As we wrap up another incredible year, we want to take a moment to thank you, our wonderful followers, for your continued support. Whether you’ve stayed with us, shared our posts or simply admired our holiday havens from afar, you’ve been an essential part of our journey. Here’s to making more cherished memories together in the new year!

Dreaming of a last-minute getaway to Yamba, Angourie or Wooloweyah this January? We’ve got fantastic news! We’ve just reduced our minimum stay requirements from seven or five nights down to two or three on our remaining availability in January. Yes, you read that right – you can now book a slice of paradise without committing to an entire week.

The heart of Angourie is beating stronger than ever, with Aqua Kitchen and Bar joining the vibrant Bay St Local to reignite the town’s beloved culinary spirit. Nestled just steps from the iconic Spooky Beach, Aqua brings a fresh perspective to beachside dining, combining local flavours, warm hospitality, and a coastal vibe that’s impossible to resist.

Life in Jess’s household is a whirlwind of love, laughter, and a dash of chaos. As a devoted mother to four beautiful children, Jess is no stranger to the lively buzz that fills her coastal-inspired home. Amidst the hustle and bustle of family life, Jess has found a way to create a serene, fresh aesthetic that reflects her love for the ocean and all things bright and beautiful. Now, thanks to Cass Deller’s exclusive painting “Yamba Beach,” her home’s coastal charm has reached new heights.

Looking for a magical evening this holiday season? Just a short drive from Yamba, the Maclean Enchanted Christmas Fair is bringing festive cheer to River Street, Maclean tonight from 4pm to 10pm.

If you’re still waiting for the perfect time to book your summer holiday, well, surprise—it’s already peak season. That’s right, the first two weeks of January are almost here, and if you’re not quick, you’ll be stuck with Aunt Karen’s holiday leftovers instead of sandy beaches and ocean views.

Welcome to Spook’s Point, where the waves are world-class, the beaches are family-friendly, and your holiday vibes are guaranteed to hit legendary status. This is more than just a beach house—it’s the Angourie experience, perfectly positioned opposite iconic Spookie’s Beach and just a short stroll to all the village’s best bits. Whether you’re chasing surf, serenity, or simply a reason to skip cooking dinner, Spook’s Point has you covered.

Angourie has always been a place with a strong sense of community, but recent years have brought quiet times. Once home to a much-loved fine dining restaurant and a bustling general store, the village saw both close their doors. The café that followed kept the energy alive for a while, but its recent closure left Angourie without a hub. Enter Bay St. Local, stepping in to reignite the community spirit and bring life back to the heart of the village.

If you’re looking for the perfect spot to create unforgettable family memories, look no further than Thalassa, a charming retro beach house nestled in the heart of Yamba.

We’ve logged some serious travel miles, and one thing we’ve mastered is suitcase strategy. If you’re sharing luggage, packing by task can save you a world of stress on arrival. For instance, if you’re flying in late, bundle everyone’s pyjamas with toiletries in one spot for easy access. Planning to hit the beach first thing? Group swimmers, rashies, and towels together.

Behind every unforgettable Yamba holiday is a team obsessed with getting it just right. We’re the Oceanstays crew: mums, makers and memory-creators, working together to ensure your stay is nothing short of extraordinary. Passionate about our seaside town, we founded Oceanstays to revive the soul of Yamba holidays and put the wow back in your wanderlust.
