Lovely view of the river. Great kitchenette and outdoor bbq allowed us to cook meat we won at a meat raffle! Nice being able to self cater.

“On the river at Yamba”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Premium Spa Unit
- • Stayed 6 nights
- • Submitted via mobile
The pool is located out the fron right next to a busy road and car park so we never once sat by the pool. The grounds at the back of the complex are large and beautifully landscaped and right on the river front. If a pool were there, it would be so much more inviting to sit around the pool. While we were there I never saw anyone use the pool even though temps were up near 30 degrees. A pool out the back would make this the perfect place to stay in Yamba.
Our unit (#12) was very modern and recently renovated with a very comfy king size bed and a balcony with a lovely view of the river where we could sit and watch the prawn trawlers come and go each morning and evening.
