Yamba Sun Motel

8/10 Good
"Great location near centre of town. We booked a small room without an outdoor area which was perfect for our one night stay. But most room had outdoor areas with balconies on the second floor. A very short walk to the Bowls Club, and not far to the Main Street. But if you want easy walking access to the beach, not for you. There is a big hill to get there."

"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."
