• Leishman (9/5): Peaceful sunsets, watching dolphins, sipping wine..... - a homely, peaceful place to stay, great host, who supplied beautiful breakfasts and even cooked a vegan main meal for us.Sitting on the verandah, sipping wine watching the sun go down, watching dolphins swim past was pretty cool, plenty of birds and wildlife around also. no big deal, but the location needs a car to get to shops and main town, but this place is aweome if you want to drop and flop.

• Julie (10/5): -
• Jong Gyu (10/5): - Best host
• Jeff (8/5): Leo was helpful and fun to chat with! -
• Gavriel (10/5): Best place to stay in Port Macquarie - A must stay! Leo and the team are masters of hospitality. Everything was perfect from the location on the river to the amazing conditions of the property. And the food, simply the best. If you are in the area, you must give them a visit.
• Michael (9/5): We intended staying for one night, but decided to stay for 2 nights as the property ticked all our boxes - Spacious room, well equipped, nice location & Leo the host was very welcoming, cooked a different breakfast on the 2 mornings & offered whatever option we liked for dinner. Nothing.
• Elizabeth (10/5): Absolute relaxation, perfect spot for a short retreat. - Leo was a fabulous host. Friendly and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble.
• Alan (9/5): A last minute booking that became a amazing surprise! - The staff were fantastic
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Leo was welcoming as soon as I arrived. Breakfast was fantastic. Location is great
• 智惠 (10/5): Leo, the host of the resort, is friendly and patient in explaining the facilities in the resort and the room.. - Quiet, wifi with a good connection and nice breakfast. The carpet was wet because of the heavy rain before we arrived. However, it didn't impact on our accommodated experience.
• Patrizia (10/5): Cozy, feel good stay in the pouring rain. - Room was clean and comfortable. Host was wonderful: friendly, helpful and professional. Communal lounge was welcoming and veranda was great with beautiful and serene view over river. It truely felt like a home away from home. Breakfast was good.
• Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Matt (9/5): Superb -
• Andy (10/5): Exceptional - Found this place by accident. The place is very clean and the breakfast is top notch. The host will go out of his way to make sure you are happy. The views are amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone.
• Andrew (10/5): - Leo is very welcoming. Beautiful location beautiful house and room.
• Wagih (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jayden (10/5): Exceptional -
• Meredith (10/5): Ana Mandara Luxury Retreat - Nice area, yummy food, friendly staff, clean and tidy, awesome spa, fun games. Everything was great.
• Eimear (8/5): Very good - Lovely facilities and host very helpful and welcoming
• Mark (10/5): 5 star B&B - This place is spotlessly clean, in a great location on the water and a short drive to the town centre. Our host Leo was unobtrusive who cooked and served us a delicious breakfast. I can’t think of any ways to improve our stay. This is one of the best b&b’s you’ll ever stay in.
• Wagih (10/5): Exceptional -
• Debra (10/5): Food is amazing cooked by owner chef Leo. Seafood platter was so fresh and everything served was cooked to perfection an - Loved the food! Was the highlight of our stay. Leo is owner/chef and we could not praise his food any higher! Was amazing. Nothing
• Aytac (4/5): Disappointing - The location is great, quiet, The hotel owners couple are friendly. Even though we booked the room, when we arrived at the hotel the hotel owner told us that the room had been given to someone else and that he could give us another room for the same price. We wanted to see the room. At the back, it was a dark, narrow room. We didn't accept and he said he would give us another room for the same price again. The amount we paid was higher than normal and did not meet our expectation.
• Elaine (10/5): Wonderful! Definitely worth a visit if in Port Macquarie. - Leo was the perfect host. From arrival to leaving, nothing was too much trouble. A consummate professional, friendly and engaging, he made us feel at home. The breakfast on the deck was great - tasty and with a great view of the river and its passing dolphins. Would highly recommend. No issues.
• Megan (7/5): Good -
• Hyejin (5/5): We wouldn’t return thos B&B. - View from the balcony We initially thought this place was a luxury retreat, based on the photos and description online, which made it appear like a small hotel. However, it turned out to be a B&B. We thought the staff would assist with luggage, but we ended up carrying our own bags up the stairs. We later discovered a lift (suitable for disabled guests), but there were no clear signs or prior information about it. The host reached out to confirm our arrival time, and when I mentioned we’d arrive around 2 pm, he firmly stated that check-in was at 3 pm. It would have been nicer if he had communicated this more politely. The overall atmosphere felt somewhat uncomfortable, especially with an elderly host. The fridge in our room was small, old, and kept sliding out when opened. There was also dust on the coffee machine, making it unappealing to use. We also had issues with sandflies around the doors and had to constantly battle them to keep them out of the room. If they prepared the spray in front of door, it could be better. Netflix wasn’t working, and by the time we could request help, it was too late. We could have contacted if this is hotel or motel. At check-out, the host seemed too busy preparing breakfast, and his wife simply took the keys without saying a word. We didn’t feel like we were given a proper farewell or even a "how was your stay?" Overall, the price feels high $465 per one night for the quality provided, and while the reviews may seem generous, I believe they come more from goodwill than genuine satisfaction. I would recommend honest feedback to help them improve their business.
• Linda (8/5): Lovely overnight stay with a friendly and helpful host - Breakfast was delicious in a beautiful setting overlooking the water.

• Peter (8/5): Very good -
• Susannah (10/5): Wonderful stay in a delightful setting - The size of the room. Comfy bed. The views. Dolphins in the river outside at breakfast. Well presented and tasty food by Leo. Ability to have our washing done and hang it out to dry. Nothing
• Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vanessa (10/5): Absolutely loved it and would like to stay longer next time! Food and home was beyond awesome. Views were wonderful and - Service & food was impeccable! Leo was gracious as we came into the property after midnight.
• Lance (10/5): Exceptional - Leo was friendly and accommodating. Me and my Gf had room 1 which is closest to the spa and has a balcony which looks over at the water. Highlights of our stay were swimming in the swim spa at night with the stars and the morning after seeing 4 dolphins in the water opposite us. We would stay there again for sure.
• Frances (10/5): - We had the most wonderful stay at Ana Mandara Luxury Retreat. Leo, our host, went above and beyond to make us comfortable and feel welcome after a difficult roadtrip from Brisbane. A delicious dinner, candles lit, and wine poured, greeted us on arrival, followed by the best night sleep in the most comfortable bed and spacious room. Breakfast was such a treat too. Highly recommend!
• Rachel (10/5): Perfection, from the welcome right to departure - The accomodation is beautiful and right on the water so there was spectacular views.

• Darren (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jack (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lisa (10/5): This is a special place to stay and recommend it to anyone visiting Port Macquarie. The only negative is that we had to - The accommodation was superb - our room was beautiful, spotlessly clean and overlooked the river. The attention to detail was second to none. The location was perfect if you want peace and quiet - Close to town but far away enough away. One of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. Leo the host, was so lovely and accommodating and he cooked us a delicious breakfast - a real treat. Nothing
• Ky (10/5): - The host of this boutique stay goes above and beyond. The amenities are amazing and we will definitely be back to stay again.

From dinner to breakfast, everything is fresh and delicious! Not to mention the bed, which is pure comfort. I highly recommend Anna Mandara Luxury Retreat to anyone wanting a cozy and relaxing accommodation to enjoy Port Macquarie. Thank you Leo, Your welcoming accommodation and service made all the difference to our stay in Port Macquarie.

• Stuart (10/5): A perfect place to relax - A perfect place to relax. Leo was a perfect host. Every detail had been considered in providing us as guests with everything we needed. We left renewed and ready for the next leg of our trip.
• Kevlar (8/5): One of the best options in the area. - Leo was brilliant and made us feel extremely welcome. The common areas, lounge, dining area, deck etc do not provide any level of privacy, which may be a preference for some guests. We were the only guests and so this did not cause us a problem but you had the feeling of being a guest in someone else's house.

• Yi (10/5): Fantastic！ We had a flat tyre and Leo -

• Cazaly (10/5): Exceptional - Everything, absolutely everything was spectacular
• Leonie (10/5): - The overall service was excellent. In particular the attention to detail in every aspect of our stay. Breakfast was amazing.
