While the property itself is okay, the rating is regarding the poor customer service of the property. Unfortunately the property owner chose to stop communicating and refused a refund ä when there was an order to prepare for evacuation for Ballina CBD in place during tropical cyclone Alfred issued by NSW State Emergency Services. 0 out of 0

Centrally Located - Comfortable

I had the friendliest checkin experience. Motel is fine, in a quiet street,the rooms have been somewhat renovated. The air-conditioning could have been positioned better, but in general ok for the price.

Lovely motel.

This neat, clean and tidy single story motel was a terrific find in Ballina. Well located to the riverfront with coffee shops, restaurants and a Woolies supermarket within a short 5 minutes walk. The best feature of this motel was its common area, containing a fridge, cooktop and microwave with lots of equipment supplied for meal preparation. There was a dining table and lounge area with a large TV and board games- a great idea for families or travellers looking to save some money on entertainment and eating out. There was also a guest laundry and free car parking outside your room.
