Port Macquarie, NSW

Port Macquarie is an absolute gem on the New South Wales coast, known for its stunning beaches, gorgeous hinterland, and friendly community. Whether you’re a local or just popping in for a visit, it’s an ideal place to relax and explore. And if you’re looking to spend the night [or a few] there are plenty of accommodation options, from hotels and motels to family-friendly caravan parks.
We adore Port Macquarie’s natural beauty with beaches like Flynn’s Beach and Lighthouse Beach, perfect for swimming, surfing, and catching rays. Walk the iconic Coastal Walk from Town Beach to Tacking Point Lighthouse for killer ocean views and maybe even spot some dolphins or whales. Plus, the dining scene is excellent with many cafes and eateries to hit up. And you can’t miss the Koala Hospital for serious cuteness and a chance to learn about koala conservation.
Check out the charming towns around Port Macquarie too. Camden Haven has beautiful rivers and beaches at North Haven, Laurieton, and Dunbogan. They are ideal for kayaking, fishing, and munching on fresh seafood. Wauchope & Hinterland are perfect for scenic drives through rolling hills and dreamy forests, with opportunities for stops at local farms and a chance to step back in time to the 1800s at Timbertown Heritage Theme Park. And if you’re into hiking and nature walks, Bago Bluff National Park is worth a visit. With a warm welcome everywhere, Port Macquarie, Camden Haven, and Wauchope are perfect for all.
