Wondeful apartments

We had a wonderful stay in a lovely one bed garden apartment. Well equipped and clean, with a comfy bed, plentiful hot water and a good shower. The grounds and pool are spotless. The property manager is the best we've experienced in our mulitple visits to Australia. We were greeted, out of hours, with a welcoming smile, nothing was too much trouble. The couple of minor issues we had in the apartment were quickly dealt with. Location is good, steps from a patrolled beach that is perfect for families. We'll definitely be recommending The Cove to family and friends in QLD and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful Yamba Stay

We have wanted to stay in Yamba for years so this was fantastic. The Cove Yamba is in a fabulous location right near Main Beach and easy walking into town. The garden setting is lovely and loved the swimming pool which we used as it was quite windy during our visit. Good to have essentials like washing powder, shampoo, conditioner, tea bags / coffee and milk. We walked, & drove, all around town discovering Yamba. We had a delicious seafood dinner at the Bowling Club one night and another tasty dinner at the Pacific Hotel near Main Beach. They are carrying out exterior renovations there at the moment. Sunday afternoon had a singer outdoors which was great. Another day we drove to Angourie which has a lovely surfing beach and also swam at Spooky Beach. We also visited the local small Movie Theatre which was great value. A wonderful trip all in all!

Overpriced

We were expecting a great stay but were very disappointed by the room which was a ‘Motel Room Garden View’. This room type is overpriced as it is cheaply fitted out, small and the floor wasn’t clean.
