We stayed the the Loyola farm for 2 nights at the end of the Easter long weekend (hubby, myself and 2 year old son). The cottage has loads of character and is set on a gorgeous place overlooking the river (amazing sunset!!). It was lovely to experience such calmness and feel a world away but just 10min drive from the beach! Our son just loved running around the garden with the chickens and Bobbi the horse was so friendly! It was a lovely experience. The host Bernadette was really nice and friendly, great communication and gave us so many tips on places to eat, beaches to check out, best coffee (she was right!!) etc. But the cottage was still very private which was nice. At night because of the fact the are few houses around and low light the stars were incredible, the most amazing I have ever seen!! We also appreciated the lovely touches of the bottle of bubbles (it was our wedding anniversary the day we arrived) and the fresh eggs from the chickens - doesn't get more free range than this!!! If I had to pick on one thing it would be that some of the outside furniture in the garden (tables & chairs, kids slide) have seen better days. The cottage is in a beautiful spot, calm & peaceful and we had a great stay. The cottage is a bit out of town and is not modern so if you are after a modern contemporary set up this probably isn't for you, but if you like rustic charm in a beautiful secluded location close to Yamba but away from the hustle and bustle for peace and quiet then you will enjoy Loyola Riverview.
