Kara's place is great for a one-night stay in Yamba (most hotels have a 2-night minimum). Whilst not close the beach on foot (though only a couple of mins drive), their house is located in a quiet neighbourhood with lots of lovely birds. The space is beautifully decorated and very private (separate entrance and small outdoor patio area to sit). There's no air-con so it got a bit hot the night we were there, but the extra touches - the fresh bread, eggs and spreads for breakfast - made it a lovely place to stay. They also have an adorable cat who made himself at home - my kids loved him!
