Great accommodation, great service, great location, and for anyone with a 4WD it’s got great secure parking! Beach is a stroll over the road. Short walk up the hill to the pub. Best place to stay in Yamba. Rooms for a family are just awesome, so much room and everything you could need!

Place is great, spacious, really clean, nice pool, check in great. Only downside’s it’s a bit tired needs a refresh. Some minor things missing, just a few more kitchen items like decent ice trays, Cutting boards, tissues and a shelf in the shower there was nowhere to put anything, Plus there was no remote control for the air con in the second bedroom.
