Very friendly staff; was like a throw back to a 1950's motel and that is not a bad thing.
Easy access from Highway - had a pool that we didn't use, but if we were with children, we probably would have.

Staff was friendly, facilities were fine. Coffee shop and information centre were close by.
Balranald Club Motel is a 4-star property located in Balranald. The motel has both free WiFi and free private parking. At the motel, every room is equipped with a desk.
The male receptionist was rude and unhelpful. When presented with a dirty tissue left in the room he said "it is what it is". The room was not the Deluxe King Suite that we booked for. The room was infested with cockroaches and we killed 6. Obviously they knew about the problem because there was a tin of cockroach spray sitting on the table. There was no bedside lights for reading in bed. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Best thing was location and parking.
Best thing was location and parking. Not so good things; motel rating should be 2 stars not 4 the rooms need renovating. The bathroom was old needing total renovation. Chinese restaurant in the RSL had ordinary food.

The frog sculptures are innovative.
The frog sculptures are innovative. The Discovery Centre is very good and the food at the cafe there was tasty, well presented and competitively priced. The Swing Bridge and associated walk was very handy and close by. Yanga Homestead and Woolshed are definitely worth visiting. The Bird Walk and Wetlands Walk was worth visiting. We would recommend the meals at the Services Club too.

Great place to break our drive from SA to ACT.
Great place to break our drive from SA to ACT. They were fantastic at accommodating a late arrival and very early departure. All communication was friendly and helpful.
It was a chilly night, and an additional spare blanket would have been great as we were a party of three.
Will definitely stay here again when we are breaking the drive across.

Like many small towns there is much of interest, and interesting history, once you start looking, eg. by going to the Discovery Centre. There seems to be considerable local pride in the town and every one we met was very friendly and helpful. We have eaten at the club a number of times and the current menu options are excellent. On our most recent stay our evening meal was kebabs from Outback Kebabz, which were excellent. The Discovery Centre cafe does great coffee and an excellent place for breakfast or lunch (big thumbs up to the egg and bacon rolls).

Balranald is a great country town with good facilities and plenty of interesting things to do. Make sure to visit the excellent Visitors Centre with probably the best Bathroom facilities available on this route across the Hay Plain.
Balranald is a small town on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River. We stayed here as a base to travel daily the 150 KMs up to Mungo National Park. Sturt Motel was well patronised over our 4 night stay and is centrally located in Balranald town centre, an easy walk to all shops and eateries. The Motel is typical 1970's style single level motel units. Our unit was clean, with a queen sized bed, ample bathroom, good TV and internet. The room was suitable for our needs and we enjoyed our stay
Dodging the bad weather I entered up in Balranald and booked the Sturt Motel on the spur of the moment.
The room was very well equipped for the price I paid, spotlessly clean and the new Managers obviously know a thing or two about providing extras such as specialty teas and bottled water. Deb and Jo are lovely ladies with a wealth of hospitality experience and it was great to chat.
Bed was very comfortable, we had a good nights sleep. There was Plenty of space in the Deluxe King room. The kitchen was sufficiently stocked with cutlery + crockery etc for 2 people. The tea and coffee making facilities were also adequate.
I Can also recommend the conveniently located next door venue - the Balranald Ex-Service Club where we had a very good Chinese meal for dinner.
We were so grateful to secure the last room in town in school holidays. It was a place to shower and sleep after a long drive. Everything was clean and had all we required for an overnight stay. The sheets were crisp and clean & the bed comfortable. The meal at the Shamrock hotel was absolutely delicious, I recommend the lamb shanks.
Location was terrific. Right next to the RSL club and take away shops. Good to have parking under shade as Balranald can get very hot. Nice to have a table and chairs outside room. Most rooms have parking out front of room.
We love this place always stay here when passing through Balranald. The rooms are always super clean and the staff are really friendly it's great value for the very reasonable price.
Hotel is on the main road. There're microwave, toaster, electric kettle, refrigerator, tv and iron in a room. Parking is in front of the room. 2-3 persons can stay in a room.
My wife and I believe there is a better availability of meals in Balranald compared with Hay - the only two obvious places to stop on our way between Sydney and Adelaide.
The hotel is excellently located and in walking distance of all facilities.
The room was basic but comfortable.
We had very friendly service on check in and check out.
The perfect place to break our trip. Close to well maintained playground to stretch canine and human legs. Easy to book and stay, Balranald seems a quiet little town.
Quiet old-fashioned motel off the highway (which matters in Balranald). Parking just outside the room. Friendly host. Near the river and a nice walk through the bush.
Convenient location on the outskirts of Balranald. They were able to allow access for a high vehicle via a side entrance.
Rooms were clean and comfortable.
