The Balinese

My wife and I had a seven day stay here, and it was just perfect - we had a charming room, decorated in Balinese style, with a balcony. It was very quiet, yet central. We had access to the kitchen and laundry at all hours. Being close to the Esplanade, Reef Street Plaza, Central Station and main bus route along Lake Street, we were easily able to catch a ferry to Fitzroy Island for the day, visit the Butterfly Sanctuary at Kuranda, explore the Botanic Gardens and Mount Whitfield walking tracks, and visit the superb beaches at Palm Cove and Trinity Beach. This motel is only rated at 2 stars as it does not have a restaurant, but deserves higher. Sally was generous and helpful to us at all times. It was very good value, and we will be back!

We had the most wonderful staff member, we dealt with her the whole time. She allowed us to swap from our booked queen bed to two singles and then let us drop our luggage off very early and come back later to check in. The room was clean, facilities adequate. We left before the breakfast was open so can’t comment on it. Used a jetstar voucher for $25 off so was a cheap room for the night.

Fantastic motel, rooms very clean, breakfast was nice. Aircon and fan in the room, Staff super friendly too. I'd happily book here again. The balinese is super close to the town centre, which has all the attractions that you are looking for. The only thing I would like to see is the additions of a safe in the bedroom.
