Neat, tidy, clean and perfectly located in town. And with a cafe and brewery downstairs (highly recommend Wobbly Chook beers!), you couldn't ask for more.

It's basically rooms above a bistro brewery, centrally located and within walking distance to beaches, lighthouse etc. Rooms and shared amenities clean, and a/c very much appreciated as rooms can get a bit stuffy. Staff friendly and helpful.

The hotel was under resurrection when my partner and I stayed. This must have reflected in the very reasonable price. The view from our window was spectacular. Tea/coffee facilities in room, were very welcome, the bed so comfortable I wept every morning when I was forced to go and so stuff. The friendly atmosphere made for a comfortable stay. And a wish to return someday (hopefully). PS Entertainment was good to.

Not entirely advertised, but this is a backpackers……. However the room I stayed in was super clean and comfy, self service check in was very clunky but lucky, I got there while staff was there. Otherwise a super comfy place in the heart of Yamba with all the creature comforts! Close to some good dining options……. Give the golf club a go!!

I arrived around 7pm and it was dark. No decent lighting at self check in kiosk. Lane way out back is very dark and lighting in car park not very good. As i was on my own i found it a bit daunting.

It was really cheap for a weekend stay. We got a park under the hotel which was great. The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It is also in a great central location to the town and beach.

This is a great option for a couple of days, staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had no where to dry our wet swimmers and staff went out of their way to assist. Location is very good, walkable to restaurants, clubs and beaches. We stayed 3 nights in total and by that time the room was becoming a bit cramped for family of 4, but wenwouod def stay here again. They also offer a great discount on cases of beer from wobbly chuck for staying here!
