Good price, super friendly and still do a cooked breakfast which is rare these days.Posted on Dianne LeachTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a pleasure t finally meet Erin. My son and I were coming up for a wedding and needed two rooms. The wedding was at 2pm and check in is usually not til that time. We were arriving at 9.15am so we would be there around 10am. Erin made a beautiful gesture to have our rooms cleaned first and rang me to say they were ready at 10.30am and to come on down. Lovely little rooms with everything you need. Nothing was any trouble when I needed a bit of marmalade and Vegemite and to borrow an aerated knife to cut my bread. I would very happily stay there again if the opportunity arose. Lovely to meet you Erin and I spoke to Nicole on phone and she seems just as nice. Even their dear little doggie will get a mention. Happy days From Di and BrandonPosted on Steve WhitfieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Only stayed one night due to persistent rain. But we found the room to be perfect for us and our Jack Russell. Very clean and the most comfortable bed we had on our trip. Certainly recommend this motel to travellers with a pet. Great breakfast too.Posted on Ross BoyleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In Ballina? Then stay here. Very affordable, clean, comfortable, spacious, friendly hosts. Cooked breakfast was well received. I don't know why this motel is a 3 star rated motel. I have stayed in 4 star motels that don't measure up to this motel. Highly recommend this motel. :)
