Welcome to Sundowner Motel – Seaside Village Suites in the heart of Yamba. Recently opened and lovingly restored to its original mid-century era, this boutique motel brings a fresh new escape to Australia’s iconic NSW coastline.
Suite No. 3 – The Galah Suite – is an oversied one bedroom apartment in the heart of Yamba village, just a short stroll from Main Beach and the iconic ocean pool. Flexible and inviting, it’s perfect for couples or even a solo retreat.
Inside, you’ll find layers of colour and vintage character — French linen-draped beds, a kitchenette with coffee machine, air fryer, and all the essentials for easy nights in. While there’s no stove or oven, guests are welcome to use the BBQ provided. The open-plan living space opens out to the native garden and lawn, perfect for soaking up the sea air with outdoor seating right at your doorstep.
Love to cook? Take a look at our Cockatoo or Kookaburra Suites upstairs — both feature full kitchens for the ultimate foodie stay.
The space includes:
* Bedroom: One king bed styled with luxurious French linen and a 55` TV.
* Custom Kitchenette: Coffee machine, toaster, fridge, and air fryer — everything you need for easy mornings or lazy nights in.
* Open-Plan Living: Daybed, vintage hi-fi with Bluetooth sound, 4-person dining, and Wi-Fi.
* Bathroom: Separate shower and toilet, finished with playful checked tiling and vintage style.
* Garden View: Perfect for afternoon sundowners after a long, salty day at the beach.
* Shared Backyard: Hot outdoor shower, BBQ, festoon lights, and relaxed outdoor dining.
The Sundowner vibe From the retro peach, mustard, and seafoam blue palette to one-of-a-kind vintage finds, every corner of Sundowner is designed to transport you. With beach towels, umbrellas, and a curated beach basket waiting, you’re ready to hit Yamba’s best surf breaks and sandy coves in style.
Location Perks Stroll to the Wednesday Farmers Market for fresh produce, grab gourmet essentials from Bowens Deli or the local butcher, and choose from cult-fave cafés and restaurants on your doorstep – Paradiso, Playa Bodega, El Caso, The Kiosk, and Karrikin.
Perfect for Gatherings & Retreats Planning something special? Book all three Sundowner apartments for a retreat, offsite, or family gathering. The downstairs area transforms beautifully into a yoga studio, creative workshop, or private hangout for your crew.
Getting Here Fly into Ballina and enjoy a coastal drive, or transfer in with Yamba Coastal Rides. Once here, everything is walkable – though a car helps explore nearby gems like Angourie. EV drivers are covered with a Tesla destination charger and outdoor plug for other vehicles.
Need to Know
The Galah Suite is located downstairs, directly beneath the Kookaburra Suite. While soundproofing measures are in place, it’s still apartment-style living, so a little sound may carry. Quiet hours are 9 PM – 8 AM. Sundowner sits in the vibrant heart of Yamba village — expect an easy, seaside buzz rather than a remote, whisper-quiet escape.
Your Stay, Your Way Your stay, your way. Make yourself at home – Sundowner is a self-service boutique motel designed for easy, laid-back stays.
