After a day at the pools, Waterworld Te Rapa, we were all very tired and didn't feel like driving back up to Auckland with 3 children and our elderly Grandfather. Instead we decided to stay the night here and we are so glad we chose Ballinor Motor Inn. From the moment I called to book, we received first class service.... More

We ended up staying here for two nights and I could have stayed longer! Dave was so friendly and made us feel so welcome. I have never stayed anywhere and had this kind of welcome. He gave us some good suggestions on things to look at, nothing was a problem and the two lollipops were greatly received by our child.... More

The private touch of owner Dave Walter is everywhere! Clean, sharp, every amenity one could need, loved the kitchen supplied with all we needed. If you need anything you need just ask Dave!

Motel owner rang me a week out from our stay to enquire what I wanted the room for. I advised it was for a hens weekend and he got really nasty and told me my room was cancelled immediately. Apparently they do not take bookings for hens nights and this is advised on their website. After a big search by... More

difficult to find good accommodation in hamilton, so this motel has to rank as good for hamilton. rooms were clean, host was friendly enough, plenty of tv channels, free internet, air conditioner bad points - car parks available for for tiny cars, and the bed sinks. sleep quality was really poor. overall, ok More
