Sails Port Macquarie - By Rydges

Stayed here for a long weekend get away and catching a show. Sails is good hotel in a great location, close to bars, restaurants and the local club. Ate at the restaurant one night and we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the meals. They do stiff you with car parking fees, which I think is a little rich. However we got a good deal on room rates, so not too bothered. Overall a great place for a getaway in Port Macquarie.

Staff were very friendly. Meals were great. Room was spacious. Can’t fault.

Stayed a total of 4 nights at Sails this week starting from Anzac day, visiting the region for my cousin's wedding. Very enjoyable stay, staff were lovely and the room was spot on. Rooms every RYDGES I have stayed at in years seem to have similar decor and fittings so you know what to expect. The foyer and common areas are wonderful really, having been renovated since my last stay. For two nights I stayed with my mum so the beds were set up as singles, and then after mum moved onto the next port of call it was reverted to a king bed, which did provide a much greater sleep. The pool and spa facility at this hotel is wonderful. Clean, warm and very well maintained. Day two it was a little over chlorinated (auto system that rallied up due to 2 inches of overnight rain) resulting in a trip over the road to the chemist for some eye drops. Certainly fixed the next day by Brad, the very pleasant maintenance chap who has been there over 20 years. Says a bit to me about the workplace. The setting is great. Shops and a good community club across the road with a few nice eat out places as well, and stunning views of the Hastings River Breakfasts were amazing. Dinner at the Boathouse was pretty good too. Overall, It would be solid recommendation from me. Good for the kids if you were having a family stay, just make sure you get a bif enough room for all of you.
