Just had three nights at the Fun N Sun Motel in Ballina. It was clean, comfortable and the perfect spot to stay while enjoying the Byron BluesFest. The owners were welcoming and very helpful. It was a very relaxed and pleasant stay.

We booked in here at the last minute and were able to get a room for 2 adults and 3 teenagers. It's an old motel but it was well looked after, clean and quiet. Also the perfect distance fro the highway for a stopover, close enough to allow quick entry and exit, far enough to be quiet.

looking for a value-for-money overnight stay en route from Coff's harbour to Brisbane, we found the Fun and Sun Motel on the outskirts of Ballina. A really friendly welcome, choice of rooms and its location made us decide to stop there. our room was clean with a view of the garden and patio area. There was even a mini-kitchen, so... More

We stayed here for 2 nights while driving up the coast and very much enjoyed our stay here. The rooms are clean, the bed is comfortable, the air con works great, there is undercover parking, the road is far enough away that noise isn't a problem, the pool area is nice, it's a short walk to supermarkets, bottle shops, and...

If you're looking for a good value, clean, quiet, well equipped place to sleep in ballina this place would be a good choice. Our room was very clean and the front desk staff warm and welcoming. Rooms are well equipped although a toaster would be a great addition to room 7. It's a good spot for a quiet beer...Dan murphy's... More

This was a surprising find. It's not all that close to the main part of town but fine if you have a car. The staff were very friendly and helpful from the time I booked to the day we left. The rooms were extremely clean, it was a small 2 bed unit, but with everything you needed. The pool was... More

It's a room - albeit a small one. Stayed in 2 b/r apartment - think small. QB was comfortable. Undercover parking was a bonus - keeping the car cool and the split A/C worked very well. Rooms were very clean. TV was a bit small but at least its LCD. Full Kitchenette & bar fridge, with supermarket, pub and Dan... More

We like the traditional Australian country motel and this is a great example. We stayed overnight en route from Gold Coast to urunga. The manager was really friendly and warm, rooms were clean and spacious and it was less than $90 on one of the booking sites for a room with a double and a single bed. There was a... More

It was a last minute booking for bluesfest and much much cheaper than byron with buses running from Ballina, so It worked out and I enjoyed the accommodation while we were there!

I stayed here on my way from Sydney to the Gold Coast and was very happy with it. For the price, I couldn't have asked for more. The hotel is quite old, but for its age the rooms are spotlessly clean (something I'm phobic about if it's an old place) and everything runs well (water pressure is strong and there's... More
