Perfect Yamba beachfront
Excellent beachfront location, clean comfortable and modern, everything we needed for Christmas. We felt very lucky to secure this booking a couple of days before Xmas (assume someone cancelled) as location, price and amenities were perfect. It’s a short drive to town amenities, but only 3-5 minutes. Pool.

Surrounds and gardens were beautifully maintained and well signed.
Inside we found apartment was run down and very used- requires new bed and bedding/doonas and pillows had odour, ceiling fans. Dissapointing when outside appearance was inviting.

We asked to change apartments due to adjacent renovations. The apartment we were offered was old and disgusting and badly in need of an upgrade.

Spacious & a million dollar view!
Just the most beautiful position with the ocean directly in front. The apartment was spacious and the king bed very comfy. The complex was very clean, tidy & well maintained. The gardens & pool area were stunning. The reception staff were friendly & helpful. We would highly recommend staying here.
