Recommend you pass by, try a different town. Arrived after 18.00 to find all reception offices closed in almost all hotels. only telephone and internet contact . 30 minutes standing in the rain at the last hotel trying to get the key that was in a lockbox. Ended up in a kitchen / passageway with a bed no locks on the doors.

From our hotel it was easy walking distance to a supermarket and shops and it was all flat - no hills. The RSL was a slightly longer walk but very pleasant on the board walk. The Ramada's restaurant was still undergoing restoration after the floods so we look forward to trying it on our next visit.

Homeless at the front door and shopping trolleys full of soaked belongings.
A parade of bogans loitering around the hotel street and lawns.
A perfect view of a river system dotted with pelicans and dolphins, seemingly trained to appear as the guest arrives.
A very very busy town centre with a Main Street way past its use by date, impatient drivers rivalling the hectic streets of Rome or Beijing, trying to avoid the many elderly on their motorised scooters.
A WIDE variety of every food and drink you could search for with an incredibly high standard of cleanliness at each cafe and bakery and eatery.
Several thrift shops, boutiques and clothing stores catering for most if not all budgets and tastes.
Unsafe for cycling in the sense that many European cities opt for with vehicle of choice mainly being oversized gas guzzling 4WD s.
A tapestry of humans from many walks, a bouquet of widely sourced characters to fill River Street and a pace of somewhat crazed rush just prior to Christmas.
The entire location can be enveloped in mist, a moment later sunshine followed by an afternoon storm, to a traveller, the most perfect combination of sea and river breezes with the warmth of a temperate day and no humidity.
Casting aside or happy to accept the redneck hicks and drugged out locals that represent a minor percentage of those encounter, the town thrives on a balance of visiting Australian holiday makers and a sprinkling of mainly European and South American tourists. No swarms of Asians like Pitt Street mall or tribes of Ethiopians drifting along Todd Mall.
Seemly untouched by the suffocating First Nation retoric, there is an acceptable streamlined understanding of accepting all as they come.

Ballina is one of our favourite short stay locations-2 hours from home. Great town with amenities. Beaches, the river stretching along the main street, whales and dolphins can be viewed from cliffs just outside town, friendly people and great golf course with excellent Asian restaurant.
We have also holidayed here in the past-highly recommended!

Very close to Beautiful beach
Unfortunately we couldn’t swim To many Stringers
From Blue Bottles ect & Super windy 🌬️ weather
Comfortable Cabin
But I thought I was Booked into a lamping Room (Tent )
Great place to stay for a holiday in Ballina. Love the vibe, really cool. The best part about staying here is the amazing staff though. The customer service is the best I've encountered and I've stayed all over the world. Locals who gave me fantastic advice about the area. Really made a difference to a bit of a stressful trip.
The rooms are large, facilities great, one of the few places with more than 2 beds to a room which is really tough to find. Great location, highly recommend
just stopped by on a road trip from Canberra to Brisbane, for a cheap, last minute booking this Motel was far beyond our expectations. the room was cleaner and of higher quality than some Hotels in CBDs we’ve stayed in, the staff were lovely, the room and bed were super comfortable and a 10 minute walk into the pub for dinner 🙌🏼 Cannot recommend enough
Loved the hotel. Was a last minute booking from a terrible experience at another hotel. Was night and day. Good parking facilities. Checkin staff were superb. The pool was a great way to relax. Room was nice and cool. Though I would only add the air conditioning in the room could have been doing with an upgrade or a looking it. Was a bit weak.
Very comfortable bed and pillows. A/C worked well, the biscuits were a nice touch that a lot of other motels have stopped doing. The pool looked very inviting, if we were staying longer that would have been a place to be on a hot afternoon. The hairdryer was apparently great according to my wife.
The location beside the River was beautiful and the mix of condos and hotel unique. Shopping adjacent to hotel was handy. I was under the impression that each “apartment” contained a small kitchen but the toaster, microwave, and kettle survived. The huge deck was great!!
Central location for access to bars, restaurants and supermarkets. Minimal noise (just rubbish removal and beyond the facility to manage). Hotel bistro was good value and convenient after our late check in. House keeping were very obliging and friendly.
Such a fabulous hotel, beautifully renovated, but keeping all the wonderful old features. We loved everything about it. Breakfast was delicious - a continental breakfast, but plenty of choice and delicious coffee. We thoroughly recommend this hotel.
Hotel was really comfortable was a welcome break from travelling, very comfortable and clean, young lady in reception was gorgeous and very welcoming and helpful from the minute I walked thru the door, will definetly be back thanks Adrian
We booked three cabins and were able to get two next to each other. The beds were super comfortable and the bathroom/kitchen were neat and tidy. Much more spacious than we imagined and great for a two night stay - could've stayed a week!
Ballina Beach Resort has a special place in our memories as this is where we stayed on our first trip together back in 2004. The location right on the beach is perfect and the facilities at the resort are perfect for a relaxing holiday.
Last minute check in, so I didnt arrange the beakfast or anything, but great value, clean, comfy rooms, very friendly staff and as a bonus they are pet friendly. I love this place and will stay anytime I am up north.
Hotel was a good location close to restaurants and shops. Property offers dog friendly rooms on the ground floor. There is also an on-site cafe which offers breakfast and lunch.
Fabulous stay! We will be back, the perfect destination and holiday spot for children.
Staff so lovely and the park very welcoming of children.
Thank you for a great stay.
The best thing about the Hotel was the staff. They couldn't have been more obliging, both in the restaurant, and the hotel. The room staff were exceptional.
