Mark is an excellent host. Very approachable, responsive and efficient. We loved the beach house. It's retro beach house cool; friendly original features, (pictures accurate) with a fresh lick of paint and modern fittings. Plenty of space for a family of 4, we found the use of the downstairs area an added bonus, as it gave us 2 living spaces but would also be ideal for a second couple/small family. The house is closer to town than we had thought from the maps. Easily walking distance or a short drive, nice walks/running paths right outside the front door, and an easy walk to the Sunday market (4th Sunday of the month), right on the turn off to Angowrie.(5km away...bike/running path along road) Our second time in Yamba in 2 years, and we were pleased to find some really nice new cafes. The plank shop does a great coffee, and Iron and Craig cafe was a great spot for lunch (main st) and the mexican on the main street is still THE BEST! The general store at Angowrie was refurbished while we were there, and the restaurant next door highly recommended. (busy, so book) All in all a great stay. Recommended.
