“Great clean motel with comfortable amenities as well as friendly and helpful staff / owners”
Ballina Homestead was very clean and the 1 bedroom suite was really comfortable and practical with the kitchenette facilities. We were travelling with a basketball team for a tournament so our room was a great place to re-fuel and relax between matches. The coffee shop on site was also a great addition. We found the staff / owners all really friendly and helpful. We will definately make this our go to motel when visiting Ballina.

Bed was warm and comfortable. Clean room. Soup used for washing hands and in shower for body wash not a very pleasant aroma.
