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.
