First time reviewer - long time view... Stayed here a few times now but most recently last week. I have to say (and I'm sure it would be obvious to anyone reading a "review" of a 4(?) star hotel) that the previous tirade looks a little suspect. The staff and level of care at Rydges in Port is outstanding and... More

Probably should have realised that the disgruntled staff at check-in would be a sign of the terrible stay which was to come. The room was average, with chipped/damaged furniture and dated artworks/decor. "River view room" actually translated to "roof of Zebu" room. Called reception and complained, but they could only offer us a non-balcony room, with no mention of a... More

Truly lovely hotel in very convenient location in Port Macquarie. Riverwalk frontage, close to shops and restaurants and 1 minute walk to shopping centre. This was a l;ast minute booking due to unforseen circumstances with our previous holiday booking - couldn't have asked for more friendly and helpful staff over the phone. It was the same at the hotel -... More

After driving all day down the coast we droped into Rydges at Port Macquarie on the off chance that a room would be available. To our delight they had a King bed room available. Check in was quick and friendly. The view from our room was great, looking over the entrance to Hastings River. Everything was very clean and the... More

Stayed for 3 nights for business. Room size good, cleanliness not so good. Location great, zebu nice, pricey but most of the restaurants in port were pricey. Bit on the noisy side, probably because of its location right on the river and the public walkway. Would probably rather stay at mercure centro but if I couldn't get in there I... More

We ( 2 adults and teenager ) stayed in a water view apartment for 8 nights. As a previous reviewer said - parts of the hotel are looking a bit dated, however, the rooms are spacious, clean and mostly well maintained. Any problems are quickly and efficiently dealt with by helpful and friendly staff. The beds are very comfortable. The... More

My husband and I stayed there just after the renovations 2 nights were very rowdy, 3rd night we did manage to sleep, I sent an email to the GM who actually replied with an apology and offered a free night on our next visit,very very much appreciated his concern. The hotel is really comfortable, and clean, staff were great ,... More

2nd time we have stayed here, this time got a balcony (free upgrade or fortunate mistake) which was very nice and relaxing. Starting to look a bit dated in places (furniture) but still clean and everything was usable and working. This time there was no renovations meaning it was very quiet. Used the pool this time due to the weather... More

My wife and I needed a break so we decided on Rydges at Port. We definitely made the right choice as from arrival to departure the stay was one of the most enjoyable breaks we have ever had including some overseas. The location is fantastic and the staff helpful. Would recommend to everybody if you want a break stay at... More
