I liked was its central location to most things. The room was clean and presentable. The photos you see on the webs are not the same as what you get. When I booked there was no information that I had to pay extra because I had a pet. The rooms are no actually sound proof, the milk is not replenished daily. The mesh of the windows were dirty, needs weekly cleaning. This motel is ok the stay. I will not be returning.

Dear Wayne, Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay again at Ballina Homestead Motel, we appreciate it. Please check the booking process carefully to avoid disappointment as it clearly states that pets are on request only and that a pet service fee applies. We will take your comments regarding the windows up with our housekeepers to ensure our standards are met.
