Guest Reviews
- Samantha (10/5): -
- Leonie (10/5): So nice to be met at the Office door and to be personally escorted to the apartment. - Amazing customer service. Wonderful location with superb ocean view. Nice and quiet. Highly recommend and looking forward to a return trip.
- Allana (9/5): -
- Lacey (8/5): Stunning location and very large property. - The view was sensational, such a beautiful way to wake up in the morning.
- Jackie (7/5): -
- Michelle (10/5): Fantastic room with a great spa. - Fantastic location. Clean and very comfortable Nothing
- Anna (7/5): Port Macquarie is beautiful, many Beaches and things to do. - the views were spectacular, beach front location, a walk across the road to the beach. nice coffee shop at the beach, great restaurants within a very short distance. The neighbour above us, kept leaning over the balcony, watching, listening and commenting. Felt uncomfortable we left a day early. App G4.
- Shiralee (9/5): - Location was great. Beautiful views of the beach. Very comfortable apartment.
- Amanda (10/5): Views, comfort and feast location within easy reach of all activities. - Friendly, helpful, informative greeting. Fabulous facility that was clean, spacious, well appointed and secure. N/A
- Joshua (7/5): - Helpful staff, secure parking and great access to the beach Nothing wrong with the room per se; just very basic
- Mark (10/5): - Great beach side location with easy short walk to town.
- Michelle (10/5): -
- Joanne (10/5): Stunning beach side apartment - Upon arrival the staff were absolutely amazing. They show you to your room, take the luggage up and show you all of the amenities. The room was stunning, clean with a fabulous view. Everything was well stocked in the kitchen cupboards. Our room had games, books, DVDs in the loungroom cupboards as well. Very private and secure. I was there for a wedding and my room adjoined the brides room so we could access each other's rooms while getting ready. Secure parking. There is a club/Tavern right behind with good meals. Coffee across the road at the beach and next block down at Milkbar. 100% recommend. I would stay here again. Im used to quite a soft plush bed and I did find the bed and pillows a bit too hard for me.
- Jan (8/5): -
- Ali (10/5): -
- Melanie (8/5): -
- Peter (10/5): - The room was amazing and so was the view
- Heather (9/5): Fantastic stay very relaxing. - The apartment was incredible beautifully laid out. Spa bath view of the ocean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Close to all amenities. Large quiet I would definitely recommend sandcastle apartments. Honestly there were very few negatives regarding the apartment.
The only issue I would say is by a resident of the apartments who was very hostile. She didn’t like that I did press the incorrect button on the lift but I had but she had pressed the button at the same time. She was impatient that we were going to basement and she wanted to go up.
- Andrzej (9/5): Very good, comfortable, well positioned apartment close to everything that matters - Near perfect but we did not expect the main balcony window to be so close to reasonably busy street. Excellent interface with the host Street noise in the main room
- Judith (10/5): Great spot, great view, spacious and tidy - Very spacious, beautiful view, straight across from the beach. Bowling club right out the back. Nothing it was beautiful
- Ann (10/5): -
- PR (7/5): Schoon en ruim appertment. - Schoon. Alles goed geregeld. Ruim appartement Slaapkamer niet donker. Te dunne gordijnen. Slaapkamer aan voorkant erg veel lawaai/verkeer.
- susan (3/5): Fabulous spot for the beach and lovely walks. Easy walk for coffee and restaurants - The apartment was lovely although very bare. The view was fantastic, the furnishings, for the most part were very comfortable. The problem was the back bedroom overlooked the bowls club rubbish collection area and every morning except Sunday rubbish trucks tipped thousands of bottle out of the bins then, with motors running seemed to stay quite a while. Then on the Friday night, the outdoor smokers area turned into a party that went on until at least midnight.
Also the mattress in the back bedroom needs replacing, it’s very saggy on the middle.

- Sandra (10/5): Amazing - View, clean, easy to find food, great service Nothing
- Ken (9/5): Great location lots or room and close to everything - Great location across the road from Town Beach. The bowling club directly behind had great food and drinks at a very reasonable price. No need to drive taxi or Uber to another location for dinner. Nothing

- Angelo (10/5): - The views were spectacular
- david (9/5): Great location, directly across from the beach. A wonderful stay from beginning to end. - Wonderful, friendly Manager & Staff. Location was exceptional. Unit very clean and comfortable, great for 2 people. We are travelling to Sydney July/ August and have rebooked a stayover to break up our drive. Bathroom was a little small but I knew to expect that as description and photos showed exactly that.
- Leonie (4/5): Just ok - It is very old and in need of updating badly
- Steven (9/5): For us, it was a relaxing, easy to get around venue with great views. - We had booked a balcony suite, overlooking the beach. The apartment was in an excellent position, directly across from walking tracks and the beach. The rooms were spacious; the bed was comfortable. An ideal environment to relax in. There was nothing we didn't like.
- Judith (4/5): - Location Unsatisfactory bathroom.
- Pat (9/5): very good - Location and view The key to the garage to get to the rubbish room did not work
- Cathy (9/5): Staff efficient and helpful. - Not enough towels only 2 for the week.
- Erica (10/5): -
- Phil (10/5): -
- Ralph Cadman (9/5): -
- Mal (4/5): - Location is awesome, views on the beach and club right behind Would have been nice to be told unit next door had renovations going on from 7am every morning. And had to get toilet paper 1st night cause it was in bathroom
- Kristy (10/5): Amazing time and view , refreshing to catch up with family - Location and view and layout. Whilst some of the design was odd it was still usable and lovely environment to stay. Open bath room to sleeping area and the glass toilet
- Karen (8/5): -
- Ilona (10/5): - Excellent Nothing
- Southern (8/5): - great view Very noisy cheap toilet seat.
Toilet in glass room next to shower. No privacy.
- Deborah (8/5): -
- Susan (9/5): Excellent overall. - Everything, it was a superb location and a luxury apartment. Would have been nice to have handwashing and moisturiser.

- caroline (10/5): Fabulous apartment in wonderful location with exceptionally helpful staff - Location was amazing, spacious well kept clean apartment with great facilities Nothing to dislike
- Peta (9/5): Great location. Magnificent views. Proximity to beach and coffee. - Location. Views. Proximity to beach and coffee. Private lift. Exceptional air conditioning for hot and humid weather Nil.
- nikki (9/5): - The views and the walk straight out of
Yur own personal lift to the appartment Being so close to the main road a little noisy but not too bad
- Annette (9/5): Pleasant with fantastic views. - The location was excellent. 💖💖 The kitchen had no oven and the kitchen had no family size caserole dishes to cook in microwave. The fridge was the skiniest fridge I have ever used.
The garage was hard to park our car due to it's small size.
- Cecilie (10/5): Amazing stay - Location and view Nothing
- Georgia (8/5): Great - The view, the location to town beach. It was very clean, the size was brilliant Could there be two more soaps? There was two bathrooms and only one soap provided for each. You couldn’t have soap in the shower at at the wash basin.
Also for the price and level of accommodation asking for the sheets, rubbish and dishes washed and put away is a little bit much. Maybe remove the sheet removal?
- Craig (10/5): Stunning - The view was spectacular 😍
- Brandon (10/5): Awesome -
- Leisa (8/5): -
- Francine (9/5): Fantastic location, incredible views, super friendly staff. - Loved the location and the views!
The staff were super helpful and friendly. Checking in and out was as easy as it could possibly be. Unfortunately the air-conditioning in our apartment was really loud in the main bedroom/walk through wardrobe (which is open to the bedroom).
The kitchen was really well equipped but a simple pair of scissors would've been helpful.
- Zan (9/5): Great location and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Good standard apartment, would utilise again. - Location to beach. Ease of access. Spacious. All was good, apart from WiFi coverage within apartment. Second bedroom has very little coverage.
- Ellie (10/5): We had a great stay here. - Location excellent
- Jamie (9/5): Awesome location and space, great setting to enjoy some of the best aspects of Port - Location was excellent, being on the corner ground level meant that the front door to our front patio could potentially be easily accessed by any stranger off the street as the door latch does not require a key and is not restricted by any security feature. This made us feel a little bit vulnerable and we made sure we didnt leave anything valuable in the front balcony. Whilst we still had a view of the beah from the ground level and the other good point is we could easily walk onto the street, it would have felt more comfortable either having a security feature restricting access to the door of balcony or otherwise being on a higher level may have been prefferable. Last minor gripe the TV remote control in the 2nd bedroom wasnt working - most likely needed new batteries... we were able to use that TV by using the remote control from 1st bedroom but a bit inconveniant going from room to room when using both Televisions.
- Joe (8/5): - The bed was great!
- noreen (10/5): -
- Melissa (7/5): It was ok. Great location. But not much to do for kids walking distance. More for adults. - The location, the folding alfresco doors. The main bedroom, the carpark as we were on ground floor. Safety aspect. We couldn't leave the doors open at night and there are no windows. The bathroom/tub shower is dated. Difficult to open the class door and get in and out of the shower. Very Small. Not enough toilet paper, hand wash. It would have been better if there was a clean every two days. We stayed 6 days. Fridge cupboard was a nuisance.
- Jocelyn (10/5): - Spacious, comfortable apartment. Lovely ocean view and central location
- Vitina (9/5): -
- Diane (10/5): -
- Stephen (9/5): -
- Vanessa (8/5): -
- Jacob (10/5): -
- George (8/5): relaxing - Close to the beach, nice and quiet nothing
- Andrea (8/5): Great location and big balcony overlooking beach, but some maintenance issues. - It was well worth renting one of the front corner rooms with a big balcony overlooking the beach. The kitchen was well stocked and lounge area with large TV was a good layout, unfortunately some broken blinds. Bed was comfortable. The layout of the bedroom, bathroom and toilet was strange and not very private. Also, blinds weren’t enough to block out the light at night so had to wear an eye mask or hang an extra towel over windows. There were not enough towels supplied and why no beach towels when you’re holidaying at a beach?!
- Camilia (7/5): Not quite what we expected. - Great location, friendly, helpful staff. Nice large apartment, the ensuite is a little odd. Lots of notices of the dos and don’ts that make you feel a little unwelcome. The request to strip the beds / remove sheets on the day of checkout is incredibly odd, it’s a request not a requirement but for over $1000/night I think a little service is not unreasonable. 4 days without a change of towels or any housekeeping I’d expect at budget accommodation.
- Kim (7/5): -
- Jason (8/5): - Great location. Helpful owner. Lovely balcony which opens up into the lounge parking good although didn’t fit the roof box on top of our Pajero Set up of apartment was a bit odd. Main bedroom in middle of apartment with frosted glass windows so couldn’t really have someone in kitchen or lounge with light on without disturbing people in bedroom. Kitchen also poorly planned and not many utensils etc so not ideal if you want to cook a lot
- Franita (10/5): -
- Colin (10/5): Great place to stay. Very central and fantastic views. - Great position. Great views and very comfortable. For the price a few extras could have been provided - proper coffee, more toiletries, etc
- Rachel (10/5): Fantabulous - Perfect location , feels like home , friendly staff Liked everything , always do
- Danche (10/5): -
- Kiril (10/5): -
- Brett (9/5): -
- Christine (9/5): Huge apartment, good location, great view, happy travellers! - We stayed in 9 different accommodations during our trip - this one had the best view and was by far the most generous in the size of apartment and hanging space, which meant a comfortable stay for us. Our host contacted us before we arrived with access instructions and some excellent recommendations to help us make the most of our stay.
- Kylie (9/5): -
- Stephanie (10/5): - Location A bit noisy
- Andrea (10/5): Great place, highly recommend - Fantastic location and the view of the beach from the balcony was spectacular. Loved watching the dolphins swim past. The staff were lovely and very helpful I wasn’t a fan of the bathroom off the main bedroom. The screens didn’t offer much privacy.
