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.

Perched atop Yamba’s sun-kissed hill, MUSE is a café where art, music and mouthwatering bites harmonise. With an open al fresco vibe, you can soak in panoramic views while indulging in ‘daily happy’ Old Quarter hot and cold brews. The seasonal menu takes you on a culinary journey, inspired by places, flavours and the joy of shared meals. While you wait for your coffee, explore their curated retail treasures—SSAINT perfume, Barney Cools, Summi Summi and more, including the lush Gentle Habits incense and swim gear. At MUSE, it's not just a café—it’s an experience.
