We stayed at this motel for a few days while visiting family, we were amazed at how huge the rooms were and felt that it was quite a waste of space. All over the rooms were clean and comfortable, there was a wedding taking place on the weekend we were there and we were apprehensive about noise, but we were... More

My wife and I booked a room late on Saturday 5th May in an attempt to meet up with my elderly parents at Raymond Terrace on Sunday 6th May. A medical emergency occurred within the family overnight on Sat 5th preventing our trip. We called the reservation centre during advertised hours - it was closed - and advised the motel... More

I was looking for a hotel on the Pacific Highway for an overnight stop on the way to Sydney and was very pleasantly surprised by the Sir Francis Drake inn. My room was HUGE with space to spare. The bed was very comfortable, the room clean and well appointed, the property nicely maintained and the desk staff was friendly. I... More

We stayed here on our way from Melbourne to Ballina. Don't think Raymond Terrace is on anyone's radar any more but it is a good half way point for us. This motel has seen better days and is perhaps a bit too pricey for what is offered but it is a nice place, with huge rooms, each looking out into... More

Having got totally lost we came across this motel and booked in for the night. The room was HUGE, it had both a front and back door. We were round the back so not a sound from the road. The back door parking area overlooked horse paddocks the front door overlooked lovely gardens. There were a few scuffed tiles in... More

We had rooms #12, 13, & 14 and found them all spotless,large and with everything we needed, (although the decor was, a little dated, everything worked well). Enjoyed a beautiful dinner in the restaurant, which was absolutely delicious. Service was... More

We stayed for one night. The room was spacious but had no microwave. The toilet had not been cleaned, as well as the shower. There was mould all down one panel of the shower door, and scattered throughout the tiles. The tiles were not coated with slip proof liquid - once wet the tiles were extremely slippery and dangerous. They... More

We had about the biggest motel room I have ever stayed in. My husband had stayed before many years ago when it was a lot newer for a conference. It was very clean but dated. Plasma and foxtel Would stay again. Plenty of outside room and central garden. Cleaning staff were very helpful and polite when I needed a bandaid.
