The Sands has an excellent location opposite the beach and the apartment was spacious and comfortable. It was a long walk to town especially on a hot day, so we had to use the car often.

Perfect Yamba beachfront

Excellent beachfront location, clean comfortable and modern, everything we needed for Christmas. We felt very lucky to secure this booking a couple of days before Xmas (assume someone cancelled) as location, price and amenities were perfect. It’s a short drive to town amenities, but only 3-5 minutes. Pool.

We did not like that we had booked an Ocean view apartment and were given an apartment looking into bushes. The kitchen was not clean the sinks needed a good cream cleanser on them and the outside of the oven was greasy and the microwave. By booking through Wotif unfortunately the venues give you the lesser rooms.

Surrounds and gardens were beautifully maintained and well signed. Inside we found apartment was run down and very used- requires new bed and bedding/doonas and pillows had odour, ceiling fans. Dissapointing when outside appearance was inviting.

The location is excellent and saw whales breaching many times. The apartment was in need of a good clean. Burnt on ?cheese both on stovetop and bench top. Kitchen bench & dining table covered in dust, table also had food stuck on it. Drain under bathroom sink leaking for a while as wood had become swollen, office didnt know about leak but organised repair same day. Grounds in the complex are well kept. No lifts so have to lug your luggage up the stairs.

Spacious & a million dollar view!

Just the most beautiful position with the ocean directly in front. The apartment was spacious and the king bed very comfy. The complex was very clean, tidy & well maintained. The gardens & pool area were stunning. The reception staff were friendly & helpful. We would highly recommend staying here.
