Guests don't just enjoy staying with Oceanstays. They come back.
With an average guest review score of 9.6 out of 10, our homes consistently earn outstanding feedback for their cleanliness, thoughtful presentation and the care provided by our local team. For us, the best compliment isn't just a great review. It's welcoming guests back, year after year.
Holidays are remembered in moments, not floor plans.
Five minutes after arriving and someone has already claimed the bedroom with the best view. The beach bag is packed with everything except the sunscreen. Someone's gone back to the house for the towel they definitely packed. Breakfast becomes lunch because nobody's watching the clock.
Those are the moments people remember. Not the number of bedrooms. Not the square metres of the deck.
At Oceanstays, we believe great accommodation isn't just somewhere to sleep. It's the backdrop to the holidays you'll talk about long after you've unpacked the car.
That's why every home we represent is chosen, prepared and cared for with those moments in mind.

Oceanstays and Pilot Hill
People often ask about the relationship between Oceanstays and Pilot Hill.
Oceanstays is the holidaymaker-facing brand where guests discover and book professionally managed holiday accommodation.
Behind Oceanstays is Pilot Hill, the local agency responsible for caring for every home in our collection.
While Oceanstays focuses on creating exceptional guest holidays, Pilot Hill partners with homeowners to professionally manage their investment properties. From housekeeping and maintenance to guest communication and property presentation, Pilot Hill ensures every home meets the high standards guests have come to expect from Oceanstays.
For guests, that means confidence. Confidence that the home has been professionally prepared. Confidence that the photos reflect reality. Confidence that if something comes up during your stay, there's a local team ready to help.
For homeowners, it means their property is represented with care, marketed professionally and managed by people who understand both exceptional hospitality and the local holiday market.
Proudly local, deeply connected
Yamba isn't just where we work. It's where we live. It's the morning coffee before the beaches fill up. It's knowing which beach is sheltered when the wind changes. It's recommending the walk you'll still be talking about over dinner. It's introducing guests to the places locals return to again and again.
Our connection to Yamba isn't something we add to our marketing. It's part of how we welcome guests.
We believe the best holidays happen when you feel connected to the place you're visiting, not just the property you're staying in.
We're proud to share our local knowledge, support local businesses and help guests experience Yamba in a way that's genuine, relaxed and respectful of the community that makes it so special.
Trusted by holidaymakers
Choosing accommodation online can feel like a leap of faith.
Our guest reviews help make that decision easier.
Oceanstays maintains Superhost Status on Airbnb, Premier Host on VRBO and an average guest review score of 9.6 out of 10 across all booking channels, reflecting the care that goes into every professionally managed home. From immaculate presentation and generous amenities to responsive local support, our team works hard to ensure every stay lives up to the anticipation.
Many of our guests return year after year, booking through Oceanstays because they know exactly what to expect: beautiful homes, thoughtful hospitality and a local team that genuinely cares.
That's the kind of trust we're proud to earn.
Why book with Oceanstays?
Booking directly means you're dealing with the local team responsible for your holiday from start to finish.
It also means fewer booking fees.
When you book direct with Oceanstays, you can save up to 15% compared with booking through major online travel agencies like Airbnb and Booking.com.
That's money better spent on fresh seafood, an extra dinner out or one more round of ice creams after the beach.
You'll also enjoy the confidence of booking with the people who know your holiday home best.
The same holiday. Up to 15% less.
