“I find this resort's best attribute to be its location right across from Pippi Beach; the self-contained apartments make it a solid choice for families. Having access to the Beachside Leisure Centre next door is a real perk, and the gated grounds provide an added sense of security. It seems like an ideal spot for a Yamba getaway.”
