Our first trip to Yamba, we stayed 3 nights here and had the most relaxing lovely time. The Managers are very friendly and helpful, great service. The resort is not young, but it is very well maintained. We were lucky enough to get a spa room with perfect views over the river. The room was large and well appointed and... More

Stayed here for a couple of nights on the way back from down South. Good location, easy walk to shopping centre and town. Room had a nice view over the river and was well equipped with a kitchen, nice TV, and good aircon. Quiet (except for birds in the evening!) and roomy. Would certainly stay again.

First time to Yamba, Moby Dicks is easy to find, which is just what you want after a long hot drive. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Our room had a waterfront location, just meters to the private jetty. A very spacious room, with gorgeous view, very clean and everything worked. Good value here, would stay again.

We have been staying at the Moby Dick for several years for a week or two over the Christmas Holidays and have never been disappointed. While the hotel is not in the centre of town all rooms have a great river view and of the occasional pelican. It is also right next door to the fisherman's co-op if you are... More

Spent just one night there. The place has all regular features for a motor inn. However the location is great and all rooms have a waterfront view. Could become very noisy in the mornings due to birds. If you plan to stay longer than a night try to get a ground floor room as it has a direct door to... More

A large comfortable room with stove, microwave, and free outdoor gas BBQ. Stunning location overlooking the river with a nice balcony opening onto lawns. Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms could do with modernising and WiFi did not work in room 1. We would stay again.

We stayed for 2 nights in an upstairs room that looked out over the water. The room was spacious, with a small kitchenette, sofa, table and chairs and a nice queen bed. The rooms are not flash, but are quite comfortable and very clean. Although we had an air conditioner, the room was cool enough just from the sea breeze... More

This motel was rated #1 in Yamba by TA. I was disappointed as it was much older than I expected & the location wasn't ideal. However the room was big & clean. The service was very good, the managers gave us a good price & were very friendly.
