Stairs stairs stairs. Stayed in 3 bedroom penthouse and needed to climb 4 flights to get to room. No lifts. It was ok for our young family but would be impossible for older groups. Great views of puppies beach. Could see dolphins whales. Pippie beach which is opposite was Unpatrolled and full of dogs. Accomodation was away from Main Street which was good. Yamba shops have strange opening hours if you are unaware.

The property was quiet and well appointed. The bed I slept in had a comfortable mattress. The unit was beautifully furnished. We had a very relaxing stay.

Good location opposite the beach and property grounds were nice with good pool area. The apartment was spacious inside but a little dated and in need of modernisation. The balcony furniture was poor, didn’t match and was very old/rusty. Some of the chairs had been replaced with cheap white plastic ones.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Location was nice across from the beach. Spacious 2-bed apartment, which was well equipped and has everything you need. But I thought the property was overpriced. There was nothing special about this place and there wasn’t much service. I stayed 11 nights and my apartment was cleaned once. 2 flights of stairs to lug all my bags! I had to ask a few times what there was to do - no offer to book anything for me. And booking a massage at the local place was so difficult! I didn’t end up getting one in the two weeks I was there. This place was nice. I liked the secure aspect of it. But there needs to be a little more energy to really lift the standard! Also, I could hear footsteps above my apartment, which disturbed my sleep, some crazy person screaming (I assume external to the property) on one night and when trying to take a nap to make up for lost sleep I could only hear kids in the pool screaming Marco Polo. This place is probably great if you’re a family travelling with kids and if you’re happy to do everything for yourself. It was ok, could be amazing or cheaper.
