Village Resort

The Resort and Its Setting

Village Resort is an independent timeshare property affiliated with RCI, located in Port Macquarie on the NSW mid-north coast. Its village-style layout and smaller, owner-focused management set it apart from the larger corporate resort chains that dominate much of the timeshare market. For owners, that generally means a more personal relationship with the resort's management and owners' association, alongside the practical benefit of RCI exchange access.

Port Macquarie and the Mid-North Coast

Port Macquarie is one of the better-known holiday towns on the NSW coast, roughly 390km north of Sydney and reachable via the Pacific Highway or a longer scenic coastal drive. The town built its reputation on its beaches, the Hastings River, and a laid-back pace that suits both family holidays and quieter getaways. Within a few kilometres of Village Resort you'll find swimming beaches, river walks, a golf course, and some of the region's best-known wildlife attractions — enough to fill a week without needing a car for everything.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you're ready to move on from your week at Village Resort, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list it directly as an owner-to-owner resale or rental — no agency commission, just a one-time listing fee to get your ad live. You set your own asking price, write your own description, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform, so you stay in control of the negotiation from start to finish.

Because Village Resort is an independent property, the actual resale transfer goes through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a brand-wide resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth contacting the resort directly to confirm the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee — these figures aren't published centrally and can change from year to year, so get them in writing before you finalise anything. Ask, too, whether the resort or association has a right of first refusal on resales, as some independent properties do, as this can affect how long a sale takes to finalise.

Because the resort has verified RCI affiliation, it's worth mentioning this in your listing — buyers interested in exchange flexibility will want to know it. A resale buyer typically takes on the usage rights and the ongoing annual fee obligation going forward; they do not inherit any arrears, credits, or banked exchange points you may have accumulated under your own RCI membership, so it's worth being upfront about what is and isn't included in the sale.

For renters, what matters most is straightforward: the week or season on offer, approximate location within the resort if known, and whether RCI exchange status is relevant to them (it usually isn't for a simple rental, since that's tied to ownership). Be clear about check-in dates and any resort-specific booking steps so there are no surprises.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Port Macquarie sees its busiest periods around school holidays and the warmer months, so listing or booking ahead of these times tends to get more attention. Spring (September–November) and autumn (March–May) offer milder weather if you have flexibility around dates. Owners thinking about selling should also check with the resort on how long a transfer typically takes to process, as this varies by property and can affect settlement timing with a buyer.
