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

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.
