Port Mac stayz
Pros:

Port Mac is a favourite halfway stop for us between the Tweed and Sydney. I love that our room had a great ocean view and you can hear the ocean at night. The beds are super comfy. A great stay!

Cons:

It can be a little noisy. Could have used a microwave but not a deal breaker.

Port Macquarie is a great place to visit.
Pros:

Cooking facilities and an easy walk into the town.

Cons:

It would have been good if there was an option for a large bed in each room instead of 2 singles in 1.
