Room on ground level and accepted dogs - so great for us.
Value could have been better but we did travel in peak season.
Room was clean and modern.
Location was great and central to everything we needed for a short stop over.
Bowling club discount was a great bonus!
Lady let us check in an hour early, which was great given the wet weather.

Liked the quirkiness of the room and the cleanliness of the room. The room had been renovated and the air conditioning was great. The bed and linen were comfortable and check in was made really easy for after hours stays. There was a separate laundry area and kitchen/lounge area with commercial fridge for storing food items and cooking for those staying longer periods.
Located in Ballina, a 6-minute walk from South Ballina, Ballina Beach Nature Resort provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

I cannot believe how lucky I am to be have discovered this place. It is a little haven right next to the beach, the perfect balance of luxury and nature.
I arrived here after a long road trip and Justine the night manager was super helpful making sure my late check-in was smooth and efficient.
I loved it so much I wanted to book an extra night but unfortunately it was fully booked. I can't wait to go back there again and spend some more time when they have a vacancy

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 )
Absolutely outstanding. I am a clean and hygiene freak and can be very picky about cleanliness. The Cubana was exceptionally clean. Spotless. So clean I could believe I was the first guest to ever stay in the room. Facilities were top notch. Great location, better value than other motels I've stayed in Ballina. The decor was amazing, creating a very positive and happy vibe!
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.
Being pet friendly was a godsend as we were traveling with our two fur babies. Our room was very spacious and comfortable with plenty of room for us and our pups. The location is really convenient and easy to find and the lovely gentleman in the office could not have been more friendly and helpful.
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.
It's your quintessential pub/hotel accommodation. Fairly well located with a Woolworths across the road. Room was very reasonable for what I needed, bed was comfortable and there was enough in room amenities (fridge, kettle, sink, aircon/fan). Staff were friendly and approachable.
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!
Beautiful Motel in Ballina, Thank you for having pet friendly options. The rooms are large comfortable & modern. Loved the extra cookies. We really enjoyed our stay. The eco friendly bathroom toiletries are great too.
The 'glamping' experience was a fun departure from typical hotels. Be prepared, as food service here is extremely limited. The ferry service was excellent and saves much time getting to the camp.
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.
Very quirky and modern looking hotel room. It looked like it was newly renovated. Super clean and comfy area. Definitely would recommended anyone staying in Ballina to try this hotel.
awesome hotel circa1920 fully restored just beautiful.close to town ,pubs and beaches . Huge room with 4 poster bed, large tv , spa bath and great coffee facilities
