The room was super clean which was very impressive. Great fluffy towels. Garden & pool area were lovely and we wish we had more time to be able to use the facilities. Reception & cleaning staff friendly and informative. The location was great - easy access to coastal walking tracks, whale watching and excellent Shelly Beach cafe. Free parking with plenty of spaces. Would recommend Ballina Beach Resort to family & friends.

The bar & restaurant were no longer functioning due to staffing issues which was a shame. Reception staff indicated they're looking to rectify that in the coming future which would be a positive for the Resort. Small issue with ants on the ceiling in the bathroom which didn't cause us any issues.

First room allocated was large and airy with good fittings except for the lighting. Second room was very different in style and well fitted out with good lighting - very good info about site offered at check in and lighting problem handled well

Ist room allocated had poor lighting -- only 1 lamp out of a mere 3 was working - it could not be fixed on the day so was offered a swap to completely different room which was also much better car parking

We loved the decor of the rooms. The beds were so comfortable. The pool area was absolutely beautiful! The day beds were great. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed.

It was an absolute shame that the beautiful front cafe isn't being used. Being a little further out of town, it would have Been great to grab breakfast or light lunches, eg..a toasted sandwich or hot dogs, hot chips ect. Also to be able to grab a beer in the late avo and sit in the area would have been great. It's stunning and completely wasted. It's a money making dream.

I genuinely enjoyed absolutely everything about this motel - from the customer service at check in (the guy who served me was so welcoming, we even had a bit of banter about the facilities as I asked a few unexpected questions), the process at check in (so quick and easy), the cleanliness of the room was beyond exceptional, the amenities in the room itself (we stayed in the King Spa Suite), the bed was a 10/10 (so comfortable, soft yet firm, pillows to match or softer ones available), we had access to our own private outdoor patio area, so it was nice to step out for some fresh air yet have some privacy as well. Even though I didn't get to use the spa trust me when I say this won't be my last & only stay, I will be back!

One thing I will mention, even though we only stayed the night, I wouldn't have minded possible access to some sort of a self-contained kitchen, as big as the suite was, a little 2 burner stove would've suited the suite perfectly. Specifically if I wanted an extended stay but in saying that, there was a restaurant about 200 metres away, a cafe about 1km away & a short drive to other restaurants or fast food drive-thrus in town. This does not hinder the overall experience at all, we were very happy travellers.

we had a spa king room which is ideal for a couple. bit more expensive but more space as they were happy for us to keep our electric bikes in the room. well established gardens, quite private, we used the tennis court and pool.

only criticism for us was the pillows too thick. great for sitting up to read but not for sleeping

I loved the fact that this resort was so close to the beach, just a short walk but not impacted by the noise of the surf. I loved the wonderful linens and the brilliant bed. I loved the spa bath. The room 240 was extremely spacious and well priced.

The pool looks a little tired and needs a bit of a fix up, as does the flooring around the pool.

Great location close to the beach and only a short drive to the centre of town. Had all the facilities that we needed for a one night stop over. Appreciated the sauna, spa and swimming pool. One of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. Staff were all super friendly and helpful!

Everything was perfect, clean and had everything provided.

The room was huge, clean and comfortable. The reception staff was absolutely lovely and very helpful. The location was great, right near the beach. I loved that there was no single use soap/shampoo/conditioner but instead had dispensers (much better for the environment). The air-conditioner was great.

Everything was great, but if I had to really nit pick I would have liked a couple of extra towels. And the water pressure in the shower wasn't the greatest.

The resort is in an excellent location & only a short walk to the beautiful beaches & lighthouse. It is a 5 minute drive to the main shopping areas in Ballina or Lennox Head. Facilities are clean with well kept gardens & pool. The room decor is similar to most country style accommodation and suited my needs with a desk, tv, comfy bed, bar fridge and microwave plus utensils as required. I will definitely stay here again.

The restaurant was closed however the staff advised us of this on arrival so we could make alternative arrangements for breakfast and dinner.

Location is perfect. Close enough to everything you need for a great stay. Far enough from the heavily populated area to make it relaxing!!

Tiny picky comment about the pool. It’s in rather poor shape. Rust and cracks visible and needs a little upgrade. But the water was cool and there are plenty of beds and loungers.
