Well in a nut shell... You cannot fault any thing here really... The whole stay was just perfect... Everything you need in the kitchen, bathrooms were a lovely size and few amenities were provided. Bed was comfy. Lounges and set up if the TV area was practicable and well presentable... I can't really fault any of it.... I will add though... I would have liked a lil more pressure on the top floor shower as it was a lil weak, however in saying this..... The shower did work fine and does function as it should.... The underground parking I really appreciated as the salt in the air that comes off the ocean is quite substantial I thought and if the car was parked out on the street... It would of needed washing the next day no doubt.. so it was a very nice addition to our stay having the car under neath in an underground car park... Finally the young lady at the front desk was lovely and more than helpful, accommodating to my questions about the property and more... My entire experience here was great and if he happy to stay here again even thou I think it was a lil pricey. But will accept the price because I had such a great stay.

We really enjoyed our stay, even though the weather was a bit wild at times - had plenty to keep us occupied for some couple-time, away from the kids. The birds were also sheltering from the rain on our balcony & entertained us with a few "tunes". Thank you for everything - such a great spot, really comfortable & clean apartment, great facilities & communication was awesome, and was handy to restaurants, cafes & other shops. When we left our car headlights on in the underground car park, the lovely cleaner informed reception, who promptly let us know & we were grateful for no flat battery. Yamba is awesome & we can't wait to return one day. ❤️

We LOVED The Cove. Would definitely stay again. The room was far larger than we were expecting which was great! It was just my husband and I so there was no shortage of space. The location was 5 stars! We only used our car once the whole time we were there as we walked to the main street and spent the time at the beach.

Nothing! If I was being really critical the accommodation interiors are slightly dated, but it was comfortable and well maintained.

Above the beach and rock pool and quiet. The room was a good size and very clean and air conditioned throughout. Deck with sea views and very good outdoor furniture setting. Undercover secure parking with very easy access. The unit was very well furnished and very well equipped. Comfortable bed and very good bathroom and shower. The swimming pool was very clean and nicely landscaped and equipped. We have stayed here previously and The Cove is our favourite Yamba holiday accommodation. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Nothing to dislike about The Cove. It is a bit of a walk to the local shops and cafes although there is an excellent restaurant/ cafe next door. Walking back from the shops is uphill so older people would rely on their car.

restaurants around hotel were great for breakfast,lunch and dinner.Beach is lovely,and very close to hotel so location is excellent.i was moved out of my 1st room due to workman next door and for only a little extra they upgraded me to a nice room.Thanks

arrival was very stressful at 9pm at night by greyhound bus.Dropped off at bus stop in town at nite with very little street lighting.with no knowledge of where i was.Greyhound bus driver had no idea where hotel was,no taxis at night and locals didnt know hotel.i found the RSL and they had a courtesy bus they allowed me to get on after i bought a beer.Dont arrive by bus after dark make sure you know address and arrive in daytime

Easy short walk to Yamba beach. We stayed in a studio room , great for 2 nights. Any longer we would book an apartment with separate bedroom with ocean view .The complex is clean and a lovely pool area. Staff are very friendly. Its also Walking distance to the Pacific hotel and a few restaurants. (we ate. at both the Mexican & Pacific hotel , food was excellent , friendly service at both places).

Nothing.

We liked the Location and roomy size of our ground floor apartment, under ground parking with only a few steps to the lift and one floor to our door. There are plenty of restaurants and the pub within walking distance. It rained most of the week we were at Yamba, this gave us the opportunity to drive around and see the other towns , then go back to a spacious lounge, dining and balcony area…..we will be back ASAP Greg Frame

I loved the position of the property. It was a very short walk down to the beach where there is a salt water pool and kiosk. I also walked to the lighthouse, stopping at the pub for lunch and into town for tea later that night. I had two nights there and 2 swims in the pool and a few goes in the spa. Very clean and well kept property that I would definitely recommend and stay at again.

The location was absolutely perfect as it allowed my family to all be very independent as we could walk everywhere. not having to get into a car very much to drive anywhere meant that I really relaxed so much and felt like I was on a proper holiday

The fact that the windows in the apartment couldn't open any wider and were restricted by a lock. I felt a bit locked in.

So quiet and comfortable. A wonderful king sized bed, pool/ocean towels and we had a view. Just a quick walk down to the beach or ocean pool - I swam a quick kilometre this morning - very refreshing. Large room - plenty of space. Fabulous restaurant - the Sandbar - a few steps next door for breakfast and dinner.
