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
The location was great and very quiet away from the main street. Also close to the excellent H&J Bistro at the Balranald club (400 metre walk). The owners/staff are lovely and were very welcoming and helpful. It was very hot that day but the Aircon worked well. The room was clean and comfortable and had all the amenities anyone would need. The shower was good and the bed was comfortable.
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.
Shamrock hotel is in a great location in the centre of town. The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. Fantastic that the hotel is pet friendly and accomodated our puppy. It would be great to see other hotels offer what the Shamrock does. Good value. Great having a restaurant open on Sunday night after a long drive.
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.
Bed was extremely comfortable, best I have slept in this year, Owner very up to date about local residents which was very helpful for my intended reasons for going to Balranald.
The hotel is excellently located and in walking distance of all facilities.
