Amazing family holiday

Myself, wife and two boys had an amazing stay! It really was the perfect family holiday. The kids (and myself) had the best time catching fish off the dock, it is a stunning home with everything you need, port Macquarie is an great place for kids as there is so many activities close buy. We can 100% recommend this place for anyone as it is the prefect environment for relaxing but it has so much close buy if you want to adventure!

Wonderful time spent at Riverside House

The property and location was beyond our expectations and extremely well appointed and maintained. The outdoor area and pool kept the whole family entertained with amazing views of the river and sunsets.

Fantastic short Holiday at Riverside

Narelle was very supportive throughout the time we stayed at her place. We really had a good time at Riverside. The view, breakfast at the edge of water and all entertainment inside of the house simply made our holiday went so quick but worth it. Thank you so much Narelle and Chris. Really appreciated.

A beautiful break

We had a wonderful stay at this serene place on the river. My husband and son absolutely loved fishing off the jetty every day with great success. The house was spacious and the best equipped (especially for the kitchen) place I have ever stayed at. I did yoga each day out near the pool and it was stunning. Thanks for having us.

Sublime

We stayed over Easter with extended family. 6 adults and 1 infant. Aside from groceries there was never a reason to leave the property. We did explore the strawberry farm and koala sanctuary which are both super close. In the property itself we did things like swiming in the pool, reading on the patio or on the private jetty, cooking on the bbq and watching the sun set over the river. We even baked a cake, Narelle warned us there was no specific facilities for an infant but aside from a cot and a soft play mat we needed nothing else. The pool was a little too chilly in April to spend much time in! Would return in a heart beat.

Perfection in Paradise

We booked four nights over the Easter Long Weekend and are already planning our next escape to Paradise on Riverside. It was a most magnificent property and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Chris and Narelle are fabulous hosts and provided all that we needed, and then some, to ensure a stress free, luxurious stay. I dont want to go into detail about what awaits you because half of the fun is discovering it for yourselves but just know that the description is completely accurate and you will love all of the amenities, the full sized snooker table, the sparkling pool and the cabana - which was our daily go to for drinks and sun-set watching. The few times we ventured away from 'home' we did the jet boat ride, the local vineyard and the rainforest walk - Sea Acres - all of which I recommend. Dont let being a ferry ride away from the main street of Port put you off because that, in our opinion, is the reason we want to go back - to get away from it all but still be within a stones throw. Thanks again Chris and Narelle. Cheers The Redmonds of Newcastle

A stunning riverside retreat

Being on the river was just beautiful. Dolphins, turtles, fish and easy access for boat and SUPs. So much to do. Kids loved the pool. Layout of house is perfect for two families. Well equipped kitchen and clean throughout. Pool table added bonus. Although out of town, easy drive on ferry but didn't really need to head into town for much. Highly recommend, the ideal summer holiday house. A must if you have a boat!

Amazing place for family get togethers

Me and my family once a year go away to holiday homes to have a great catch up and hangouts. This year has got to be one of the best gatherings we’ve all been too due to a variety of factors. One; the house is absolutely gorgeous, it is extremely spacious. There are lots of things you can do in the house alone; play billiards, swim in the beautiful pool, fish off the wharf, kayak in the river that is easy accessible ( and child proof as well). I caught two flat heads, and two silver bream fish off the wharf. There is a beautiful beach just ten minutes away where you can take your 4wd on the sand. It was absolutely amazing and I recommend this house to everyone that wants something that’s has loads of activities and is also extremely relaxing! Will definitely be back in the future! Thank you Narelle and Chris for opening up your gorgeous home to us!

A quality home ideal for our family get together. Exceptionally clean and well equipped.

Highly recommended if you like a quieter alternative, we lazed by the pool, enjoyed a game of billiards, a bbq, excellent fishing and close enough to drive into Port for a coffee & supplies. Great family retreat and 5 star quality.

Best sunsets

We had a great Easter long week away with our family. There was 3 families in total And plenty of room for us all without being on top of each other. Multiple lounge rooms and areas to sit and relax. A fantastic house which never stopped catering for our needs. Thanks Chris and Narelle for all ur care and efforts to ensure we had a great stay.

A beautiful hidden Gem

Riverside is a well appointed home that you just won’t want to leave. A highlight for our family was access to the river from the personal pontoon, we had a great time fishing. This is definitely the place to go if you are looking to escape the rest of the world. Hibbard ferry being closed made the trek to town slightly inconvenient, but is not a reflection of the property, more the location and should be considered more closely depending on what type of holiday you are after. Narelle and Chris go that little bit further with the extra touches that make your stay welcoming and personalised. Highly recommend this property.

Great family and friends getaway

This was my second visit. It was so good the first time going fishing with my mates that this time we all bought our families and again had a fantastic time. Great entertaining areas, multiple chill out spaces and well positioned for everyone to catch at least one fish. Cannot recommend highly enough. Everyone was extremely impressed with the amenities and obvious quality of the house. Will definitely be back again.
