Amazing location, close to everything & easy walk to Yamba town. Apartment big & very comfortable. Lovely outlook over the grounds & river frontage. Breakfast very satisfying, delicious & not expensive. Would definitely stay at Moby Dick Resort again.

Great 10 day stay

We were not sure of what to expect with our room because you just cannot trust photos but it was great. Large refurbished room, very clean, great view, fantastic areas to use such as the BBQ & grassed areas. So close within walking distance to most cafes & restaurants. Loved our stay. Will return.
Lynn, 10-night trip

6/10 Good

We had a family room. Lighting was bad, crock coaches where rife. Shame but these places should do more to make there rooms better
Louise, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Unfortunately it was like staying in a kindergarten a couple of families just took over the two barbecue areas wine glasses were missing and coffee cups had not been cleaned properly and no soap we have stayed a few times before but this time was not good .
Cheryl, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The receptionist was lovely. The room was fantastic. The view was fantastic. The only downside was the numerous groups of young couples with very loud kids everywhere. And loud surf skis. Nothing to do with hotel. Hotel was fantastic but I didn't enjoy having very young children screaming all day. Slamming doors and yelling. I must be getting old.
Maree, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

They could do better...

the place is nice bed is comfy but service could do way better. Cleanliness is a bit of an issue. They don't do daily cleaning - not acceptable nowadays that we still have Covid threat!! They have coffee machine but for our 3 days stay, we only got 2 capsules. So if you love your coffee make sure you bring your own... :(

We love the pelicans

A very enjoyable stay at a very well appointed unit beside the river. Great sunset views with beautiful walking options and beautiful sea bird life.
Gary, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Clifford, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
