Everything during our stay was very good -
The view, the amenities and the tidiness of the room.
I only wish there was a lift to the second floor.

Very nice room with a wonderful view across the Clarence River. Our room was very well appointed and we loved having the coffee machine. The room was clean with a good sized bathroom and a great shower.
Our bed was a king size and was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I have ever slept in.
We will definitely stay here again when we return to Yamba

Location is top notch and staff were helpful.
While the room was tidy and had the required facilities the ensuite shower needed a good clean.
There was outside noise early each
morning so sleep ins are a no go.Otherwise we enjoyed the stay.
