We stayed as a couple for 3 nights and enjoyed the property which was very clean upon arrival. The snacks in the fridge were tasty and a nice surprise. The views over the Yowaka lake was terrific and really made the stay feel that bit extra. The cottage had all the amenities and very cosy using the AC units. It was nice to have the wood fire but we didnt use it on this trip.
We have stayed in a number of cottages over time and rate this Yowaka Cottage as one of the best!
Thanks too to Summer for keeping us informed as we approached.
Kind regards
Greg & Linda.
PS* We had a very nice and memorable Sunday lunch @ Valentino's!

The property was immaculate, magical views and wildlife such as Yellow Robins, Goldfinches, Red Brow Firetails and Honeyeaters, Kangaroos etc just Beautiful. CB lose to towns but far enough to feel secluded. A beautiful experience.

As soon as I saw the house driving up the driveway, I knew this place was going to be ideal. Opening the front door, I was blown away at the condition and warmth this place offered. Beautifully renovated, everything looked new but was filled with gorgeous finishing touches everywhere, completing a warm and welcoming appearance.
The view overlooking the river was stunning! I often sat on the deck for meals or just to gaze at the view, it was difficult to tear myself away.
This house had everything I needed, and wanted. I highly recommend staying here if you want a bit of seclusion from the hussle and bussle of everyday life.

The Greig’s Flat property was lovely. The house was incredibly clean, tidy and well appointed. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay - far enough out of town to feel like we were in the country but close enough to access all that Pambula and the surrounds have to offer.
Our teenagers loved the home and the location. It was everything we needed for a great family getaway to the spectacular Sapphire Coast.

Yowaka River Cottage was everything we expected and more. We were looking for a country cottage close to Pambula and the pristine surrounding south coast region. On arrival, we felt like we were instantly on holiday. The cottage and surrounding grounds are beautifully presented and styled by the host's Taj and Summer. If you're looking for a coastal escape to unwind and relax, we couldn't recommend a better place to stay.

We had the most lovely stay at Yowaka River Cottage. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities we needed for our five night stay. Highlights of our stay included coffee on the deck in the morning, sitting by the fire pit at night and stand up paddle boarding on the river.
Yowaka River Cottage was the perfect place for us to relax, unwind and soak up those summer holiday feels.
A big thank you to Summer and Taj for being great hosts, we hope to be back next year!

Beautiful property with amazing view
Lovely stay in a spacious property - inside and out. Beautiful views, plenty of land for kids to roam and fantastic extras like fire pit. Check in was easy and some thoughtful touches on check in. Some traffic noise as indicated by others and the listing but it’s not heard inside and it disappears at night. Thank you!

Excellent Location and View
The property is well located away from the holiday crowds but only a short drive away from the shops, beach and cafes. Perched on a hill, the property has excellent views of the river which was very relaxing. The cottage is beautifully decorated. We had a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday.

Always delightful and comfortable stay
It is our second visit to Summer and Taj’s place. We fell in love with it at the first sight and are still in love with their cottage. The cottage is so clean and has everything we needed for 5 nights. Summer and Taj always make sure we felt comfortable. We made another great family memories to cherish. Thank you Summer and Taj!

Gorgeous family friendly cottage. Exceptionally clean and cozy.
We visited Summer and Taj’s house for a family weekend getaway. From booking the trip, Summer was in contact with check in instructions and was ready to answer any questions.
We checked in late and were greeted by a wheel barrow stocked full of firewood to help us settle in. Once entering the cozy cottage our first impression was gorgeous and immaculate.
We had a blast exploring the property with our 5 year old the next morning and

Fabulous house in a fabulous location
Our family had a most enjoyable stay here over Easter. It was the perfect house for our explorations of the area (Tura Beach, Merimbula, Pambula, Ben Boyd National Park). We loved the way the house was decorated, and appreciated having 2 living areas for us to enjoy during our evenings. It was wonderful sitting on the deck overlooking the river, the photos were accurate! Thanks Taj and Summer for your communications before and during our stay - we look forward to returning.

Magical Pambula
We stayed at the river cottage as part of a south coast tour. We used it as a base for exploring the beautiful beaches and hinterland. The cottage was immaculately clean and well appointed, and the hosts so easy to deal with. A little bit of country near the beach!

Relaxing family get away.
Summer and Taj were one of the best hosts.
They were so professional in terms of customer service and the cleanness of the property.
From check in to check out everything was well prepared and went ever so smoothly. Even though we weren't greeted in person, we felt so welcome.
Kids enjoyed themselves with lizards, birds, swing and wide grass field.
It was an absolute joy staying there and we can't wait to visit Pambula again!
Thank you!

What a pleasant stay! Perfect size for 4 people, appeared slightly bigger on the Internet but well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, beautiful property and such attention to detail. Summer and Taj even left gluten free snacks as an additional touch. A bit of road noise but nothing too disturbing, could still enjoy the tranquility of the property and hear the birds chirping in the morning :) Would definitely recommend this is friends and family.

Cosy cottage perfect for a family getaway
We based ourselves at Yowaka River Cottage so we could explore the area and beaches on the sapphire coast. The cottage has everything you could need and more. We loved the fire when the nights were cold. Kids loved the play area, colouring pencils and books. Everything is thoughtfully presented, plenty of kitchenware (a rarity in smaller holiday accommodation) and the beds are super comfy! Overall an excellent experience. Thank you for having us.
