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.

10/10 Exceptional

The room was spacious and clean, with a lovely balcony that faced the ocean across the road. Although we were on the ground floor and couldn't see the ocean due to the trees, we could still hear the waves and enjoy the refreshing sea breeze. The two pools were fantastic, featuring a shallow area for the little ones. The resort also boasted great barbecue areas and fantastic tennis courts. If you decided to leave the resort, the beach, golf and bowling clubs, and the main street were all within an easy walk.

Very spacious, clean apartment, perfect for families, with the resort having 2 pools and a spa for the kids. Location was excellent right by the ocean and a short walk to the town centre. My only feedback, was it would be nice to see some basic condiments in the apartment such as oil or salt/pepper - but really my only comment
