I had a very nice stay at the Surf Motel in Yamba. We had a room on the second level and ocean…read moreviews from our room. It sits above a saltwater pool and surfable beach. The room felt more like a suite with a mini-kitchen with wine glasses and coffee mugs available. The linen was bright white with no visible stains or tears. Overall, the facilities were in pretty good condition. The only thing I didn't like was the bathroom has a step to get in, but the edge is sharp. So if you forget the step is there, you're at risk for cutting your foot open (which happened to one of us). They offer standard toiletries and it's a close walk to one of the best pubs in Yamba.

But the hotel has new owners now - an enthusiastic young couple who are really keen to make this business great. The new rooms are awesome, but unfortunately I had to have an older room this stay so I can only review based on that. The $10 breakfast deal is excellent value. When all the rooms are rennovated, this hotel will be superb. The old rooms are really old, and even depressing in a way, but it is very clean and owners with this much enthusiasm should be supported.

Well, fortunately for me I was still able to pop in for a drink, so as to mark off all of the pubs in Grafton as opposed to having one left there hanging like a loose end. I found this place rather pleasant though, particularly since the service was rather good, and they even had some nice beers on tap, which was sort of lacking in other places. This place was actually rather nice, even if it was somewhat quieter than the others.

Well, that wasn't going to be the theme for the rest of the night though because it turned out that this was somewhat of an exception when it came to pubs in this part of town, particularly on a Friday night. Still, this one was nice and the staff were rather friendly as well.

A part of me thought that it may have been closed, but that turned out not the be the case, so I wandered inside. The first thing that struck me was how cool the bartender was, and the second was that they had a pretty awesome, and quite large, beer garden out the back with some really nice and comfortable couches. Actually, the pub itself had some really nice quite places for me to sit, so I'd have to say that I did quite like it.
