Narimba Motel

This small motel was a really pleasant surprise. Spotlessly clean with everyrhing you might expect, with a few thoughtful extras. Real coffee and a plunger! Snacks! Pets welcome and a lovely small park at the end of the street to walk dogs with views of the pretty river and the little car ferry. I had a terrific night's sleep here and would recommend it as a stop over. For me it was halfway between Byron Bay and Sydney.

I found that the problem with a motel being “pet friendly” is that it wasn’t human friendly. This very small motel with an unattended Reception throughout my stay had several dogs with guests, two of them were large dogs. One dog was continually barking at my door. As far as building presentation, there seems to be minimal sound proofing. Also my screen door was completely broken and the flyscreen torn. The airconditioning didn’t seem to be functioning well, one large mirror became complely steamed up overnight. The room itself was tiny, the bed occupying the whole space. The bathroom had a ceiling to floor window which had a torn blind. There is barely room to sit on the toilet, my knees touching the opposite wall!!! Despite these detractions, there was some good presentation as can be seen in the arttached photo.
