Clean and comfortable basic motel”
Just needed a place to spend the night.Did not want to waste the views by powering through Ballina and Byron Bay through the night on the way to Gold Coadt. Arrived at the motel at around 10pm after a 6 hour drive. Was able to contact the manager and gave me instructions on where the key was kept. Got a fa,mily room as we were 2 couples. Place was clean, beds, pillows and linen are what you would find in a nice hotel. The curtains were just bit dusty and gave me an allergy. Overall a good enough place to sleep in before heading out somewhere else the next day.
Ok for 3 nights”
We stayed for a bowls tournament so location to the club this was held at was great, just down the road. Otherwise it was a good 10-15 minute walk to Main Street. We had breakfast at motel 1 morning and it was very nice. Rooms need major updating but they were clean and tidy and fine for our stay. Only gripe was the $200 per night we paid but that was over peak Christmas time so expensive everywhere in Ballina that time of year
Hi Brooke, Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay at Ballina Homestead Motel, we appreciate it. We do have a refurbishment plan in place and continue to upgrade our accommodation rooms after the school holidays with 1/3 completed so far. We can assure you that all profits make over the Christmas period will be reinvested into the business to upgrade our facilities. Looking forward to seeing you again at some stage in the future. Kind regards, Michael
Comfortable, quiet”
Very pleasant. Close to shopping area. Away from main traffic route, especially since the Ballina by-pass is finished.
Pleasantly Surprised”
We often stay overnight at Motels when going longer distances, to break up the trip. My review is based on a Motel. With that in mind, I can not fault this establishment. Very pleased.

Great place to stay in Ballina”
Great value, clean, air con and fan, microwave, recently renovated, extremely friendly staff, undercover pakking. The motel is within 2min walk to bowlo where we had a lovely meal. They also provided a membership card for discounts at the bowlo. There is also a gorgeous little cafe adjoining the motel were we had a delicious breakfast. We will be back!

Good helpful management. The motel is under renovation as at Feb 2017, so former well-used rooms are being modernized; which should see an increase in scores.

We had a pleasant stopover on our way north to Brisbane. Everything was perfect and this is the reason why we have used this motel on other occasions.
Couldn't be Cleaner”

Older style motel, on road into and out of town.”
while this hotel was quite a long walk from the main shopping street, it was within walking distance of the local bowling club, which provided reasonably priced meals. the hotel room was a decent size and recently refurbished. the undercover parking was a bonus, keeping the car cool. overall, good value for money.
our room was very spacious and comfortable. ”
The motel was very nice, room was large and quiet, service friendly and helpful.
A very comfortable stay at a bargain price.”
My stay was all I hoped it would be . The staff were extremely helpful and friendly , the room was excellent . It had everything I wanted at a reasonable price . Will stay again.
Relaxing and enjoyable stay”
We loved our stay here. It was great to come back to the room after a big day of sightseeing to find our beds made, clean towels and the room clean and tidy. I could sit back with a coffee while the rest of the family swam in the pool. Definitely will stay here again.
Excellent stay”
More than happy with our time here. It was a good base from which to explore and shop. You really do need a vehicle if staying here but providing you have one, can thoroughly recommend it.
