We met up here for a family birthday weekend...4 siblings & spouses. Everything about Moby Dick was fabulous...large rooms, well equipped, great parking & wonderful location. The views from our room & balcony were perfect, weather was glorious. We used the large bar-b-que area one night, also great. Staff were helpful.

Wifi was a bit hit & miss, otherwise no issues.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Moby Dicks. The room was quiet, extremely spacious, modern and clean. A good sized kitchen and fridge including everything you need. The king sized bed was very comfortable and the outlook from the balcony was beautiful looking out over the river. Many pelicans could be seen enjoying the jetty which is for the use of the guests. The staff were friendly and customer service exceptional. We had a sporting event to attend and they arranged for our room to be cleaned to enable an earlier check in to help us out, which we greatly appreciated. We would highly recommend a stay at this Resort Motel, located within an easy drive to access everything in Yamba

The rooms open out to the river and the grounds are beautiful. You can sit out on your balcony or down on the grass area on chairs. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. There is a supermarket a short distance away by car. A short 4-5 minutes drive into the centre of Yamba.

Everything was fine. However, I believe there is no lift to the first floor so if mobility is a problem, book a ground floor room.

Loved the rooms that looked out to the water. Room was spacious and really well appointed, Love the small pontoon where we could put fishing lines in. Also enjoyed the balcony to enjoy the wonderful weather

Not the hotels fault but there was a work crew digging up road or similar. Didnt appreciate the jackhammer so early in the morning. Poor sign posting to get in when the excavation was encroaching near the driveway

The location was wonderful from early sunrise to sunset. It is definitely the best motel we have stayed in. The room was huge with full refrigerator and kitchen.

2 pillows per person. There were lots of pillows on the bed but only 1 each with normal pillow cases.

Exceptional view from our room.. the beautiful Waterway and especially the pelicans! The room was huge and comfortable with a lounge, table and chairs and a kitchenette. Staff friendly and cleanliness exceptional.

The refrigerator was a little noisy… that’s it!

Location adjacent to the Clarence River, with the morning sun streaming into the room, with breakfast on the patio overlooking the pelicans and the prawn trawlers returning from their overnight fishing was simply marvelous!

A beautiful location on the river. Rooms were spacious, well equipped and exceptionally clean. A short walk to the town centre. I would definitely stay here again if in Yamba.

The rooms are an older style but the outlook and cleanliness does not make this an issue.
