Hibbard Vacation Rentals

"We stayed one night on the way to Byron Bay from Newcastle. It was a good stay. The price was quite high for where it's situated. Also a canal view means the car park and a creek in the very background. A 10 min walk into the CBD. It was quiet though and room was clean and standard hotel upgrade. Better options closer to CBD for the price though. "

"Nice, clean, convenient and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The coffee machine needs to be looked at, when you put a pod in most of the liquid goes into the waste where the used pods go and the fridge was leaking on the tiles. Personally, would not stay there again in that room. There was a street light right out the front of the room, if I was on a higher floor it would be better. Also could hear people doing skids around the roundabout in the wet. Not the worst place to stay, but there is better. "

"Room clean but furniture a bit sparse ."

"Clean room with good AC"

"Helpful and friendly staff. The accommodation was very clean and it had every thing we needed. Walkable to the river and shops and we had a lovely view from our balcony."

"Comfortable stay. Location is excellent. Easy check in and underground parking kept the car cool. Rooms were spacious. Had one use soap, shampoo and conditioner so if staying a few days you may have to ask for more. "

"A perfect coastal escape with stunning ocean views and a relaxed holiday vibe. I recently stayed at Mantra The Observatory in Port Macquarie and was genuinely impressed. The location is unbeatable—right across from Town Beach and just a short stroll into the town centre, making it incredibly convenient for both relaxing and exploring. The apartment was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with a private balcony offering beautiful ocean views. Waking up to the sound of the waves was definitely a highlight. The rooms felt comfortable and modern, with everything you need The facilities were also a standout—there’s a heated indoor pool, spa, and sauna, perfect for unwinding after a day out. The secure parking and free Wi-Fi added to the overall convenience. What really makes this place special is the combination of location and atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing beach getaway or a base to explore Port Macquarie, it ticks all the boxes. Overall: A fantastic stay with beautiful views, great amenities, and an ideal location. I would definitely return and recommend it to anyone visiting the area."
