Yamba Sun Motel

Yamba Sun Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Yamba Sun Motel was such a great place to stay for our couple of nights in Yamba!! Rob was so helpful and so lovely! The rooms are beautifully presented with everything you need to make your family stay comfortable and more affordable with the inclusion of plates, cutlery, glassware, fridge, toaster, kettle and microwave! The bbq area is covered and has everything you need too which was great. The pool is lovely and our girls enjoyed some down time swimming while we were there too. Location is excellent too! The bowling club is across the road and it has a great kids entertainment area including bowling and a climbing wall. There’s a pedestrian / bike path adjacent to the motel and we rode our bikes the few minutes along the river to the break wall and town centre. We even seen dolphins and kangaroos while we were there! Overall we’ve been to Yamba twice now and would definitely stay at Yamba Sun again next time we visit! Thanks Rob!"

"Overnight stay in Yamba on road trip. Booked an ensuite room with private balcony overlooking the ocean. Room renovated and stylish. Very quiet with no noise from the Friday night band audible in room. Plenty of entree/main options on the menu at the onsite restaurant which were well priced and tasty. We booked the day before and requested a window seat for view. Hotel in a great location within walking of main street/beach/alternative dining options/morning coffee."

8/10 Good
"The resort was very clean and staff very friendly, but when you are paying over $500 / night , I think the property needs modernising, new untenciles, air conditioning in all rooms, block out blinds, extra bin bags, a bin in the bathrooms, a fridge without rust spots on it. If you are travelling with a baby who has a pram be prepared to carry up all the steps as no ramps or lifts to your room. Overall we enjoyed our stay but the accommodation definitely needs a renovation for their furnishings."
