Great little motel

We have stayed here several times over the years, it's a great little motel in a quiet location off the highway and close to the river. This was our first stay since the new owners took over and we were relieved to find that the motel hasn't really changed in essentials - the whole place still feels fresh and clean and full of vintage character. A warm welcome, generous hospitality and pretty much everything you could need in the well-equipped room - and so nice to see the garden being cared for, too. An excellent place to rest up after a long drive.

Great place to stopover

Lovely motel in Balranald. The Manager upgraded us on arrival and the room was clean and comfortable. Great place to stopover for a night or two.
