  No electricity-no care

  30 Jan 2026

  We had a two night booking, second day electricity failed. Electricians came for the afternoon ripped out our headboards and said problems could not be fixed. The wiring was old and needed to be required. One power point worked so we were given an extension cord to power our devices. No compensation given . No care. Rhonda Bradfield, Other at Yamba Aston Motel, responded to this review Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry for the disruption caused during your stay due to the unexpected electrical fault.As soon as the issue was identified, licensed electricians were arranged and attended the room the same day. They worked as quickly and respectfully as possible to investigate the fault and ensure safety, however due to the age of the wiring, a permanent repair could not be completed immediately. At all times, guest safety was our priority.We acknowledge that this situation was frustrating, and we did offer a $100 credit as a gesture of goodwill in recognition of the inconvenience experienced. We are sorry if this was not reflected in your review or if it did not meet your expectations.Please be assured that we do care deeply about our guests’ comfort and experience. Maintenance works of this nature are never ideal, and we appreciated your patience while our team and external trades worked to resolve the issue as best as possible at the time.We thank you again for your feedback, as it assists us in continuing to improve our facilities and guest experience.Kind regards,Management

  Good clean accommodation

  29 Oct 2025

  Good clean accommodation in a quiet secluded location at end of a cut-de-sac but close enough to town with shops, cafes, etc within a short walk.

  Underwhelming experience at the Aston Motel.

  15 May 2025

  Upon arrival, we were greeted by a family of kangaroos which was a great start to our stay!Unfortunately, that's where the fun ended......The room appeared 'clean' at first but this was not the case by the end of the night. We sat in the beds and within 30 minutes, myself and the two other guests were itching like crazy. It must be the linen mattresses but we paid the price by waking up the following morning with rashes all over our faces....As for the bathrooms, we were met by a tribe of ants - a real community feeling. Thankfully, we used almost the full bottle of bug killer to get rid of the majority but they kept appearing - in numbers! Another strange aspect of the room was the door....There was a large gap between the door and the wall frame itself, so in the morning, there was A LOT of light coming through to the room. This also meant it was easier for the ants to make a return. We were more than ready to leave the next morning, considering the pool was complete out of use and FULL of dirt. I get it's the off season but this should have been advertised prior to arrival. I'm sure the pool is nice in the Summer but we didn't get to experience the amenities. Don’t even start on the wifi - the best connection was in the car outside the room. Our phones kept disconnecting and to be honest, we were happy it was one night and done by the morning. Yamba Bowlo, General Manager at Yamba Aston Motel, responded to this review Hi Emer D,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we’re really glad you enjoyed the unexpected welcome party from our local kangaroo residents, we’re truly sorry to hear the rest of your stay didn’t meet expectations.Cleanliness and comfort are top priorities for us, so we’re very concerned to hear about the issues you experienced with the bedding and the presence of ants. This is certainly not the standard we aim to provide, and we’ll be investigating these concerns with our housekeeping and maintenance teams immediately.Regarding the door gap and lighting, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention—these are helpful insights that will assist us in improving the experience for future guests. We also apologize for the pool being out of service. You're absolutely right that this should have been clearly communicated prior to your arrival, and we’ll ensure future updates on amenities are more transparent.As for the Wi-Fi, we understand how important a reliable connection is, especially when traveling. We’re currently reviewing the network setup to improve coverage and consistency across all rooms.We’re truly sorry your visit was underwhelming, but we value your honesty—it helps us grow and do better. If your travels bring you back our way, we’d love the opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable stay.Warm regards,

  Very enjoyable

  Brief stay at Yamba for Xmas to catch up with grandchildren at caravan park. Great location, very comfortable and lovely to have a little down time from kids. Very enjoyable and lovely hosts. Pool was clean with spar. Close to town for coffee and breakfast.
