a Cold Rock right down the street. The town boasts several Asian restaurants and a Mexican restaurant as well as a Hog's Breath Cafe and a Pancake Place, among others.
