THE BEST
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!

Perfect for a Big Crew
We brought together four hubs of a family and their young adult offspring so we had a large crew together from all over, just after Christmas. We loved the easy clean, outdoor feel to the house. Large fridge was great, food prep easy, plenty of plates, serving dishes, appreciated the dishwasher. Ping pong table given a thorough workout, loved the decks, much cricket watched in the afternoons. It was hot at night and it would have been good to open the western side windows upstairs a bit more - they were on a short lead (probably so no kid can fall out or no burglar get in). We walked, went to the beach and played golf at the course down the road. The house really suited our clan, and our goals of somewhere easy and comfy to gather together.

We had a wonderful time at Apricari - plenty of space, very clean, lots of pantry items, great views and toys. Especially loved the black cockatoos that visited almost daily and the views from the deck. Will definately be back.

Just Magnificent
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Apricari- oasis by the sea; terrific ocean views from within the house, especially from the huge all around balcony; we managed to watch whales from the balcony as well as from the nearby beach; two story property with generous spaces throughout; we enjoyed the bike ride and table tennis in the rumpus as well as wonderful herbs in the garden. The bush track outside the backyard gate is great; all in all a wonderful experience; we recommend it to everyone.

Perfect relaxation destination!
We stayed at Apricari as a group of friends who were in Bonny Hills for a wedding. The house was fantastic - spacious, and great for lounging around in the lounge room or on the balcony. A fantastic view, it was great to sit out on the balcony having breakfast and watching whales. The house was very well appointed with everything you could want in the kitchen, and board games, DVDs, a BBQ, plenty of bedding, towels etc.

Perfect holiday house
We had an excellent stay at Apricari, our 3 families had plenty of room, the kitchen has everything you need, cupboard is well stocked and the chocolate gifts were so appreciated! Everything is clean and our friends with their 18 month old really appreciated the high chair and gate above the stairs. Beautiful views from the veranda, lovely gardens and close to the beach and lovely headland walks. It was all so easy and friendly to organise. Thank you.

Tranquility
We had a lovely time at Apricari. The view is amazing and this time we could see whales passing by in the ocean. They looked so happy on a sunny day, flicking their tails up in the air. The coastal backdrop is abundant with wildlife such as birds of prey, honeyeaters, black cockatoos, doves and lorikeets. Inside Apricari the furnishings are comfortable and allow for a relaxing stay. Beautiful timber floors are present upstairs and the bathrooms are modern. A veranda runs around two sides of the house, which is lovely to use to take in the fresh air and natural surrounds.

A Beautiful Property
We had an amazing holiday, enjoying the tranquil and relaxing surrounds of the property. The view over the headland to the ocean is beautiful and a range of birds visit the native vegetation just behind the house. A sea breeze is always felt when the doors are open, providing the perfect environment for a nice afternoon nap on the couches on the deck. Full Foxtel is enabled on the upstairs tv providing great night time entertainment. A short walk away is a peaceful beach and reserve. Trails also weave their way through the headland reserve. We loved it!

Fantastic family holiday house at Bonny Hills
A gorgeous house for a relaxing summer holiday. We had two families staying here and had everything we needed for a fantastic stay - well equipped kitchen, BBQ, great views, beautifully decorated, comfortable house, plenty of space, a downstairs rumpus area for the kids, perfect weather, and a great verandah for sunset drinks. Lovely welcoming touches from the owner Susan including a pantry stocked with basics, cold wine in the fridge, herb garden and lots of info on local activities.
