We arrived very late and have been extremely kindly welcomed. We got some additional advise and hints what to do in Port Macquarie and also for our trip forward to Sydney. The room has been very clean, the bathroom was excellent, we had high quality coffee and an amazing view to the river and a balcony: we only stayed one day, but if we come back to Port Macquarie - this is the place to go.

It was great staying at the hotel. The only problem is the rooms were not quite as you can hear the noise from nearby rooms or outside of rooms of running aircon outside units noise and this impacted our sleep. The beds were not comfortable at all. Overall had a restless night during this time. The breakfast was pretty average and not too many choices.

Very clean, modern and comfortable room. The parking was a little more than what you would expect to pay, but the convenience makes up for it.

Great Stay with Beautiful River Views
I recently stayed at Rydges Port Macquarie and had a fantastic experience. The location is perfect—right on the waterfront, with stunning views of the Hastings River and easy access to restaurants, shops, and the beach.
The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with a comfortable bed and a private balcony to enjoy the scenery. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making check-in and check-out smooth and hassle-free.
The hotel’s pool and outdoor area were great for relaxing, and the on-site restaurant served delicious meals, especially the breakfast. Parking was convenient, although it comes at an extra cost.
Overall, Rydges Port Macquarie is an excellent choice for a comfortable and scenic stay in the heart of town. I’d definitely stay here again!

Super new comfortable & clean rooms, excellent location by waterfront. Lobby was bright making everyone refreshed. Staffs are great. Swimming pool is small and nice to have jacuzzi looking out to the ocean. Will be great to have self service laundry. Food was great at Zebu. Love it. Will definitely recommend to any family

Amazing
Posted on Dec 24, 2024
I recently stayed at Rydges Port Macquarie, an EVT Hotel, and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The hotel is beautifully located right by the sea, making it perfect for relaxing walks along the waterfront. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and offered stunning views, which made the stay all the more enjoyable.
The staff were friendly and helpful, adding to the overall pleasant atmosphere of the hotel. However, the breakfast spread was quite average—while it had the basics, it lacked variety and didn’t quite match the high standard of the rest of the hotel.
Overall, it’s a wonderful spot for a seaside getaway, and I’d happily stay again. Hopefully, they’ll enhance the breakfast selection in the future to make the experience even better!

Don't book an economy room!!! I booked an economy room based on the pictures. The facilities and conditions were very poor, like a motel from 20 years ago. Later I asked at the front desk and they said there were newly renovated rooms. The difference was 300 bucks. I didn't expect such a huge difference. It's very strange that the hotel details don't clearly state the difference.

The room was very satisfactory, the check-in efficiency was high, and the hotel service staff was good. The swimming pool and hot spring were comfortable. The hotel was in front of the beach, which was very pleasant. There were graffiti stones on the beach.

Very Good

The location of the hotel is good and it is very convenient to go out. The service staff is very friendly and helpful. The facilities in the room feel a bit old. There is a parking lot behind the hotel, but parking is still a bit troublesome.
