- Deborah (10/5): Perfect for a quick stop over - Everything was wonderful. Being so close to the highway there is light and noise pollution so brung ear plugs and eye mask for a good night skeep. Nothing. The only thing I would mention is if you are a larger person you may find the space between the sink and toilet a little tight to squeeze through.
- Chloe (8/5): Perfect for a night on you way to somewhere - Clean and seems to be recently updated rooms. Very comfy mattress Noisy highway near room
- Darren (9/5): This is maybe my 4th or 5th stay at Almare and I always enjoy it. Awesome staff and very clean and tidy with everything - Large room with a very comfortable bed and everything we needed for our small stay with our Staffy. No pool. It’s been replaced by a BBQ and a really nice sheltered outdoor dining area which was inviting.
- Bell (6/5): - Bed comfortable, good shower Noisy heatpump outside window

- Grant (9/5): -
- Clare (8/5): Clean, Comfortable and Value for Money - Clean, comfortable and we got fresh milk for tea and coffee! This room was the smallest I've ever stayed in. Room 4a - I wonder if the 'a' means that they split one room into two?
- Sally (5/5): It met our needs as we had our dog and were there purely on the way to QLD. - they are very happy for you to bring your dog which is the reason we booked. Very small room

- Erica (9/5): Great stay, will recommend - The room was excellent for4 people. The room was scrupulously serviced every day. The bathroom was excellent. The available services(microwave, fridge, toaster, kettle, clothes rack) were great. The aircon worked great Towels did not need to be replaced every day, re-using would be fine.
Cleaning staff walked in on my daughter on the toilet in the morning, even though she sang out hello when she heard the door open! Shes not sure if they knocked before coming in.
- Angela (10/5): Friendly staff, clean, comfortable and value for money. - Very clean, had everything you could need in the room and great outdoor area. A pool may have been nice.

- Eva H. (10/5): - Das Zimmer war sauber und groß, alles war vorhanden. Das Personal war freundlich. Das Bett war sehr gut. Man konnte draußen sitzen. Lage etwas an der Straße, aber OK.
- Elisabeth (8/5): Great clean place to stay during our roadtrip - Its very clean and tidy, everyone got one car park right in front of the room, and also free milk upon arrival.
- steve (9/5): Ideal for us and dog friendly - Excellent old fashioned motel, perfect for us and our dog… third time here A rather small nuisance that it is on part of a long stretch of divided road, you have to drive around the block to access it from town
- Fiona (8/5): All necessary amenities in the room and very helpful staff. Bring an eye mask though. - Easy access Very bright fluro lights directly outside the rooms (even blockout curtains don’t stop significant light bleed when they are so bright right outside the windows)… would be really helpful if they can be turned off after say 10pm? The kids asked “why was it daytime outside” when we put them to bed after 9pm… otherwise a good eye mask necessary.

- Kylie (9/5): excellent - Always so grateful for good pet friendly motels. The brilliant light outside the room was very penetrating drspite tge curtains,

- Bateman (10/5): - Plenty of room. Car parking was not under cover for some rooms.
- Chris (9/5): - Good value, clean and friendly Nothing
- Mervyn John (8/5): Good clean place to stay and manager good to deal with. - Very clean - easy access. Bathroom 1 metre wide - a bit tight.
- Shane (7/5): Ballina respite - Great location, friendly staff and clean facilities. Great spot for a two night stay. The air con and fan were both loud when in use, and the fan was not sufficient when turned down. With bright external lights you couldn't simply open the blinds to get fresh air.
- james (10/5): - Really great clean and friendly accommodation
- Elizabeth (8/5): Convenient for a quick night's rest in between travel days. - Manager was very helpful and good communication The windows didn't seem secure but managed to find some pin locks to lock them in place better.
- Grant (6/5): Interesting, no dog, I would never stay. Hard as rock pillows, dogbox room. - Decided against breakfast, ultra limited menu. Liked the magic renovation of the dogbox motel rooms, given in which you couldn't swing a cat. Size of room. Given last room at end of Motel, streetsweeper both sides early hours, seemingly lots of happy friend 'campers'.
- Therese (3/5): The room was comfortable, but the smell was hard to ignore. - There was a bad smell in the room. I asked for another room and the man said they all smelt the same, but if I wanted to pay extra, I could have a family room. I stayed in the room and bought a scented candle and found some gardenias. That helped.
