Top Pillar Valley Hotel Reviews

Glenwood Tourist Park & Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable bed, good shower pressure, easy to find and park"

Yamba Sun Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent quiet well maintained and managed motel in Yamba - rooms have a great aspect on the pool which gives those specific rooms a real holiday vibe. I’ve stayed here four times and I’ve always found this motel really well priced, whichever season (high, medium or low)."

Pacific Hotel Yamba

10/10 Excellent

"Although taking the cheaper room it had a view to die for and the room was lovely and clean with dining on site. Although they have live music some nights, this is told prior so no complaints there. Plenty of dining options if you don't want to eat at the hotel and walkable. Great stay."

Heritage River Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"What a great stop over - staff were friendly, room was clean and quiet. Pizza place and coles 2 mins walk from the motel. Perfect to rest our heads on our way up to Queensland"

Ulmarra Hotel

8/10 Good

"Bfast even included gluten free option. Had everything we needed and beds were comfy."

Fitzroy Motor Inn Grafton

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and beds fairly comfortable. TV and WiFi worked. Fine for a one night stay."

Angourie Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent accommodation. Only minor concern- Tennis court lights were broken."

The Sands Resort

8/10 Good

"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."

The Cove Yamba

8/10 Good

"Fabulous position. We stayed in a motel room overlooking the garden and pool. Comfortable and just enough space for a few nights. If staying longer would recommend a one bedroom unit. Staff very helpful, we enjoyed our stay."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Pillar Valley?

The best area to stay in Pillar Valley is around the town center and along the main road, Pillar Valley Road, for convenient access to amenities and the beach.This central area provides easy access to the Pillar Valley General Store, a key landmark for groceries and local information, and is just a short drive from the main beach access points. The layout is fairly spread out, with accommodations often set back from the road, offering a quiet environment.For couples and families, staying in this central area is ideal. You're close to the essential services, and the beach is just minutes away by car, making day trips straightforward. The proximity to the beach means you can easily enjoy swimming, surfing, or simply relaxing on the sand.Travelers looking for a more secluded experience might consider properties slightly off Pillar Valley Road, closer to the national park boundaries.
