Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. The room was clean, modern and beautifully styled. The location was perfect - right next to the beach and near the pub and main shops and restaurants. The rooftop pool with a view of the ocean was amazing! And so was the rooftop lounge - we got up to watch the sunrise and saw a pod of dolphins in the ocean.

Stunning, relaxed boutique hotel.
Pros:

Everything about this hotel is designed for guests to have a relaxing stay. We particularly enjoyed the rooftop lounge where we had coffee in the morning & a glass of wine & played cards in the evening. The hotel has lots of equipment to enhance days at the beach and two electric bikes which are available for guests use FOC, we hadn't ridden electric bikes previously but soon got the hang of them. Had a delicious meal at the nearby Sandbar Restaurant.

Cons:

We only stayed one night

Small luxury boutique hotel !
Pros:

Absolutely amazing place and service! Hotel is very beautifully designed with calm and luxurious feeling.
We stayed for 2 nights and would have extended the stay if it was not fully booked.
Garry is great - helped us a lot in choosing our next stops on our way to Sydney.
The top floor pool and lounge are excellent!
We borrowed body boards, shade and chair/ for the beach - all are free to guests to use.
Extra towels to the beach also included.
I especially loved the towels and bath robes!

Cons:

None.

A gem especially if you have a room with a view and its directly across the road from the beach.
Pros:

We loved staying at the The Surf Yamba.We had an excellant room with a great view directly across the road from the beach. It was more expensive than we wanted to pay but the room was worth it.There is a great little terrace at the back of the hotel with a fantastic view and you can grab some fresh prawns and go up there with a glass of wine and enjoy the view.
