Across recent stays at The Cubana Resort Nambucca Heads, guests highlight spacious, generally clean rooms, friendly staff, a quiet location with attractive gardens and pool-spa, and pet-friendly convenience, while noting inconsistent restaurant availability and occasional dated features or maintenance lapses.

Some rooms feature balconies or patios overlooking the gardens or lake, while others feel dated or quirky and lack simple kitchen items like a microwave, crockery, or cutlery.

The facilities and restaurant is really great. The grounds are beautiful. The room is very basic but clean and it's great to have complimentary guest laundry on site. Its very kid friendly and nice and close to the river. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. My family had a nice stay.

THE BEST!! I loved my stay here. The girls at reception were just the friendliest and made my dog and I feel very welcome. There was extra fun things availables ; steam room, pool, push bike and SUP hire. The whole place is so fun and gorgeous. Great grounds to walk around with my dog. I was going to have their venues breakfast in the morning with my dog on the deck but it had been raining so the lovely lady at reception sat me at a table right next to the door and got a towel for dog to sit on! The girls were great to ask about local places and things to do. The FREE guest laundry was another favourite of mine as someone who travels alot. Plenty of parking options which was good for me since I was in my work truck. I can't wait to stay here again!!

Clean room, bed was fine, room was dated but fine. We called up to pick up a child's favourite blanket and pillow that we accidentally left behind. We were told they'd call back if found, without getting any details about name/phone number/room number/description of items/date of stay and rushed off the call. After asking to provide clarification they called back and said nothing was found. The location is convenient and quiet.

The Cubana Resort is located in a peaceful and quiet location in Nambucca Heads and is walking distance to the river and the beach. The room and facilities were great, but I had a small concern with the room that was allocated to me. However, it was quickly resolved by the Manager who was very nice to me and welcoming. She also made my stay as comfortable as possible and made me want to stay there again. The staff were very friendly and courteous. The food and drinks on offer were great too. Would highly recommend this place, which is great value for money.

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
