What a fantastic seafood restaurant, The kids had battered & fried flathead fillets & chips for $15 which tasted beautiful and was fresh and very non-oily. I had a really tasty grilled barramundi served with fresh salad for $18 which was lovley, All dishes served with a generous and appetising salad. Good value for money. Really appreciated the plentiful supply of water - wish all restaurants did that. Didn't have wine, but noticed a good selection and realistic prices. The food was served by attentive and friendly staff.

Generous portion sizes, very good value for money, and excellent quality food. Great location on the river just tops it all off! Self-serve drinks from the bar (noted very reasonable prices), all service staff are very friendly. Advanced reservations probably recommended as we tried to book on the day and found it a little difficult, however they still accommodated us. Prawn salad is a nice, healthy option, steak was perfectly cooked, and chicken schnitzel was quality meat. Sometimes they have quite a few specials on their dinners, very happy with the food and service. I paid $75 for our meal and was excellent price for the quality of our meals.

I was very impressed with this museum. Covered the aboriginal history of the area, as well as some of the white settlers. Very informative. My favourite part would have had to have been the original clothing. Be sure to open up the drawer, and the cupboard with Annabelle's dress. The amount of items they have crammed into the seemingly small building will blow your mind. The fee is minimal and well worth the money, it cost $5 per adult or a family of 4 $10.

We decided to give this restaurant a go even though the decor is not very modern or Italian. We started with an appetiser of Bruschetta. This was quite tasty and we could have gone another serving. My partner had the Veal Scallopine and he was happy with what he got. I had the Pollo (chicken) Saltimbocca which was very tasty. I thought the servings were not quite big enough, considering the price of each main being around $32-33. The mains were accompanied by vegetables in season, but as mentioned not a very generous serve. The bill came to $88 which included one glass of wine and a soft drink.

Was recommended by a local for being the best seafood restaurant in Port Macquarie. Lovely location on the Hastings River.The wait staff were very friendly and made the evening more enjoyable. We had the seafood platter that was lovely... nice fresh oysters and plump mussels and the price was excellent and paid $33 and the lobster and prawns were a bit smothered in cheese and cream, but still fresh and tastey and worth the $35 cause it was Devine.

For coffee lovers and those wanting a great breakfast, lunch or snack, Crema is ideally situated in the centre of town, Staff are friendly and the food is good with good sized portions, I purchased a double shot of roasted ground coffee and it was beautiful and enjoyed every mouthful and paid $5.20 so I was pleased with the coffee, food and service.

Loved the pancakes & relaxed atmosphere & decor. Large menu to choose from & the children loved it. Unfortunately quite expensive to take the family there - nearly $6 for a milkshake & $17 for a savoury pancake. Would go there again as a special treat.

Fantastic setting, great views of the water from the outside tables. Service was a little slow for us but once order was in everything moved along nicely. We had an entree each then shared a main of ribs, combination of Pork & Beef which was a huge meal for $24 and we struggled to finish it all but it was delicious so we forced ourselves, we also had the salt & pepper calamari which was very tasty and Garlic bread was delish, You cant go past cocktails at $10 which I was very impressed with, great day and very happy with the quality of the food and price.

My partner and I got the special of 2 x fish and chips for $14 which I was really happy with. We went at peak time on a Saturday night for dinner so we did have to wait about 20 minutes for it to be ready, but it was worth the wait. The serves were very generous and we only just finished everything but were extremely full! The fish was especially tasty and the batter was light and crispy and the chips were crisp as well.
