At The Cove Yamba, travellers consistently praise the beachside location near Main Beach and town, along with friendly, helpful staff, while many apartments are spacious, well equipped and offer balconies or ocean views that suit relaxed coastal stays.
Reviews also note a dated feel in parts of the property, and cleanliness can be inconsistent, with some reports of dirty floors or mould. Facilities like the pool and spa are appreciated, though parking spaces can be tight and lifts have occasionally failed. Housekeeping is not daily and there is no room service, with some policies such as taking rubbish out and early checkout drawing mixed reactions and a few comments about price. Overall, expect a friendly, convenient beachfront base with variable room finishes.

We couldn't fault the property. We had a very clean comfortable family apartment overlooking the attractive garden and very well maintained small pool. Secure onsite underground parking was great, with easy access by lift or stairs to all apartments. Renee on reception was very pleasant and helpful. Property has a stunning coastal outlook, only a 2 minute walk down to the beach. The town is just a 10 minute walk down the hill, with a number of excellent cafes, restaurants, and a great selection of very nice independent shops.

A perfect apartment for a quiet, relaxing long weekend. The view was wonderful, the apartment was clean and tidy with everything you could need for a short stay. I never heard any other guests even though I imagine the place was full. The pool was a little chilly for me and the hot tub could have been a little warmer too, but this was pretty minor. I would definitely recommend and stay again. I particularly appreciated the SMS to tell me my room was ready at 9am on the day of checkin.

We had a wonderful stay in a lovely one bed garden apartment. Well equipped and clean, with a comfy bed, plentiful hot water and a good shower. The grounds and pool are spotless. The property manager is the best we've experienced in our mulitple visits to Australia. We were greeted, out of hours, with a welcoming smile, nothing was too much trouble. The couple of minor issues we had in the apartment were quickly dealt with. Location is good, steps from a patrolled beach that is perfect for families. We'll definitely be recommending The Cove to family and friends in QLD and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The location is great (a short walk to main, convent and pippi beaches) and reception staff are super lovely. The residence itself is like a time capsule from 1990 - everything is very tired and run down but functional, we honestly only slept there so it didn't bother us too much as we booked for the location which was close to our friends house on Ocean Street. Kitchen could have been a bit cleaner, some of the cutlery was dirty and there was lots of crumbs in the utensil drawers but otherwise well stocked. Would stay again for the location.

The room was ok. Had a strange smell and felt a little outdated. Had a washing machine and dryer which was handy however bathroom tiles had mould in grout. The bed was a pleasant suprise as it was a king but was advertised as queen. No room service, no cleaning and you need to clean and take out rubbish before checkout which is BEFORE 10am otherwise you are charged an additional fee. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Please note everything in Yamba is closed from 9pm and you cannot buy milk water petrol etc after that so make sure to have supplies on hand. The convenience of this property is there is a french restaurant next door that is open for breakfast lunch and dinner and the beach is a very short walk so would be an ideal place to stay for a long-term holiday. Not sure I felt satisfied with the high price per night compared to other places I have stayed offering far more luxury and attention to detail for a more competitive price.

Also got a late checkout, they were no fuss hosts, very helpful & friendly! I'd stay again.

Kitchen could have been a bit cleaner, some of the cutlery was dirty and there was lots of crumbs in the utensil drawers but otherwise well stocked. Would stay again for the location.
The location is great (a short walk to main, convent and pippi beaches) and reception staff are super lovely. The residence itself is like a time capsule from 1990 - everything is very tired and run down but functional, we honestly only slept there so it didn't bother us too much as we booked for the location which was close to our friends house on Ocean Street. Kitchen could have been a bit cleaner, some of the cutlery was dirty and there was lots of crumbs in the utensil drawers but otherwise well stocked. Would stay again for the location.

We have wanted to stay in Yamba for years so this was fantastic. The Cove Yamba is in a fabulous location right near Main Beach and easy walking into town. The garden setting is lovely and loved the swimming pool which we used as it was quite windy during our visit. Good to have essentials like washing powder, shampoo, conditioner, tea bags / coffee and milk. We walked, & drove, all around town discovering Yamba. We had a delicious seafood dinner at the Bowling Club one night and another tasty dinner at the Pacific Hotel near Main Beach. They are carrying out exterior renovations there at the moment. Sunday afternoon had a singer outdoors which was great. Another day we drove to Angourie which has a lovely surfing beach and also swam at Spooky Beach. We also visited the local small Movie Theatre which was great value. A wonderful trip all in all!

Studio apartment was a reasonable size with broken ocean views. Recently redecorated, there were some thoughtful touches. Comfy bed. Capsule coffee machine. Next to wonderful restaurant. Hilly walk to shops.

This is more of a holiday style property for people with children. It was not great for an overnight stop. No room service, no cleaning each day. The room was small and difficult to move around in.

The room was ok. Had a strange smell and felt a little outdated. Had a washing machine and dryer which was handy however bathroom tiles had mould in grout. The bed was a pleasant suprise as it was a king but was advertised as queen. No room service, no cleaning and you need to clean and take out rubbish before checkout which is BEFORE 10am otherwise you are charged an additional fee. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Please note everything in Yamba is closed from 9pm and you cannot buy milk water petrol etc after that so make sure to have supplies on hand. The convenience of this property is there is a french restaurant next door that is open for breakfast lunch and dinner and the beach is a very short walk so would be an ideal place to stay for a long-term holiday. Not sure I felt satisfied with the high price per night compared to other places I have stayed offering far more luxury and attention to detail for a more competitive price.
