Thankyou for having us
Pros:

Location was wonderful five star

Cons:

For the price and star rating the little inclusions were disappointing, there really were not any
Air conditioner was too hot for winter and even when we navigated how to put it onto the cooling setting it was still to hot

Location and pleasant experience.
Pros:

Rydges is right on the water’s edge at Port Macquarie and a great spot. We had a north facing room with a balcony and enjoyed the river inlet and open sea views. The staff from house keeping, dinning room and even the maintenance team were all very helpful. The reason maintenance was mentioned, was due to a leaking tap in our bathroom that was fixed within 30 minutes of reporting it to the front desk. The onsite trade person was very polite and prompt. Well done to Rydges for having these people on their team as they can make or break your stay experience.
