The hosts Jen and Leo were so warm and welcoming, we woke up to delicious gourmet breakfasts from Leo. They were like family suggesting good spots and beaches and were very kind throughout. The rooms are very clean and always kept like that, the hotel faces the gorgeous Hastings river. Would love to go back soon.

A perfect luxury stay. Our hosts Leo and Jennell are attentive and friendly hosts. Delicious breakfasts and dinners were a highlight of our stay in this luxury bed and breakfast. Thank you for our relaxing stay!

Absolutely outstanding - service was impeccable and they went above and beyond to make our stay amazing

Ana Mandara meaning ‘beautiful refuge’ is exactly that!!! The hosts Jennell and Leo were the perfect hosts from the start of our stay to the end. Leo is also the chef, the three course breakfast and dinner on both nights were delicious. My husband and I both felt very much at home at this beautiful place we even got a visit from the native wildlife, a very loud green frog named Kermit And a kangaroo family in the back garden😀would highly recommend this unique, beautiful place❤️

Attention to detail by our hosts Shaun & Kerry Thank you

We had a lovely stay at Ana Mandara! Jennell and Leo were great hosts and our room was very clean and comfortable. We loved how quiet the location was, facing the river we saw dolphins while eating breakfast.

Absolutely perfect stay in a wonderful property and idyllic setting. We visited in "winter" and were treated to a 20 deg C afternoon and spectacular views over the water from our room (#4)'s balcony. Jennell and Leo were aces; the former with her hospitality, travel advicel; and kind offer to drive us to and from dinner in town. Leo was equally friendly and helpful, and his cooking -- we only ate breakfast, and regretting passing up the in-house dinner -- was truly on-par with a high-end restaurant. We would return in an instant, and wish we'd spent more than one night at Ana Mandara. Highly recommended.

We had a great time as were warmly welcomed by the hosts Leo and Janelle. We felt immediately at home and very comfortable. The service offered was of a high standard and the rooms elegantly appointed. We had a very pleasant stay here and will most certainly choose to stay here again should we travel to Port Macquarie in the future.

Amazing B&B, most amazing hospitality. Perfect for couples!

Clean room, nice & friendly staff. the room view and breakfast is prefect

Excellent hospitality experience, Leo was very welcoming even though we arrived late at night. Everything was meticulously prepared with great attention to detail. Breakfast was amazing too. Highly recommended!

Amazing place for romantic getaway! Very nice and welcoming hosts, who’s turned their house in luxury mini-hotel. Fantastic views on the river, where you can spot dolphins during the delicious breakfast made by host. Backyard with bunnies, and family of kangaroos visiting sometimes in the mornings. Big rooms with most comfortable bed ever, gorgeous bathroom, cute terrace. Hosts are very nice, and treating you as most important guest ever, they have given some good travel and must see tips to us! Also, you can find nice jet pool on the main terrace, and you can use their bbq. Definitely recommend, and we will try to come visit again.

Quiet, clean and comfortable. Perfect location with great views esp from breakfast deck. Lovely couple own/run the place and breakfast excellent.

We were delighted, what a beautiful place. Leo and Jennell were truly amazing hosts and so helpful. It was so relaxing. We had an exceptional stay.

Amazing place, Jennell and Leo were the perfect hosts. Sitting on the balcony eating breakfast watching dolphins swim up the river was stunning

I stayed at Ana Mandara for 5 nights on a business trip and it was fantastic.The owners Jennell & Leo are such lovely hosts. The food is delicious and fresh. The place is modern, luxurious, and immaculately clean and tidy. The location is beautiful overlooking the river and close to everything, and it has easy parking on the premises.Jennell & Leo do everything they possibly can to make your stay enjoyable, and it definitely was.I can honestly Highly Recommend Ana Mandara to anyone and I will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Our hostess warmly welcomed us upon our arrival, it was such a personally touching welcome that it lingered in our minds. The genuine warmth of our host and hostess was prevalent throughout our 2-night stay. Every interaction that we had with them was not only extremely courteous and helpful but has been a real pleasure.Our room was luxurious with expansive views of the Hastings River. We simply returned early after our days holiday activities to enjoy our stay at Ana Mandara.Our holiday experience in Port Macquarie became uniquely special when our host who is a trained international chef acceded to our request to cook a tailor-made dinner for us on both nights. He cooked mud-crabs (locally sourced) on our first night and baked pork spare-ribs on the second night. Both dinners were exquisite, tasty and generous.....surpassing standards found even in gourmet restaurants. Our heartfelt thanks to Jennel and Leo for making our Australian holiday truly special.

Just had a quick stopover on our way back to Sydney. Leo and Janelle (sorry about spelling!) were absolutely wonderful hosts. A must do is to have a glass of bubbles in the amazing spa overlooking the river at sunset - dolphins may be an added bonus! The breakfast is amazing - you will not need to eat again all day! Will not be disappointed :)

Jennel and Leo were the perfect hosts and couple to look after your stay! They simply made it perfect! Great place great location great people.. what else would you ask for!! Definitely recommend and go back for sure!!

Fantastic place to stay. Felt very much at home. Great views and felt very welcome. Brilliant breakfast. Definitely recommend Ana Mandra

The owners were wonderful and accommodated us to the max. The room was spacious and comfy; the breakfast fantastic out on the deck with a water view. We arrived late, so they made a wonderful, last minute dinner for us. It even had an elevator to the second floor. A GREAT experience.

Beautiful place to cal it a bed& breakfast is an understatement . Liked as much sprayed another day

We never write reviews about our holidays but on this occasion felt we had to let others know about this superb accommodation in Port Macquarie, Australia. This boutique hotel is run by Janelle and Leo who are simply the most professional and welcoming hosts you could wish for. From the moment you arrive you are welcomed with champagne and a beer and lots of information about restaurants, excursions and things to do in the local area. Their self built home is amazing and looks over the river where dolphins can be spotted whilst you are eating your breakfast. The rooms are spotlessly clean and well presented and put to shame some of the 5 star hotels we stayed at on our extended stay in Australia. Overall this accommodation was one of the highlights of our trip. We wish we had stayed longer and will definitely return to Port Maquarie and the Ana Mandara as soon as possible.

Had a wonderful time. Was well looked after by our hosts who went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Great room overlooking the river. Great outdoor spa and bathroom spa. Great all round experience.

Jennell and Leo were amazing hosts. They went out of their way to make our stay a great experience. As soon as we arrived after our long drive, they provided champagne and encouraged us to use the spa and relax. The accommodation was brand new and excellent in every way. Highly recommended.

Great hotel. The staff were so lovely and helpful.
