The Hotel – Newly renovated coastal serenity by the Hastings River
Tucked along the sparkling shores of the Hastings River, this revitalised retreat captures the laid-back spirit of Port Macquarie with a fresh sense of style. Every space – from the contemporary rooms to the light-filled lobby inspired by Art Deco elegance – has been thoughtfully reimagined to reflect the surrounding coastal landscape and deliver a sanctuary where comfort meets calm.
The riverside location places guests at the heart of one of New South Wales’ most picturesque regional hubs, where surf beaches, subtropical rainforests, heritage trails and a thriving food and wine scene are all within easy reach. If you’re travelling between May and November, you can even spot humpback whales making their annual migration from the shore.
Zebu brings the experience closer to the water, with modern Italian-inspired fare served against a backdrop of boats drifting by and the glow of golden-hour sunsets. Back at the hotel, unwind with a dip in the outdoor pool and jacuzzi, soak up river views from the terrace or retreat to the cool comfort of stylish interiors. Secure underground parking, easy access to trails and beaches, proximity to the Glasshouse Entertainment Centre and the town’s galleries, boutiques and cafes make this a standout base for exploring the Mid North Coast – whether you’re here to celebrate, switch off or simply soak in the scene.
