INSIDE THE GUIDE
where to stay
This chapter brings together my favourite stays as well as notes on character, interiors and practical details to help you choose somewhere you’ll enjoy spending time. Location matters here: being able to wander out for coffee or walk home from the beach can shape the whole holiday.
where to eat & drink
Inside are my favourite cafés, restaurants and watering holes. There’s also a place for the less formal meals: where to buy Yamba prawns or stock the holiday-house kitchen.
what to do
Here you’ll find some of my favourite beaches, walks and things to do in Yamba, from local markets to neighbouring villages.
Great beaches, good food, a laid-back surf culture and the familiarity of a small coastal community are all part of Yamba’s appeal. I’ve been coming to this sleepy little town since I was three months old and the recommendations in this guide draw on that long acquaintance, bringing together my favourite places to eat, stay and how to spend your days.
Almost everything has been tried with children in tow, but the guide is for anyone who appreciates a beautiful beach town and a slower holiday.
