The best thing about this spacious and airy home is its perfect location in Yamba, poised between 3 beaches. It is on a beautiful, quiet street, yet not very far from the action of Yamba. The famous Yamba Hotel is at the opposite end of the same street.
The bathroom situation is a little unusual, in that there is not a full bathroom on the top floor (main living area), but seven of us managed it quite well. Fortunately, there are two toilets, but the people staying in the king bedroom on the top floor have to use the kitchen sink to brush teeth at night. Not really a huge drama! I wear contact lenses and also used the kitchen sink for cleaning them, inserting them, etc.
Karinya House has a beautiful big yard and two excellent outdoor eating/sitting/lazing around areas. There are lots of activities provided for all ages: ping pong table, basketball hoop, barbeque, and many books for old and young.
There's lots to do in Yamba, but Karinya House was so well-appointed, it made you want to laze around and read, or watch the world go by!
Simonne was most helpful in getting us settled and very quick to respond to all my enquiries. She even had a Christmas tree set up, as we stayed there the week before Christmas! Thank you, Simonne, for being such a terrific host!
