Cubana resort Nambucca

The resort lacked warmth and ambience the room was sparsely furnished, seating was extremely uncomfortable one redeeming factor the bed was comfortable The menu offered very little choice there was seven dishes to choose from all Mexican, we ate at the RSL,food there was delicous and plenty of choiceThe Cubana resort was very disappointing we paid $774 dollars for three nights and left a day early.

A great place for a stopover or weekend stay. Quirky, fun decor, clean and tidy rooms and facilities. Restaurant on site was closed on the day we were there which was a pity as the menu looked great. Great value for money short stay.

Amazing stay and great service from all staff! The room was comfortable, very clean and the view was lovely, of the gardens and the lake, so peaceful. The food at the bar is amazing too - the full restaurant is opening soon which will probably have great food too! The bed was really comfortable and they also had Netflix which was handy! The area is beautiful - such great beaches and views. 10/10

Great Motel with Pet facilities - Spotless!!!

Great place to stay. Exceptionally clean and tidy. Staff nice. Rooms comfortable. It was the first time we have taken our little dog on a log road trip with no caravan so was worried about staying in a pet room, but I have to say it was a cracking resort and the room was tidy!

Very clean place and tidy ,staff were very friendly and helpful but I wish the fridge in the room kept our things colder and had a freezer and the room didn't have a smoke detector I noticed and a safe to keep valuables safe so I got a bit paranoid about keeping any valuable in but other wise what a nice place to stay
