Yamba is a quiet little fishing village at the mouth of the Clarence River. Surfers and kite surfers are out today but not many. During the warm holiday season it would be packed with tourists and backpackers on the four main beaches. The facilities in the town cater well for all, with plenty of seafood restaurants and seafood retail outlets as well as other eateries for most tastes.
We are staying in a small apartment suitable for a small person who likes washing dishes by hand, squeezing along the wall to get into bed and moving the dining table to open the fridge. There is no oven but a microwave is a bonus. Our "villa" comes with a car park big enough for a mini bike.
The people who gave it rave reviews obviously enjoy the ambiance of a mouse hole.
We will be sure to enjoy this place as it has a hot shower, two TV's, two hot plates, a microwave and a fridge. As you open the wine, the room immediately becomes larger and the views much more enjoyable. Even the narrow bed seems to widen into a double bed!!
This is "Main Beach". Yamba has four separate beaches.
After having no luck buying quality seafood at the Fishing Co-op, we discovered this gem on the main road into town. The sign shows the range of delicious fresh stock for sale, which is bought direct from the trawlers. Beautiful fresh jewfish for dinner tonight! We will definitely be back for more another day.
Another beach
Third beach with apartments overlooking the sea
Attractive apartments right across the road from the beach. You get what you pay for!!
