Ballina Colonial Motel

Inn

My young grand daughter stayed at this motel last night (29th March). We booked her late in the evening but it was no problem with the owner. He was so nice and so helpful. He left a light on for her and for safety put her in the room next to he and his wife. This is Georgia's first big venture from Darwin to the Gold Coast then to Victoria, needless to say we were worried about her though she's very excited at doing this by herself. In the morning she slept in and Georgia's mum rang the owner as G wasn't answering her phone. The owner went and woke her, told her she could still go and have a shower, gave her a talk about being careful on the road due to road works, police being out on a long weekend and how to get to Newcastle. This is 5* service and if I'm ever going through Ballina this is where I'll be staying. As a motel owner myself I know what late bookings can be like after a long day, I also appreciate all those extras, people just don't realise how hard it can be at the end of the day. Thank you so very much for your kindness and I will tell all who will listen who are heading up your way just how wonderful you were.

Great place to stay. And lovely people that run the motel.

Lovely, clean and quiet. Close to the Cherry Street club which is good. Great hosts and were tolerant even tho I had absentmindedly used the blanket off the small bed which had to be remade… the manager was very kind. Definately recommended.

An absolutely lovely reception, very friendly and helpful owners. Rooms were large and very clean. Well priced too.

Good clean motel. Ownerd were very helpful and friendly. Can recommend.

We selected this motel based on the positive reviews left by other satisfied customers. We were very impressed with the customer service we received over our 4 night stay and can understand why other people rated the Colonial Motel so highly. Dereck the owner warmly greeted us on arrival, explaining we could use the local bowls club just down the road. Their pool is lovely and clean, in fact our room was spotless — with free Wi-Fi. Our compliments to their housekeeping staff who did a great job keeping our room spotlessly clean. They can provide a cooked breakfast for a small fee. The bathroom in our unit had been renovated fairly recently, which was another big bonus, the shower pressure was great. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the location, and if you needed supplies the local shops and shopping mall are just a few minutes away by car.

Very clean place and nice owners.

Lovely and clean really should be 4 stars not 3 and half. Handy to everything.

Quiet, clean and comfy. Staff friendly and helpful.

We experienced great service and a comfortable and well presented room.

Pretty standard small motel in a provincial city. Clean, moderately well-equipped room, friendly hosts. Pool, free Wi-Fi, but no laundry.

Was ok for the amount paid. Very basic.

Nice and neat family room. New bathroom. Lovely people.

Paull and Elaine were fantastic, made my stay so enjoyable but unfortunately all too brief. I will be back! Dave.
