We decided to have a three day stopover on our way back from Bluesfest and found the most adorable cottage in Yamba, One Henson. It was simply the perfect place to relax for two couples and having not being to Yamba we were thrilled to find such a gem. With easy instructions from Luke to access the house, we opened the door to find the house incredibly inviting, fabulous quirky retro fit out and decor, spotlessly clean, well stocked kitchen with everything you have at home in the cupboards, comfy beds, amazing deck and a fantastic location with less than five minutes walk to the local beach/saltwater pool, the Pacific Hotel and around the corner to Pippi's Cafe for our morning coffee.
With so many large McMansion holiday homes being built around Yamba & the coast, One Henson cottage is a nostalgic reminder of the yesteryear and Luke has done a wonderful job in retaining that memory. With a touch of mod-cons in the kitchen and bathroom and a splash of industrial retro lights, furniture and local artefacts on the walls, beautiful timber deck it was the perfect place to escape the mad world, listen to the surf, read a book on the back deck, enjoy a game of cards and even play an old board game of Trouble. We were made to feel it was like our very own holiday house for the short stay we had.
I would highly recommend Luke's place for anyone wanting to step back to the retro times of Yamba. Luke is fabulous with communications and giving out tips of what to eat and see in Yamba. Enjoy the place and help keep the yesteryear alive by staying here. Thanks Luke for a memorable stay. We will definitely be back to stay longer.
