Why Winter is the Perfect Time for a Stay & Play Escape in Yamba

When most people think of a coastal getaway, summer often steals the spotlight. But savvy travellers know that winter is one of the best times to visit Yamba. With fewer crowds, mild temperatures, easier access to local attractions, and great accommodation availability, it's the ideal season to gather your mates, organise a team getaway, or finally book that golf trip you've been talking about for years.

If you're looking for an excuse to escape the office, reconnect with friends, or reward your team, our Stay & Play Package at The Sands Resort offers the perfect blend of relaxation, recreation, and coastal charm.

Gather the Crew and Make a Weekend of It

There’s something special about getting the group together for a weekend away. Whether it's a long-overdue mates' trip, a social golf group, a sporting club getaway, or a corporate team-building retreat, winter provides the perfect opportunity to escape routine and enjoy some quality time together.

Unlike the busy summer holiday period, winter offers a more relaxed atmosphere. You'll spend less time waiting and more time enjoying everything Yamba has to offer.

Our spacious self-contained apartments make group travel easy, providing plenty of room to relax after a day on the course, explore the town, or enjoy a few drinks together.

Golf, Good Company and Coastal Views

Our Stay & Play Package offers exceptional value for groups looking to enjoy a mates' golf weekend, team-building retreat, sporting club getaway, or EOFY reward trip. Packages include your choice of 9 or 18 holes at Yamba Golf & Country Club, cart hire, secure golf club storage, and exclusive guest savings of 5% off food and café purchases and 15% off beverages at the clubhouse.

Starting from just $283, you can enjoy spacious self-contained apartments with fully equipped kitchens, comfortable living areas, and access to resort facilities including the heated spa, tennis courts, BBQ areas, secure parking, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Whether you're planning a weekend away with friends or organising a group escape, our Stay & Play Package makes it easy to combine great golf, great company, and great value in one unforgettable Yamba getaway.

Whether you're a seasoned golfer or simply looking for a fun group activity, golf offers the perfect mix of competition, conversation, and time outdoors.

Not everyone needs to be a golf expert either. Many groups book simply for the social experience, enjoying a relaxed round followed by lunch, drinks, and plenty of laughs.

Our package also made an appearance in Women's Golf Magazine recently, check it out here!

The Ideal Team Building Escape

Looking for something different from the usual conference room meeting?

A Stay & Play getaway provides businesses with an opportunity to strengthen team connections outside the workplace. Shared experiences, relaxed conversations, and a change of scenery can often achieve more than another day at the office.

Yamba's laid-back atmosphere makes it easy to unwind, while the combination of golf, dining, and quality accommodation creates a memorable experience for staff, clients, and business partners alike.

More Than Just Golf

While golf may be the headline act, there's plenty more to enjoy during your stay.

Guests at The Sands Resort have access to a range of facilities including the heated spa, tennis courts, BBQ areas, and spacious grounds designed for relaxation. Fully self-contained accommodation, secure parking, high-speed Wi-Fi, and premium guest amenities ensure a comfortable stay from arrival to departure.

When you're ready to explore, Yamba's beaches, coastal walks, cafés, and local attractions are all within easy reach.

It's not just the golf that keeps guests coming back. Visitors consistently praise The Sands Resort for its spacious apartments, beachfront location, and outstanding facilities. For groups travelling together, the self-contained apartments provide the perfect balance of shared spaces and privacy, making them ideal for golf weekends, sporting clubs, corporate retreats, and mates' getaways. With Yamba Golf & Country Club just minutes away, it's easy to spend the day on the course and unwind at the resort afterwards.
