Tucked away between the bushland of Yuraygir National Park and the sparkling waters of Wooloweyah Lake lies a small, tightly-knit community that few get to experience—Wooloweyah. This serene village feels worlds away from the busier tourist spots, offering a rare and privileged escape for those in the know. Here, you’ll find a place deeply connected to nature, where the rhythm of life is slower, and the focus is on simplicity, community, and respect for the environment.

When preparing for your seaside escape, packing can often feel like an art form, especially when it comes to beach essentials. If your holiday home doesn’t provide beach towels (and you’re required to bring your own), here’s a smart packing tip that will save you space and add a touch of style to your trip: pack Turkish towels.

If you’ve ever wondered what makes a holiday home truly unforgettable, look no further than La Ronde One. This beloved Yamba gem isn't just another property on the block—it’s a guest favourite with a sparkling reputation, and here’s why.

Perched majestically atop Pilot Hill, Yamba’s Clarence River Lighthouse stands as a sentinel of maritime history, offering a stunning view of the coastline and beyond. Built in 1955 to replace an earlier beacon from 1880, this 18-metre concrete tower embodies the evolution of coastal navigation in New South Wales.

In April 2024, Jemma Darling spent three inspiring days at Sandrift One as part of the Oceanstays Artist in Residency program. While nestled in this stunning beachfront retreat, Jemma created a series of breathtaking artworks, capturing the serene beauty of Yamba’s coastline. Her work reflects the magic of this idyllic spot, where rolling waves, endless skies and peaceful moments blend into a canvas of calm.

Discover the tranquil beauty of Whiting Beach, Yamba’s best-kept secret. Nestled just a short stroll from the heart of town, this secluded beach offers a peaceful escape with gentle waves perfect for families and those seeking a serene seaside retreat.

Welcome to a world where art and Yamba’s enchanting landscapes unite! Oceanstays is delighted to unveil an exclusive collection of Yamba-inspired artwork, now available for purchase on oceanstays.com.au. This is your chance to bring a touch of Yamba’s magic into your home.

In the heart of Yamba, where the land meets the sea, lies a restaurant that’s turning heads and redefining what it means to dine out. Karrikin isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a culinary journey that captures the essence of renewal and the raw beauty of the Australian landscape. Inspired by the unique karrikin proteins that regenerate life after bushfires, Karrikin takes you on a transformative experience that blends nature, flavor, and innovation.

At Oceanstays, we believe in celebrating the beauty and creativity that the coastal lifestyle inspires. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our latest collaboration with talented local artist Annalisa Lawrence, also known as

Saltwater Woman

Introducing our Photographer in Residence Jemma Darling. Jemma has been holidaying in Yamba for many years and has a warm affinity with our shores.

A few weeks ago, Jemma took residence in one of our Oceanstays holiday homes on Main Beach and set to work capturing stolen moments from our glorious region.

Our Mums come in many forms and facets but their impact on the world is undeniable. The challenge of balancing work, Motherhood and the many other hats we wear is constant.

As a female-led business we feel an obligation to chip away at traditional work models that can serve to limit parents and strive to foster a family-friendly work environment.

Hello, I'm Kristy McGrath, the proud Founder of Oceanstays.com.au.

For the past two years, the Oceanstays Team and I have been hard at work, crafting a platform designed with you - our valued guests and property owners in mind. We've thrown out the rule book and embraced a new approach focused solely on elevating your experience.
