About this property

Riverview Boutique Motel

The Riverview Boutique Motel was built in 1880 and has many charms.

Ideally located for those travelling between Sydney and Brisbane, just 3km off the Pacific Highway, Nambucca Heads offers a great stop over spot or alternatively a destination in itself with wonderful beaches, rivers, fishing, seafood and much more.

There are 8 rooms on the first floor from standard to river view and a river view suite. Most rooms have views of the Nambucca River which is located approximately 50m from the motel. We also have one ground floor room with a large deluxe ensuite.

All upstairs rooms have their own balcony, and all rooms have a bathroom, air-conditioning, dining table/desk, microwave, bar fridge and electric kettle and is a great base from which to explore all that Nambucca offers.

Breakfast is included and guests have a choice of fully cooked or continental breakfast which can be enjoyed on their balcony, in their room or in our light and airy dining room.

The Nambucca River is a short walk away, as are Matilda's Restaurant, Wharf Street Café, The Boat Shed Café, the RSL and the V Wall Tavern.

Take a walk along the riverside to the V Wall and peruse the many painted rocks which families have claimed over the years and re-paint with each visit.

We are located within 100m of the boat ramp or guests may wish to hire a boat or kayak from the boat shed and explore the Nambucca River and local wildlife.

Tennis courts are available for hire across the road, there are parks along the riverfront and a boardwalk follows the river in both directions.

Great halfway stop between BNE & SYD
Nambucca Heads is pretty & has much going for it. The Riverview Boutique Motel was a great choice for our overnight stay while driving to Sydney from Brisbane. We arrived much later than anticipated, yet were welcomed on our arrival and just made it in time to enjoy pizzas down the road at Matilda's before their kitchen closed at 20:30. Our room was neat, shower great and beds comfortable. The cooked breakfast the next morning hit the spot & was a great start for our next leg to Sydney.

Special stay in Nambucca Heads
A very unusual motel! More hotel than motel because it’s actually Nambucca Heads first ‘hotel’, built in 1887 and still retains its original oven! Lovely hosts Rena and Ziggy are smiling, attentive and genuine hosts. Ideal stopover on the way up or down the coast. Satisfying breakfast is included in the tariff.

Perfect stopover
On our way north, this was the perfect stop! The rooms are cosy and welcoming. Rena and Ziggy are busy making everyone’s stay perfect. Clean, neat, good hot water, Netflix and comfy beds. Brekky nourishing and thoughtfully presented. What more could u want on a quick stopover when heading north?! The history & location of the property are interesting too! Thanks Rena & Ziggy.
