“Great spot”
Very tastefully redesigned hotel. All very new. Good style. Very quiet and right by the beach. Nice rooftop deck area which we sadly couldn’t use due to the weather. Nice spot.

“Absolutely loved it and would highly recommend this hotel.”
The location is excellent to access beaches, cafes, restaurants and shops. We received a text at 10.30am to advise our room was ready for an early check in - loved that. Gary the manager is super friendly and extremely helpful. Would love to return in the warmer months and take advantage of the roof top pool!

“Luxe stay in a beautiful beach town.”
Stunning property. No view from our room but the rooftop area was exceptional for sitting and watching the water; we were lucky to see dolphins. It was too cold for swimming in the rooftop pool, but it would be fantastic on warm days. We loved that there was a complimentary mini bar and so many little touches, which made it very different from your run of the mill motels/hotels. We even real plants in the room and on our balcony.

“Worth the stay in Yamba, great facilities plus upstairs pool.”
Location excellent, an extremely well equipped room, bathrobe provided also. Bright, airy space upstairs to make a coffee or tea and have a biscuit or fruit, (and keep dry when weather bad but not feel hemmed in). Great for families.

“Highly recommend this boutique hotel”
Great location for Yamba with lovely views on the top floor and 1-2 minute walk to the beach. Also very close to walk to restaurants. We especially enjoyed having access to free boogie boards (and surfboards available too) and there are bikes to borrow although we chose to just walk everywhere. In addition we really enjoyed having coffee, tea, milk and some nibbles supplied in our room and in the joint living area upstairs.
