Cute, clean and newly renovated retro style accommodation. Perfect stay for one night with family of 4. Shower was amazing and bed fairly comfortable. Pool was clean and great for a quick dip on a hot day. Service was super friendly and helpful. There is a shared kitchen to cook up a meal and laundry (although we didn’t use these amenities).

Lovely vibe at this motel. It’s had a beautiful retro style refurbishment and the rooms are fresh, bright and clean. I had some issues with the door to my room but the staff were prompt to address it and very apologetic. I would stay here again next time I am in Ballina.

Earlier survey maligned the room unfairly. The glass shards on the floor were not there on our arrival, rather they were bought in by us in the carton of drinks we had just purchased. So our stay on the whole was good to excellent thanks

Very clean. Staff very pleasant. Would definitely stay again if in the area. Not much order to the parking. We had to park quite a distance from our room as there were already people in our space.
