Reception was through google translator as the polite young man couldn't speak any English and I don't speak Chinese, which i didn't expect in Balranald. Bistro staff were polite but when I order and pay for an entree specifically to come out before the mains, with that exact request, only to have entree and main arrive together is appalling. Crumbled lamb cutlets should be succulent, lightly crumbed and golden but when they have been deep fried they come out burnt, teeth shattering crunchy and dry it is refund worthy.

The sleeping area a very reasonable size with plenty of room for baggage etc. Bathroom and shower area small. Dated but very clean. Overall adequate. Had lamb cutlets at the affiliated restaurant. They tasted stale and very tough so couldnt eat. From that experience would not recommend restaurant but motel was clean and adequate

As mentioned by many reviews, the property is very dated but it was clean and tidy and the staff friendly. My main issue was the air conditioner in room 3. Given we were in the depths of winter, a heater is definitely needed. When turning it on, it literally screamed and whined and there was no setting where it didn’t seem to do this. You had to raise your voices to talk over it. By the time we worked this out it was late and we had unpacked the car. So, to solve the issue and not have to change rooms, we put it on high heat and then turned it off so we could sleep. By morning it was very cold, but at least we could sleep.

An absolute dump! IT'S NOTHING LIKE THE PHOTOS! We booked a twin single room, on arrival only one bed prepared. We waited for the other bed to be made up. Then noticed water all over the bathroom floor. THE TOILET LEAKED WATER. Obviously had been leaking before, hence the silastic around the bowl. Pity i didnt take photos to share. NUP! We got our refund, left there disgusted & drove another 600klms home. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Cramped, basic ‘bed for the night’ accommodation, tiny bathroom, cold uncarpeted floor. Overpriced at $170 a night compared to another motel very close by. But staff welcome was ok and the room was very clean.

Don't be fooled by the shabby exterior of the property, this motel provides all you need if you are wanting a clean, safe and quite place for one night. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I could access my room after hours and the room was clean and very comfortable. I'll stay there again.

On the positive it is actually relatively quiet and the bed was very clean and comfortable. Very accommodating of my furry companion. But the carpet and bathroom felt very dirty. And the staff were almost non existent. I’m not sure how I would’ve contacted them if I needed to, which was possible as a solo female traveller. A bit of customer device and extra deep cleaning would go a long way to improving this place.

What you would expect from a Hotel Motel in this price range. Clean and comfortable and good meal. A bit tired but that’s why it is $120 a night.
