"We couldn't have loved our stay at Sam's more. 16 people comfortably accommodated. Peaceful, beautiful, outdoor spaces that pulled you outside. It was a wonderful place to relax and enjoy, and bonus that it is pet-friendly. All the little touches made for such an easy stay and everything has been thought of.A great spot to meet when you have family in Brisbane and Sydney, and a wonderful opportunity to support regional communities. Valla Beach Tavern, Nourish Grocer, and the Valla Beach Markets were all a hit with our group. We can't wait for the chance to visit again."
