Motor inns in Australia, particularly in the Ballina, Byron Bay, Lismore, Tweed Heads region of Northern New South Wales, and the Gold Coast hinterland, offer affordable and convenient accommodation for travellers.
Usually single-story establishments, lodgings have external entry and off-street parking directly outside each unit, ensuring ease of access. Rooms and suites typically come with kitchen facilities and separate bathrooms, giving guests the option for self-catering and greater privacy.
Many motor inns also feature a licensed restaurant and bar, available for guests and the general public, creating a welcoming space for dining and socializing. Some motor-inns provide meeting facilities, catering to both business and leisure travellers.
With competitive pricing, motor inns are ideal for overnight and short stays, offering a practical and comfortable option for road-trippers seeking convenience and value.
