Perfect Yamba beachfront

Excellent beachfront location, clean comfortable and modern, everything we needed for Christmas. We felt very lucky to secure this booking a couple of days before Xmas (assume someone cancelled) as location, price and amenities were perfect. It’s a short drive to town amenities, but only 3-5 minutes. Pool.
