A great stay

We really enjoyed our stay. The pool was well maintained and a welcome rest after a long drive.
The room was large, clean and comfortable. An added bonus was the proximity to the Bowlo for a meal. Our son loved the playground. Our room key gave us a member discount which was great.

The room was fairly spacious for just an overnight stopover. The proprietor was very friendly and gave very good advice regarding places to relax & eat, which were all within easy walking distance.
The only very slight downside was the water saving showerhead which was a tad too miserly.

Curmudgen owner

We pulled into the motel lot with unexpected change of plans. The owner was unsympathetic and was charging us for 2 nights out of 5 after much loud discussion of policy. As we were there already and losing the money we decided to regroup and stay and make plans to return due to family emergencies.
The owner was not friendly or empathetic citing he had business to run and turned people away thinking we'd be there for 5 nights.
WELL... next morning he knocked on the door early and said he had \"good news\". He had someone that wanted to book multiple nights and we didnt have to stay the 2nd night afterall. Needless to say we had already rearranged our plans to be able to stay the 2 nights so told him so....I dont think he was happy with that either. He had already charged us for the 2 nights mind you. I guess Kharma does exist.
The motel was clean. It is older. It is nowhere near the beach pictures it shows in the ads. You also need the car to go into town.

Nice stay with helpful owners

We enjoyed our one night stay at the Colonial. It's on a main road but was very quiet. Reasonable sized room with comfortable bed. The owners were very friendly and helpful and provided bowls and cutlery for us to use with our take away meal as well as suggestions for what to do.

Great motel to stay at!

Second time I've stayed here. Rooms are very cosy and quiet. The bed was nice and comfortable and so were the pillows. Love the free unlimited WiFi! Jackie the owner was very lovely and welcoming. If i could make a suggestion, it would be great if the rooms had modern wall mounted air conditioners as the window ones can be a little bit noisy. Highly recommended, will let anyone i know that are going to Ballina to make sure they stay at The Colonial.
