Excellent location
Virtually on The Strand, just past the amazing Bayan trees. Spacious room, good shower, with extra touches : crockery and cutlery, and a microwave oven.
Our room was up some steep stairs, but there are other, less precipitous rooms too.

Yongala Lodge Motel On The Strand
I had gone away with my family and enjoyed it. I'm just not too sure if someone other than myself had entered the room while I had gone out for the day. Other than that staff were very hospitable and friendly and were extremely happy to help when needed so I thank them and I'll love to return back. Also pet friendly my dog was extremely happy during her stay also.

Location location
It is very closely located to the Strand, which is great if thats what you ate after. On the downside it is expensive for what you get though.

Loved our stay. Had a twin room so could visit my dad before hospital in the morning and it was super comfortable, great having a mini fridge, kettle and microwave in the room plus full sized plates and metal cutlery. Shower had ample hot water.
