On the Hastings riverfront in central Port Macquarie, the Rydges Hotel, within walking distance from restaurants, cafes and boutiques, has all the credentials for romantic weekend breaks. It features the Zebu Bar and Grill, for pre-dinner cocktails, wood-fired pizzas and steaks, a spa for obligatory holiday pampering, and Deluxe King rooms with "Dream" beds and balconies overlooking the river estuary. From the first-floor pool and gym you can watch dolphins swimming in the inlet while getting your own exercise fix, or, if you’re feeling lazy, settle into your room for an in-house movie.
