Warm, comfortable and cosy and exactly what I wax looking for in.
Pros:

Warm, cosy and nice location adjacent to rainforest walk and walkable beach. Loved the quirky townhouse.

Cons:

Not good value for money. Location was suitable for me because of proximity to family. However much cheaper high quality options near City Centre and beaches. The narrow curved stairs hilts cute woukd not be good for anyone with mobility problems.

A great relaxing location!
Pros:

Shelley beach Resort was located in a beautiful quiet area just out of Port Macquarie.
It provided us everything we needed for a 4 night stay.
We were just across the road from beautiful bush walks and a short distance from beaches.
