I hope to settle in Port Macquarie and am thinking February 2018. I will be looking for cheap accommodation for just myself and wonder if you could advise on this? Thank you.
Hi Julie, you could try our accommodation section, but these are all shorter term options. If you’re looking for something longer term, perhaps chatting to some of our local real estate agents might be the way to go. Best of luck with your move :)
