Lovely property, well equipped and comfortable. Perfect for a family with puppies. Owners are so nice and welcoming. There was a welcome pack, information about the surrounding areas, and tips on puppy friendly beaches and restaurants. We had a great time.

Perfect for the family
Staying at Marian's property was just what our family was after. We were looking for a pool, as well as dog friendly accommodation. The house had everything we were after, and we really appreciated the little extra touches that were there on our arrival. Thank you for a lovely week!

Another great holiday in Port Macquarie
As in previous visits, the property was spotless on arrival, and the host very welcoming. We spent a relaxing three weeks swimming every day and unwinding after a very hard year. We can't wait to come back.

Lovely house, very dog friendly
We had a lovely week in the house. Our dog was allowed inside, fencing was great. Everything was clean and tidy and there was a very nice welcome pack on arrival. Excellent instructions provided for practically everything - TV, washing machine, all cupboards had details of contents, etc. The pool was a lovely treat.

Lovely property in quiet neighbourhood
Spacious property, with great swimming pool and outdoor area.
The neighbourhood is quiet and inviting, fairly close to shops and restaurants but at the time in residential area.
The house is spacious and well appointed, with good glow to the outdoor.
The owners are nice and responsive and provided all we needed for our stay.

Return visit to Seahorse House
Seahorse House is a very well-maintained and equipped holiday property, with a delightful outdoor area and pool for relaxation. We really enjoyed waking up to all the birds around the generally quiet neighbourhood. The owners, Marion and Colin, are very helpful and welcoming. It's a lovely place to stay, and we can't wait to return.

Sensational Seahorse
I travelled to this property with my partner, our two kids and two dogs.
The house was very well presented and very tidy. The photographs are accurate and the little extras (home made cookies and slice) were delightful after a day of travelling. The pantry was well stocked, the extra beach towels, games and pet supplies were appreciated! The late check out time is great and we did not feel rushed to leave this property.
We made great use of the pool and entertaining area. We will be staying here again. Highly recommended.

Two weeks of total relaxation in Port Macquarie
Seahorse House is a well-appointed family destination, with virtually everything you could require for a self-contained and relaxing holiday. The property was spotless and very comfortable, and the outdoor area and pool quite idyllic for alfresco dining puntuated by a cooling swim. The beds are comfy, and the surrounding neighbourhood is quiet, being slightly outside the main town, apart from the delightful bird songs throughout the day. We loved it!

Loved every part of this stay!
Lovely holiday house, with so much care and attention paid to our stay. Beach towels provided, so many things for the kids to do, even treats for our dog!! Easy drive to anything you want to do in Port Macquarie.
The kids loved the house, we loved the house, and we had a really nice little break in Port Mac. Would love to stay here again.

Port Macquarie Magic
We stayed at Seahorse House for 4 nights throughout March 2021. The house was very neat and tidy, clean and best of all came with lots of extras ie condiments, extra towels, candles, mosquito coils etc which made our holiday so much easier.
The pool was an entertainers delight which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. Location was perfect for us - Aldi is nice and close along with a great bakery. We certainly would not hesitate to book Seahorse again. Marian was very easy to deal with.
We look forward to booking this house again next year!
