Amarco lives up to its name, a Beautiful Place in a wonderful peaceful location with great hosts, Anne and Graeme.
Amarco is a two storey townhouse with a subtly eye-catching decor, with plenty of room to spread out, two living rooms and two outdoor tables which is great for larger families or groups, a great BBQ, and a well equipped kitchen and large dining table. Anne and Graeme are helpful when you need them, and discrete and respectful of your privacy.
Iluka is a small fishing village but with all the essentials needed for low-key vacationers, with Amarco sitting on the edge of the Clarence river with more bird life than you can point binoculars at, from wag tails to rainbow lorikeets to pelicans. Several beaches and the Iluka Nature Reserve are great for recreation, and Yamba is just a short ferry ride, or a half hour drive away, for more shops and restaurants.
Two weeks at Amarco was exactly what we needed to start winding down from 5 years in the USA! 5 stars!
