Yambil Inn
A saltwater pool and garden five minutes from the airport
About this stay
Yambil Inn works because the garden does more than sit there: a saltwater pool, outdoor seating and barbecue facilities turn the space behind the motor inn into somewhere to spend an evening rather than just a place to park the car. Family rooms come with air-conditioning, a work desk, TV and wardrobe, and every room has a private bathroom, standard across the property rather than an upgrade you have to pay extra for. The location on Yambil Street keeps the property close to the rest of Griffith while still feeling like the edge of town, about five kilometres from Griffith Airport for travellers flying in. Free on-site parking suits anyone arriving by car or towing a van after a stretch of the Kidman Way, and the pool is the kind of feature that turns a stopover into a proper break from the drive.
- Saltwater pool
- Private garden with BBQ facilities
- Free on-site parking
- Family rooms
Our take
Yambil Inn suits families and couples who want a pool and a garden to unwind in without paying resort prices, and the family rooms are a genuine step up from a standard double for anyone travelling with kids. It won't suit travellers chasing a CBD address on Banna Avenue or a restaurant on site, since dinner means a short drive rather than a walk downstairs, but for a garden, a pool and free parking, it delivers exactly what it promises.
- ✓Ask for a family room facing the garden if you want the pool visible from your door when you check in.
- ✓Bring your own barbecue supplies if you plan to use the outdoor cooking area, it's a self-catered setup rather than a staffed one.
- ✓Book ahead for the autumn grape harvest, the family rooms near the pool are among the first to go each year.
Why we love it

Why guests love itThe appeal of Yambil Inn shows up fastest with kids in the car: the saltwater pool sits right behind the motor inn, so a family can check in and be swimming within minutes rather than driving across town for water. The garden setting, with outdoor seating and a barbecue on hand, turns a routine overnight stop into an evening spent outside. Family rooms keep the air-conditioning running and the private bathroom standard, which matters more than it sounds on a hot Riverina afternoon.
