Home away
Property was well set up. Has anything you could really need. It felt like staying at a friends house, with ‘revolving pantry’ and use of bikes and boogie boards.

Everything was perfect and exactly as listed. Made a an awesome family reunion better than we imagined. And, the passing of a large number of whales just added to it. Will definitely be back :)

A great place for extended family holiday.
Plenty of room for our group of three couples, a baby and two well behaved dogs. Bonny Hills is a lovely spot and handy for beach and town activities in Port Macquarie. Thank you.

Great location with beautiful views
We had a wonderful time. The views and location are great. The layout of the property is a bit awkward and definitely not kid friendly, especially for young kids. Lots of ornaments around the house that is not suitable for young kids. If you dare move the items, you will be accused of leaving the property with some items missing items. However upon a thorough check, the items were not missing! It's advertised as Pet friendly - There is no fence to the front of the property and unless you're happy to keep your dog locked up in the garage, go for it. Definitely NOT PET FRIENDLY. Do your research, there are far greater properties to rent in the area

Just beautiful!
We had a fabulous weekend stay at Apricari. As soon as we arrived, everyone couldn’t stop mentioning how spacious and lovely the accommodation was. The view was incredible and being able to sit on the deck, feeling the breeze and soaking up the sun whilst watching the water was pure bliss! Not only was the day time view gorgeous, the stars at night were just as amazing. It’s safe to say we were all relaxed and happy. Tummy’s full from having a bbq on the deck and many laughs shared playing ping pong downstairs. My step mum who’s from overseas absolutely loved being greeted by a friendly Kookaburra on the deck in the morning! The first one she had ever seen and a moment she will cherish from our stay. The beds are super comfy and the place manages to be cosy yet more than big enough for large groups at the same time. Kitchen has all you’d need, just like a home away from home. Would definitely recommend!
