Great little homely motel with exceptional staff.

We stayed here for 3 nights as we were going to the Bluesfest. Our room with a queen bed & 2 single beds had everything we needed. We arrived early & the lovely staff at reception got our room ready immediately so we could get in to get ready for the festival. All of the staff were so friendly & professional. We will definitely stay here again next time In Ballina. Highly recommend!!
