🌊 Explore the Iconic Port Macquarie Breakwall! 🎨🐬
Brimming with life, color, and history, the Port Macquarie Breakwall is a must-visit spot for both locals and visitors. Built over a span of 40 years (1897–1939), these breakwalls were designed to create a safe navigable boat entrance and preserve the Hastings River mouth.
The southern breakwall is a vibrant hub where dolphins often play, and the colorful, graffiti-covered rocks tell unique stories from the community. It’s a place where art meets nature, offering stunning views of the Hastings River and Town Beach.
Whether you’re taking a leisurely walk, spotting dolphins, or simply soaking up the sun, the breakwall is a slice of coastal paradise that showcases the charm of Port Macquarie.
📸 The beauty in this photo says it all—come and experience it for yourself!

🌟 The Story Behind DVINE Experiences 🌟
DVINE Experiences was born from a lifetime of learning and passion for creating unforgettable moments. My journey started in a pie shop at age 15, delivering DVINE experiences even then. After high school, I backpacked to Cairns for two months instead of a typical schoolies week—seeking fulfillment over a fleeting moment.
My first year out of school, I waitressed at the iconic Mezza Luna in Potts Point (now known as The Butler), where I learned true hospitality from legends Marc Polese and his father Beppi. I’ll never forget one of my first shifts, spilling a tray of drinks over the infamous Rene Rivkin! 😅 But with that came the training of a lifetime—understanding that EVERY diner deserved a DVINE experience.
From there, I backpacked around Australia, working at incredible spots like Vino Vino in Perth, a bar in Adelaide, and a pub in Carnarvon. Each job taught me something new, but one thing remained constant: my commitment to delivering something special, wherever I went.
That’s why when it came time to build my own business on the beautiful Mid North Coast, DVINE Experiences felt like the perfect name. It represents not just a business, but a lifelong dedication to hospitality, to making every moment count, and to bringing joy and fulfillment to everyone who comes along for the ride.
Come and see what DVINE is all about. 🌿🍷

🌿 Discover the Hidden Gems of the Mid North Coast! 🌊✨
Port Macquarie isn't the only place brimming with Instagrammable spots. Just a short drive off the Pacific Highway from Coffs Harbour, you'll find Sealy Lookout and the Forest Sky Pier at Niigi Niigi—a breathtaking experience waiting for you!
Much like Harry's Lookout here in Port Macquarie, this iconic spot offers some of the most spectacular views on the Mid North Coast, making it a must-visit for your next DVINE Experience.
🏞️ Why Visit Sealy Lookout?
🌿 Located in the Orara East State Forest on Gumbaynggirr country, it’s just a 10-minute drive from Coffs Harbour through lush banana plantations.
🌅 The Forest Sky Pier provides jaw-dropping panoramic views of Coffs Harbour and the coastline.
🚶‍♀️ Stroll through rainforest walking tracks ranging from 1-3 hours.
🍃 Picnic tables, covered shelters, and accessible facilities make it perfect for everyone.
☕ Enjoy a coffee at Nyanggan Gapi Café, or walk to the Gumgali Track, which tells the Gumbaynggirr story of Gumgali the black goanna through art, sculpture, and sound.
Sealy Lookout is certified by Ecotourism Australia, ensuring that your visit supports sustainable practices.
🌟 Let us show you the best of the Mid North Coast—experience it like a local with DVINE Experiences.
