I stayed in Balranald on the way to Mungo National Park. Balranald's visitor information centre is excellent and was helpful regarding road conditions and travel time for my trip to Mungo NP. The road to Mungo NP Visitor Centre is mostly sealed with about 50 km of dirt/gravel. The unsealed road was mostly good but got worse inside the Park. It took me just under two hours to drive there.

A nice little town of approx. 1,000 people, situated on the picturesque Murrumbidgee River, 1.5hrs drive east of Mildura. Great, new Visitor Centre and cafe in the main street, with good coffee and scrambled eggs on sourdough toast for $16-17 :-) Good value Chinese food in the local Balranald District Ex-Services Memorial Club on the main street. Fabulous 'Southern Cross' museum with full-size replicas of the Southern Cross and Lady Southern Cross. The museum offers much more than planes, with items and implements and displays of local history. Entry is Adults $5, Families $12 - value for money and you can easily spend a few hours looking around. The Riverbend area, part of the River Loop (road) is very pretty, with stands of towering gums and the Murrumbidgee meandering slowly by. The town is also the gateway to Lake Mugo National Park and Yanga National Park.

Balranald is a very small but clean & well maintained town on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River. We ate at the Discovery Centre which we were able to walk to & served nice meals. A tour of Yanga Station just out of town is well worth the effort.

The male receptionist was rude and unhelpful.
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.

The Self-Contained Bungalow was very clean and contained all I needed. It has two bedrooms, although I only required one. It has a medium-size fridge (considerably bigger than a typical hotel room bar fridge). Small table and two chairs. Oven and stovetop. Crockery and cutlery. Pots and pans. Kettle and toaster. Television with free-to-air channels. Undercover parking right outside the Bungalow door. Outside table with two chairs.
The location is excellent. The room is located inside the hotel. It is quiet and clean. There are no negative effects. I am tired after a long trip. Dinner was delicious and there was a bar. The price is beautiful. We will be back again.

Adjacent to Balranald Service Club - great Asian restaurant in pub atmosphere. Lots of locals enjoying the Club amenities. All less than one minute from motel and other dining/cafe places.

Quiet old-fashioned motel off the highway (which matters in Balranald). Parking just outside the room. Friendly host. Near the river and a nice walk through the bush.
