Stayed at Loyola over Christmas with some family and from the moment of booking Bernadette was quick to respond and so accommodating for our group. Being the Christmas period we had circumstances change a few times and Bernadette was so willing to accomodate our requirements or requests. We really appreciated it! We were so excited for a much needed little getaway and yamba is so so beautiful but this little cottage had so much charm and was in such a beautiful location backing onto the river and still being close enough to the shops and beaches, we were really pleasantly surprised with the cottage! It has rustic charm and is on property so if you’re after something like a hotel or fancy house then this won’t quite be for you. If you’re after a charming little cottage with beautiful scenery and very quiet than this is for you! We loved the rustic feel, plenty of books to read, the farm animals were so great for my 2yr old nephew and fishing in the afternoons was a treat! Beaches are incredible and only 10mins down the road! Cottage was fully equipped with everything we needed for the Christmas traditions with a large fridge, dishwasher, big kitchen and plenty of room for a family. Only issue we had was with all the mosquitoes in the area, so take lots of repellent and coils. Oh and the little creepy crawlies at night! Other than that we couldn’t of been happier with our stay here and we’re keeping it on our list to go back! Bernadette and Wayne were amazing hosts and did anything to accomodate their guests! Couldn’t of had a better stay! Thank you again so much! Xx
