We stayed at the Rydges as a stop over from Sydney-Gold Coast. We stayed in a 2 bedroom room which was on the upper level and the view was fantastic. I note from the other reviews about the noise but we stayed on a public holiday and everything was closed. There was some work being done in the park out... More

I really think the management of this hotel have a duty of care to their guests. We stayed the weekend of 18/19 May. My husband was on business and I tagged along for a nice relaxing weekend. Boy - was that a mistake! Room was good (with spectacular view of the roof top)! Bed was comfortable. Decor was ok, although... More

400km north of Sydney and seemed like a perfect place to stop, revive and survive as the road signs kept saying. Got a beautiful room (big enough for a dance class) with views over the river to the glorious sunset. Perfect in every way until the pub next door started a drumming concert at about 8. It finished at 10... More

Hi batsami, Thank you for your review. Sorry to hear your stay didn't meet your expectations. As we are in the centre of town we do have night venues close to us. The rooms closest to the pub have had their windows double glazed so as to help block out outside noise. I believe on this night the front desk... More

Stayed here on the drive from Melbourne to Byron over the Easter break. This was a last minute and late night check in. The front desk reception was excellent with both the phone booking and the 12:30 am check in once we finally arrived. The bed was one of the nicest I've slept in any hotel over the last few... More

This is our third visit to Port - Rydges and did not disappoint. The rooms are OK but could do with a bit of an update as they still are back in the 90's. This is especially relevant for the bathroom as it is a little small and has old style bath / shower combination. Location is the big plus... More

Hey Travelvar, Delighted to read you’ve become a regular Rydges Port Mac guest! Sounds like it has something to do with the great food Zebu dish up. Thanks for understanding and being patient when the lift that was out of order. It has now all been repaired and we have both lifts working again. Look forward to your return visit... More

Overall impressed with view, pool, breakfast and staff. Although pricey for a splurge it was definately worth it. Thanks for a top stay!! Would stay there again and recommend it to others. The pool and spa were awesome as was watching the sunset from our balcony.

Had a four night stay in a large room, the bed was very comfortable as expected from Rydges beds. The facility at this hotel are good, had a lovely breakfast each morning, had one dinner here, a bit slow in getting our meal and a bit pricy. The location of this hotel is good, lookng at the beach.

This might have been a great stay for our family of four. Nice room. Nice location. Problem was that Rydges Port MacQuarie did not deliver on the PriorityGuest Rewards promise. There should have been 20% off dining. T&cs state 'not available at Zebu Bar. However is available in the grill'. It's very hard for the layperson to know what constitutes... More

The priority guest reward discount does only apply to the restaurant and not the bar. When you stayed we had a couple of new staff members... More
