My room was fantastic; very spacious, great size TV with Apps. Terriblr service in the bar; had to ask where our cocktails were - he had forgotten them. Later that evening, ordered another 2 cocktails - one came & had to chase the other when realised it wasn't coming. Again, he'd forgotten the other. He checked and yes .we'd paid (++$) for 2! Following morning, I ordered a coffee, waited 10+ minutes before asking how much longer, she'd forgotten?!

This place was a great stay! we booked a family room, the room was huge and the hotel was right on the beach. Port Macquarie is stunning! The beds were so comfortable, the staff were friendly and we even indulged in room service for desert... yum! defiantly recommend the Rydges for your next stay in Port Macquarie, we will be back ;0)

A wonderful 3 night stay during shocking weather that led to the floods. Staying in this wonderful hotel made it all better. We had breakfast included and that was very good. There was no witchetty or toaster but there was a kettle and bar fridge. The bed was very comfortable and the TV perfectly set up to watch TV in bed. The internet dropped out a bit but maybe it was due to the floods. Daily room cleaning was good. We had an ocean view which was perfect. The bathroom was very modern. A classy room. The restaurants down stairs were so great. The staff were exceptional. Any issues we had with the room were addressed straight away. The pool was a bit run down and not heated so we didn't use it.

Stayed in 1 of their recently renovated rooms. Extremely comfortable & spacious. Very helpful & professional staff. Excellent. Reason for the 4 stars is for their gym facility. If it only had 1 multi-station equipment or just a simple rack of weights and a bench instead of multiple rowing, bike and treadmill machines. Thanks guys.

My husband & I stayed at Rydes for the first time on our return trip from Sydney to the far North Coast. Well! I have only good things to say about our experience. I was met at the front desk by Nicole, super welcoming, extremely friendly and helpful. She made me feel comfortable right from the word go. The room had beautiful water views, was spacious & comfortable, had a welcoming balcony with a view of the River and stunning pool. The king bed was very comfortable, and the whole room was extremely clean & fresh. I had a complimentary welcome drink at the bar, followed by an excellent meal from room service, which we enjoyed at our cosy table for two, overlooking the river. We enjoyed a late check out, which allowed us to take a beautiful morning swim in the clean, well cared for swimming pool. What more can I say, except, that we will be back.
