Find a Great Motel Balook

"Perfect little getaway spot for a family whale watching tour we booked, boat departs just 300 metres down the road.The house was clean and the pantry well stocked with kitchen staples like olive oil, salt, pepper, sugar, coffee. Always a nice touch as it can be a nuisance when cooking and you have to bring or buy absolutely everything with you.Having the Foxtel and wifi was great too, alittle tricky to figure out how the tv worked at first, but the owners thoughtfully put together a comprehensive guide with instructions for everything in the house. Its a quiet spot yes, but there's lots to do in the area that's not too far away in the car. Personally I liked the peace and quiet without loads of people everywhere. If you like being in the centre of things with trendy cafes and cute country bakeries on every corner, perhaps not for you. However, for people looking to secure a reasonably priced peaceful retreat with gorgeous sunsets by the beach to enjoy with family/ friends- well worth booking!!Ps do yourselves a favour and book the whale tour- truly magical "

"Great service wonderful staff"

"Very welcoming and clean place to stay.Great service "

"Clean, comfortable bed, well maintained rooms. Good service"

"Please note: The room was quiet and beds were particularly comfortable…Thankyou. I have sent a review this morning regarding the absence of a handbasin (or even a shelf for holding clothing before showering ) in the toilet/shower area. The review may not have reached you this morning, so if not - I spoke especially of the unsanitary situation of using the sink in the ‘kitchen’ area for washing hands following a toilet visit. This is a “clean area”- a place to make drinks, rinse/wash cutlery or crockery, - but is the same basin being used for cleaning teeth, spitting or washing hands after a toilet visit . Not good. I am shocked at this low standard and would not recommend your unit, nor return until a handbasin is provided in the toilet area. Health regulations would surely require that provision. Are they aware of this? Please improve your sanitation measures! Thankyou. Lorna Durrant. 13/8/25"

"An unpretentious and friendly haven. A very pleasant rest stop indeed!"

"Room was very homely & clean. Ample cutlery & crockery for 2. Nice smelling room too. Bed was good. Pillows ok. Never have an outstanding pillow no matter where i stay. I wasn't bothered by any highway traffic noise, even tho you are on the service road of the highway. Check in was easy & receptionist very helpful & cheerful. Overall a great little motel. Value for money. Will be on my go to when visiting the area again."

"The property was very nice but the only thing was the heating in the room. It was very hard to manage and it was not showing the correct temperature at all. You turned it off and on again and the temperature jumped 2 degrees "

"We had travelled over 5 hours for our stay here. The staff did a curtesy call just checking we were still doing a late check-in and we were travelling safely. As a mum with two daughters we felt safe and secure especially getting their later at night. We will stay again "
