Clean, well managed, excellent staff and customer service. Has great facilities with a community kitchen, laundry and barbecue area for longer stays. The room is fresh and brightly decked out with good appliances and everything you would need. There’s even bikes to hire with great bike paths around the beautiful beaches. It’s a gem of a place!

Property presentation is nice. The place is located directly on the road with incoming traffic to Ballina. Not sound proofed, therefore extremely loud. Also had several large cockroaches wandering into the room from underneath the door.

A great location for a pit stop on our way to the Gold Coast. Ballina was fairly quiet , however there was lots of place to eat near by and walkable from the motel. We loved the retro decor and fairly spacious rooms. The bathrooms were a little cosy, but very adequate. We all enjoyed the pool and loungers also. I’d definitely recommend it
