My partner & I live in Perth, Australia. We recently spent over a month traveling in NZ. The Ballinor was by far the best motel we stayed in during our trip. It was spotlessly clean, the room was modern & beautifully furnished with big comfy beds & all the comforts of home. It was the only motel we found had... more

Arrived late and very tired from Australia to be warmly greeted by David - lovely man! Wish we were staying more than one night . Found immaculately clean and cosy 1 bedroom motel for 5 of us. Excellent shower and confortable beds. No street noise. Will definitely recommend and will be back next time in Hamilton. Keep up the excellent... more

We stayed there for 2 nights in Aug 09 & wished we could have extended our stay! Lovely Inn, spotlessly clean, friendly service by David Walter, who I think owns the Inn. Reception had a fridge selling cheap drinks & snacks (unlike other accommodations where snacks are always overpriced). We booked a standard room but were given a free upgrade... more

Well, I found it at the Ballinor - very very clean with beautiful modern surroundings. The studio unit was compact but not cramped, and it was decorated... more

I stayed three nights over a long weekend with my husband, and would happily return. David Walter has to be one of, if not *the* most helpful motel operators I've ever encountered. My husband arrived in the morning, and found that David had arranged for our room to be ready a few hours earlier than the normal check-in time. When... more

We were greeted very warmly and shown to our room which was spotlessly clean and very inviting. It was very warm weather and we were glad of the cooling system. We did only stay one night on this occasion, though we'll certainly stay at this Inn again. more

My boyfriend and I were travelling across New Zealand. We stayed at Ballinor only one night, but we were pleasantly surprised what we got for a price. We arrived at a place before midnight, which was not a problem, and our room was waiting for us. We were upgraded to a larger room with a spa bath which I enjoyed... more
