A perfect introduction to Port Macquarie.. and equally perfect for my first time staying in a bnb.
After careful planning to stay somewhere that didn’t feel like a hotel and was close to the Pacific Ocean, I stumbled upon Nobby’s 9.
Close to everything, beautiful scenery from each room’s balcony, a quiet apartment complex with secure front door and lock up garage (USA sized utes won’t fit it there).
There were builders on each side of the property at the time of my stay (June ‘26), one property in early stages of development. Something to be mindful of if you’re planning on quiet mornings.
Carefully thought out are the items left in cupboards around the unit, all the things you would need to accommodate a long term or short term stay.
Being from a cooler part of the country.. I was warm enough in June without using any of the electric heaters. If I was staying in summer, would be struggling without an A/C unit I think. I’m yet to experience a NSW summer so can’t confirm.
The listing instructs tenants to bring along their own linen which I did, there were also spare pillow cases and quilt covers in the rooms along with on the beds.
After staying a week, I opted to stay again for another 7x nights.. wonderfully homely and peaceful.
The view during the days and the purr of the Pacific Ocean during the nights, simply amazing.
When driving, less than 2x of your favourite tracks to get into town.
Morning walks are beautiful.
Highly recommended
