THE Hideaway IN Angourie - Hear the waves from Spookys Beach - Holiday Yamba

Great location - beautiful short walk to the delightful Spooky's beach, Blue Pool and excellent cafe. We easily visited the beach several times a day - just a quiet stroll through the lovely bush path. The cafe - virtually across the road - is open early in the morning and do excellent coffee & breakfast. The staff were very friendly and they also opened on Sunday afternoon for live music and cocktails which was great fun. Also Angourie is our favourite holiday destination - quiet and peaceful yet only 10 minutes to shops and restaurants in Yamba. we went for beautiful walks from the house to the adjacent headland and Yuragir National Park The house really is a 'hideaway' - completely surrounded by a leafy garden so it's totally private from the road and feels like you're in a tree house. Gorgeous! 3 seperate deck areas - with 3 of the bedrooms opening directly onto them and plenty of room for outdoor meals. We stayed in the master bedroom upstairs with amazing ocean views, and did yoga on our deck each morning. We also brought hammocks which we hung on each deck. The kitchen was well equipped for a holiday house. The laundry downstairs has a commercial sized washer and dryer which was useful (just be prepared to pay for use of the dryer, and have the correct coins!). Having 2 bathrooms and 3 toilets was handy for our group size (the 3rd toilet isn't mentioned in the listing). Great to have a couple of undercover carports.

For the high price we paid for 1 week in December, we felt there should have been the standard inclusions of linen, a BBQ & wifi. (While we can live without wifi, the other 2 things are fundamental - especially a BBQ at a coast house with 3 decks! There is the option to hire linen for even more money, which we felt was pretty unreasonable.. We've stayed at many coastal holiday houses throughout NSW and run a successful 16 bed AirBnB ourselves, so we have reasonable and realistic expectations about what the market supplies.)
