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.
What an absolute delight to meet the new managers and be welcomed like old friends...After a month travelling through 3states and staying at several overpriced and overrated accommodations we can say in all honesty that the service at the Sturt would be hard to beat... good luck ladies and Ann and I wish you all things good at Balranald...Roby P and Ann
Spacious, clean room, chilled water ready in the fridge. The staff was very helpful. We were driving from Canberra and supposed to check in late. Although it was after hours, the lady at the reception stayed late to greet us with a smiley face. Next day, staff kindly guided us through the sightseeing places around Balranald.
We were agreeably surprised. Our stay was during a long road trip from Perth to Canberra and back, and we stayed at a number of motels in small towns. Some were forgettable. Balranald Club Motel was clean, comfortable and good value, and through the RSL next door offered meals and entertainment.
I have been staying at the Balranald on my way to and from Adelaide since the mid 1980s. It has always been a pleasure, due the staff, its owners and the facilities available.
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.
