"This is probably the best motel I've ever stayed in! I had a lovely room with balcony overlooking the beautiful garden. Great kitchenette with it's own sink (ehu3ch is unusual in my experience) and everything necessary for a short stay, including a bottle opener/corkscrew. Great shower and fresh towels each day. There's a chippy and pizza shop round the corner and it's just a short walk into town to beaches, restaurants and shops. Easy parking and a laundry room for us travellers. The owners were lovely and friendly. I'd definitely stay here again if I ever find myself in Port Macquarie again."

Port Aloha Motel

Port Aloha Motel

"I decided to choose Port Aloha as my 3 night stay in Port Macquarie. I based my decision on its room prices and its location to eateries and other town facilities. People might not like the actual motel location as its not close to the jetty or beach locales. Plus its up a hill, but i didnt mind the walk. The motel itself does show its age, compared to other hotels built in the last 5 to 10 yrs. The room itself was clean & tidy, has a functional kitchenette with a sink, microwave, toaster. There is plenty of areas to store things in drawers. The bathroom/ shower was clean as well. People who have mobility issues would have to choose the 4 lower level rooms. If you like to use stairs, this motel is right for you. I only needed to speak to the receptionist when I arrived and she was a cooperative person. I found the motel wi fi signal to be strong and consistent. The car park in the back has limited spaces. An extra large car might be a tight fit in there. A car with a trailer would be a stretch. There is parking spots on the outside street. Motel shares the street with residential housing too. I would choose this motel if I was returning to this area"

"This unit would have been perfect for us and our dogs, except for one thing. There are three steps up from the living room to the bedroom and bathroom, and no hand rail. For older people like us, this was a hazard. Not a problem for the young and fit, but a bit dangerous for those of advanced years."
