We love the shopping, dolphins in the river and ocean, river, and ocean views, and whales spotting from the lookout and river when in season.
We dined at Cherry St Sporties where the meals and cocktails were great value and delicious.
We also ate at Taco Bell.

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!
Exceptionally clean and the biggest sized apartment we have ever stayed! So amazing is the space in this 3 bedroom apartment we were so happy with our stay! Full size fridge and kitchen and beautiful touches to the bathrooms.
Perfectly sized for families right opposite the river so views were so relaxing and walking distance to main cafe strip.
Lovely gentleman at reception, and best thai restaurant attached to the entrance from hotel! Ben and Jerry’s ice cream and coffee next door, and a seafood restaurant less than 50 m away.
All rooms were suitable for our families in apartment 6.Apartment 8 was most suitable for my sister and had plenty room for her family.The view is amazing watching the sunset and tides coming in the bay. The hotel across the pub is great my family made friends with the locals and a beautiful outdoor area close to swimming.
Due to the Lismore floods we were unable to stay with immediate family as they were affected by the floods.Staying in Ballina was more suitable for us as all.
Thank you Kate and Chris.
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
The staff that greeted me on arrival were amazing and really accommodating as I was travelling alone with a toddler. My daughter hates staying at hotels and being away from home but she loved it here. All the rooms are really close to accessing the pool, free parking is a massive bonus. Once again the lovely woman at the front were amazing and definitely make me want to go back because of the delightful hospitality.
Our hosts Bree & Greg were friendly, nothing was a bother for them. They even personally drove our daughter and son in law one afternoon to the Ballina airport as we had a commitment somewhere else at the time of their flight.Did not charge them.
Rooms very clean and comfy beds. Spacious rooms. Great location. Will for sure stay here again.
I have stayed at the hotel four or five times now and found the food, position, plus the accommodation very good plus I love Guinness,,,, I will in time be moving to Ballina from the Riverina of NSW ...and will be a nightly vist or two for the meals which I found very good.....
My door was jammed shut I called the hotel the following day to have it fixed and it wasn’t
There were cigarette butts in the window tracks
And the noise after the bar had shut was loud and had to wait for the staff to leave so I could go to sleep.
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.
Excellent location, friendly staff. Cabins are beautiful. I appreciated the flexibility of the venue providing us with an extra spot to park our other vehicle. Will book here again if I ever find myself near Ballina again!
Stayed here for three nights. It’s a nicely restored hotel about 5-10 mins walk from the centre. Nice room, great breakfast and super friendly staff. There is a small pool which we had to ourselves each time we used.
The motel is on River Street, close to everything. It is quiet, very clean, and the staff is so kind. This is the best motel in Ballina. I love it and will stay again once I stop at Ballina.
It felt very comfortable the lights were on when i arrived and the staff were wonderful and helpful it plus for me lovely motel close to main street i wished i couldve stayed longer
The hotel is centrally located. It is within easy walking distance from good places to eat. It is off the main street but in a quieter area. Parking is adequate.
