Paws ON Pippi - Your Pet-Friendly Holiday Escape - Holiday Yamba

Place was dirty and smelled bad. Deck cover outside looked like it was ready to fall down. Had a cockroach and a ghecko fall through. Patio furniture was very dirty. Duvet on upstairs bedroom was stained and dirty. Shower upstairs came out as a trickle and plumbing was clunking. Smoke alarms went off three times the first night. Just say no to this place. Old and rundown.

Close to everything

The property was clean and well equipped with all the essentials in the kitchen, air-conditioning, fans and a BBQ outside for outdoor dining. The small back yard provided some space for my dog to have some outdoor time. I was very disappointed to find note on the fridge to say that pets were to be kept outside as I had specifically chosen this place because it had advertised as being pet friendly. As my dog is a very old dog and has breathing issues if he overheats I opted to pay whatever penalty was required and brought him in under the air conditioning. I cleaned up prior to leaving, vacuuming and mopping the floor before I left. My points is, though, that these requirements need to be clearly spelled out in the advertising or, at least, a response give to correspondence about a pet, before accepting a client's money. I appreciate that I had a lovely holiday in Yamba in this very comfortable home but I was also unclear about where to pick up the key as I arrived on a Saturday afternoon and was unable to speak to anyone on the Saturday to confirm arrangements for collecting the key before I got their. I managed to work this out when I arrived but left home without certainty that I would be able to pick up the key. There was a lot of written communication - really way too much for the average person to be interested in reading especially when the most important things from my perspective were not clearly articulated. However, was a very comfortable property.

A fantastic pet friendly home away from home. Perfectly positioned between the amazing dog beach and Yamba cafes. An ideal holiday location for anyone with fur kids. Will definitely be back.
