Definitely worth booking! The service is great and the location couldn’t be better. The electric bikes make it easy to get to the shops or light house and explore Yamba. The best part of the stay was the roof top pool.

Loved Yamba!

Loved this place and the location! We stayed here overnight on a trip up the coast. The room was spacious and clean with an outside balcony and great view of the ocean. Great amenities with the stocked refrigerator in the room and pool and coffee bar on the roof. Yamba is fantastic - would love to come back again one day.

This is our third time staying at The Surf Yamba and honestly I don’t want to stay anywhere else! We were in Yamba for 2 nights but The Surf was only available for one. While our other nights accommodation wasn’t cheap, wow did we appreciate The Surf that much more when we checked in. It’s all the little things that just add up to a marvellous stay. The towels and shower gels are luxurious. The free mini bar is stocked with different drinks. The bag and beach towels supplied to take to the beach. The snacks that are available whilst sunning and swimming on the magnificent rooftop balcony with stunning views. The whole place smells absolutely beautiful. The service is amazing. Not to mention everything is just so aesthetically pleasing with such high quality fixtures. We will be back! Highly recommended.
