This was our first stay at this lovely resort and it certainly won’t be the last. The apartment was spacious and tastefully decorated to complement the gorgeous harbour view. It is probably a 20- 30 minute walk to the town but it is a delightful walk mostly with harbour views. Special thanks to the lovely lady on reception who made our stay even more enjoyable.

We enjoyed our stay at Moby Dick's in a Studio room. It was comfortable, clean and spacious and had everything included we needed for our three nights stay. A bonus was the very large TV my husband enjoyed. It is located on the river front with a lovely view. I would highly recommend this Resort for your holiday in Yamba

Lovely spacious room (deluxe twin ground floor), great kitchenette with microwave, two hot plates, coffee pod machine, kettle, toaster and a good size fridge/freezer. Modern bathroom. Had a dining table with 4 chairs and a two seater lounge plus a table with 2 chairs on the porch. Beautiful views of the river and lots of seating on the lawn area. A 20 min flat walk to town and the break wall. Fish n chips next door and a cafe and Chinese restaurant across the road. Parking close to the room. Air conditioner worked well and was quiet. Even though the motel is on the main busy road you cannot hear it from the room or on the porch. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay.
