Winter? Never heard of her.

Picture this: it’s July. Your inbox is chaos, your scarf is damp, your fingers haven’t felt sunlight since Easter. And then—Yamba.

Here, winter days rarely drop below 20°C. The skies stay clear, the beaches are blissfully empty, and there’s just enough crisp in the morning air to justify one (but not two) jumpers. You can swim, surf, sunbathe, hike and sip wine outdoors without battling frostbite, gale-force winds or wet socks.

It’s the magic of the northern rivers. Tucked neatly between the Pacific and the Clarence River, Yamba enjoys its own secret climate—one that locals quietly celebrate and visitors assume is a fluke.

It’s not. It’s just Yamba doing what Yamba does best: soft sunshine, zero pretension and the kind of winter that makes you forget it's winter at all.

And let’s not forget our properties. Internal fireplaces like Mysa Yamba and Sandhurst for that ‘snug-with-a-book’ feeling. Heated pools like the one at Yamba Beachside Escape for midday swims in June. Outdoor decks that soak up the afternoon sun like warm toast.

There’s a reason guests keep coming back in winter. (Actually, there are about 23°C worth of reasons.)
