9 Of The Best Yamba Airbnbs For Your 2026 Coastal Getaway

Ready to live like a millionaire on your Yamba mini-break? Suncrest Penthouse gives you views for miles and luxe vibes galore. Occupying the entire top floor of one of the town’s ritziest addresses, this Airbnb has a show-stopping verandah that spans the entire frontage, offering 180-degree ocean views.

Pour yourself a gin and tonic, grab the prawns and get cooking up a seafood feast on the barbecue while you keep an eye out for whales. If you’re in the mood for exploring later, you can take a stroll into town (the walk back is a little hilly so wear the right shoes). Come nightfall, you can take advantage of the super comfy couches in your lush open-plan living space, before falling into your king size bed and dreaming of what’s in store tomorrow.

There’s just something about a tiny home that screams ‘snap me up!’, and when your pint-sized pad comes with a fully-fenced dog yard, large dog kennel and a water tap for the Fluffy One, you just know you’re on to a good thing. Irene’s a real beauty, giving you the best of Yamba’s coast and country and private access to the Clarence River for swimming and fishing trips.

Roll on up to your little black box and you’ll find it’s got a spacious deck perfect for sunset sips and a cheese plate. Inside, you’ve got an uber-cute kitchenette and L-shaped couch—while your queen bed is tucked up in the loft and accessed via some steps. Prefer to sleep at ground level? That’s no problem either. The lounge in the main living area can be converted into a comfy double bed.

Swoon over the ocean views at this 1950s home that’s literal footsteps from the sand of Yamba’s main beach. If location, location, location’s your thing you can stop your search right now, as you can swim, eat, drink and play within a 500-metre radius of your home away from home.

Your Airbnb sleeps two and has gorgeous beach chic vibes inside: we’re talking white wood-panelled walls, wooden floors and the best open-plan living space with huge French doors that open up to let that sea breeze in. Grab yourself a glass of the good stuff, and take to one of the comfy cushion-covered wicker chairs. There’s a whole arvo of whale-spotting and people-watching to be had.

Nab this light and airy granny flat, 200m from the Clarence River and a short walk into Yamba, and you get your own walled courtyard for afternoon chillaxing. Blue Black sits in a big backyard, surrounded by gardens, friendly chooks (yes, you can get fresh eggs), and a hive of hardworking bees who are super calm and go about their own business.

Your Airbnb has its own entry, and is very private, but the hosts welcome you to use the barbecue and wood-fired pizza oven in the main house’s backyard if you fancy. They also supply bikes, kayaks and snorkelling gear so you can make the most of your time away, which is pretty epic. And they have a relaxed check out policy which just adds to the appeal.

Need a place where the whole gang can gather? One with a pool perhaps, and a heap of retro charm? The Sailor Shack is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom 1970s beach home that offers plenty of space a short drive from Yamba.

We love how this accommodation can be divided into two spaces—the shack itself, and the Bungalow, a self-contained apartment with a kitchenette, bathroom and bedroom with a queen size bed. The huge deck is a top spot to gather with a cheeky cocktail, and of course there’s that inviting pool, with cute yellow sunloungers for snoozing on.

Trundle through the adorable orange door at Sunset Cottage and you’re in for a treat. This Airbnb has, not one, but two deck areas that make alfresco living a must. You’re walking distance from Yamba’s shops at this colour-splashed pad, and close to all of its five beaches, where lazy days with a good book call.

Whip up lunch in your full-size kitchen—there’s a separate dining zone to eat it at and two smart TVs in case a post-food lounging session is in order. Later, you can wander to the nearby pub for a cold one before coming home to snooze in the comfiest queen bed.

Pull on the gold, palm tree-shaped door handle and open the pastel pink door to a world of delights at Sea Breeze Cottage. This pet-friendly Yamba Airbnb has been recently renovated into a seriously joyful space, with gorgeous retro styling and a festoon light-lit outdoor entertaining zone where nothing beats a chilled afternoon beer.

This accommodation sleeps six which is pretty handy, and it’s located right across the road from Yamba Marina where you can hire barbecue boats and grab a coffee too. You’re also a mere toddle into town where a visit to the famed Pacific Hotel is a must, plus your hosts provide complimentary retro bikes so you can explore it all on two wheels.

Seeking some chill time with the fam? This oceanfront Airbnb tucked up on a hill overlooking Yama’s Main Beach is super handy, as it has a path down the side which leads directly to the sandy stuff. You’re close to the fun stuff too here—with the surf club, a popular cafe and wine bar, the Pacific Hotel and live music all within a stone’s throw.

The star of the show back at base? The big deck with ocean views that just calls out for a feast with the crew. There’s a full kitchen to prep it in, and a gorgeous marble dining table to munch it at while the sun sets.

If you’re going to splash out on a gorgeous getaway, sometimes you really, really want a bubbling spa as part of the package, and at Captain’s Haven you get just that. This two-bedroom Yamba Airbnb sits in a quiet cul-de-sac just metres from Yamba Marina and a flat 2.5km walk to all the fun stuff in town. 

Small doggos are welcome at this pet-friendly stay, and there’s a fully-fenced backyard that can handle those zoomies. There’s more out here too: a veggie patch and fruit trees that you’re welcome to pick from, as well as that tempting timber spa (it’s not heated) where you can keep cool amid the heat of the sun. Later, you might fancy firing up the barbecue on the elevated outdoor deck, or taking a toddle to one of Yamba’s many eateries. It’s all on your doorstep, so the choice is yours.
