Yamba Sun Motel

Yamba Sun Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent quiet well maintained and managed motel in Yamba - rooms have a great aspect on the pool which gives those specific rooms a real holiday vibe. I’ve stayed here four times and I’ve always found this motel really well priced, whichever season (high, medium or low)."

Pacific Hotel Yamba

Pacific Hotel Yamba

10/10 Excellent
"Although taking the cheaper room it had a view to die for and the room was lovely and clean with dining on site. Although they have live music some nights, this is told prior so no complaints there. Plenty of dining options if you don't want to eat at the hotel and walkable. Great stay."

"Close to beach and town. If walking into town there is a steep hill to walk up which will keep you fit. Fairly noisy at night with the pub across the road. Great hosts. Very easy to communicate with and very prompt with their responses. It does have a view of the beach but not from the balcony."

The Sands Resort

The Sands Resort

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."
