Loved Yamba!

Loved this place and the location! We stayed here overnight on a trip up the coast. The room was spacious and clean with an outside balcony and great view of the ocean. Great amenities with the stocked refrigerator in the room and pool and coffee bar on the roof. Yamba is fantastic - would love to come back again one day.

Our suite (Clarence)was beautiful and functional with absolutely no view of the ocean. We could go to the common room upstairs which had a delightful view. The building is clean with a nice aesthetic. We never saw any staff our entire time there. The reception was closed when we arrived(they had arranged entry via text). No one was around when we left. Nice but not quite worth what we were charged.

A great hotel needs a god location, great facilities, attention to details and impeccable maintenance. This place have them all. Location is a minute from the beach and a short walk to the town centre. Rooms are extremely modern with a large TV with a cast app that really works. Lights and heating is controlled from touch screens. There is even a free mini-bar in the room. The rooftop lounge area is simply fantastic. The heated plunge pool is usable even in the winter. There is a lounge area with coffee machine, biscuits and fruit at the rooftop so you do not need to got down to the room if you want a drink or a snack. Everything was very cleaned and maintained daily.

The rooftop pool and recreation area are great. On Sunday at 5pm we left a message on the managers number as we had a very noisy rattling and loose window panel made worse by the wind gusts. Unfortunately we never heard back so we had to make do by packing the frame with cardboard to stop the noise. When we checked out at 10am Tuesday the manager was nowhere to be seen so we couldn’t discuss the issue.

Lovely.

The place is fantastic, absolutely beautiful. Great location. The owner is also a wonderful man, we had an issue with the "per friendly" part however. I booked a pet friendly room, then upon arrival was told thats not the case. Then the place was so nice we could not relax with the dog, feom fear of a hair falling somewhere. Then on checkout was told the room was dirty which is dissapoimting considering we are clean freaks. I would highly reccomemd stayunh here although not with a pet
