Rydges Port Macquarie Is Primed for Riverfront Getaways Following a Large-Scale Refurbishment
Dreaming of a coastal retreat? Add this newly renovated hotel overlooking the Hastings River to your options.
A stay at Rydges Port Macquarie has never looked so good following the recent completion of a comprehensive renovation. Tucked into the waterfront along the abundant Hastings River, this picturesque spot ensures guests can effortlessly soak up the views from their comfortable coastal retreat. Plus, with the hotel positioned right in the centre of town, you're within walking distance of bustling attractions like Town Beach and the Glasshouse Entertainment Centre.
So, what's new about Rydges Port Macquarie? Catering to business and leisure travellers alike, eleven room types have undergone a major overhaul, from the basic twin setup to the luxe executive suites. There are also seven conference and event spaces equipped with the latest audiovisual tech, including a swanky waterfront ballroom primed for opulent corporate shindigs and private galas.
"Centrally located, guests can stroll to the vibrant CBD with waterfront bars, boutiques, theatres and galleries. These upgraded rooms also perfectly complement our conferencing and event offerings, such as weddings, parties, business meetings and residential conferencing," says Callum Kennedy, group general manager of EVT Hotels & Resorts.
When it's time to dine, Zebu Bar & Restaurant's modern Italian cuisine features a menu adorned with seasonal ingredients and provincial creations. Tuck into the burrata with tomato, basil and stone-baked flatbread, then explore gnocchi with chilli and prawns or slow-cooked pork belly with apple, wild rocket and crackle. Plus, the floor-to-ceiling windows stretching to the riverfront make this a dining spot perfect for sipping coffee and cocktails on a lazy morning or afternoon.
Whether you're only in town for a brief visit or using the hotel as your base to explore the surrounding region, you're bound to make plenty of trips to the heated pool and spa. Situated on the first floor, this stellar vantage point is perhaps the best spot to enjoy the endless sunshine complemented by sprawling river vistas.
"Rydges Port Macquarie's newly transformed rooms are the perfect choice for families to enjoy a coastal getaway, a refreshing road trip pitstop, or those who are looking to test out the regional hub of the Mid-North Coast," says Kennedy. "After a day of exploration or meetings, guests can unwind and relax at the property's heated pool and spa, and enjoy their beautifully styled rooms and amenities, some with stunning water views."
