We recently held our daughters wedding reception at the Ballina Beach Resort. A large number of guests stayed at the resort - everyone enjoyed the resort and its facilities. The wedding reception was brilliant, not one guest had a bad thing to say about the venue, the food or the staff. The staff at the resort left no stone unturned... More

Well, this was our second, two night stay here and it was as good as the first! We got a deal on a King Spa room and the whole complex is just a stroll from the beach and a short walk to the breakwater and river mouth. The rooms are well appointed, the staff are very friendly and helpful and... More

Selecting a beach motel is always a challenge. The photos on websites don't always convey the real proximity to the beach and certainly can gloss over drawbacks. We were very pleased with our choice - a King room which was generous in size, comfortable bed and close to all the amenities. This is more a motel than a resort, but... More

Good location near Lighthouse beach and easy drive to Ballina central or walk along the waterfront track. Good size room with balcony overlooking pool. Booked on a special price for $75.00 per night, excellent value Theft and damage to car/trailer. Utility box stolen from front of camper trailer. Wheel caps stolen from car and keyed scratching of front bumper bar.... More

Had a pleasant stay here but if not for the location probably wouldn't have been so happy. Great pub with reasonably priced, amazing food close by (Shaws Bay) was a highlight. Spa in room full of previous guests hairs and general cleanliness obviously not a high priority. Very dated and in need of a big make over. Would I stay... More

My partner and I were tossing up between this place and the Ballina Manor for a romantic getaway over New Year's, and ended up going here because of its 'resort' status. In reality, though, it's little more than a motel. A decent motel, but a motel nonetheless. The pool is smallish and didn't smell all that great, the tennis court... More

Ballina Beach Resort is a lovely hotel set in some of the most beautiful gardens. The hotel has a large tennis court and grass area, a small spa (including a sauna and a couple of gym machines) and a reasonable pool area. I'm not sure where the 4-star rating comes from as the rooms although large and spacious within the... More

Male receptionist had a extremely poor attitude face to face and was very rude disrespectful and intimidating towards my mother-in-law to be. Took all of 10 minutes for us to walk in, be disgusted then leave making our selection of wedding venue so much easier. I wouldn't trust these people with our event after this experience. The rest of the... More

Stayed two nights at the Ballina Beach Resort. Positives - good sized room, nice balcony (not private) great location, close to beach, nice gardens and surrounds, very quiet and private, excellent breakfast menu - recommend the cooked breakfast. Some negatives - no shampoo/conditioner in room, squeeze bottle soap and hand soap, our room was a connecting room and you could... More
