10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, comfortable bed. Lovely staff."

Grandview Apartments Ballina

"The property is walking distance to Shelly beach. Great overall spot to stay. Since the place does have a kitchen the supermarkets does require a drive back into Ballina city center which is about 5-10mins away."

Riverside Apartments & Hotel Ballina

8/10 Good

"If you stay on the side away from the river, you will be waken up by dump trucks at 6 am. They need a plumber and a toilet cleaner. Otherwise a top spot."

The Cubana Ballina

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, modern amenities"

Ballina Homestead Motel

8/10 Good

"For us, traveling on a long electric vehicle road trip, the availability of onsite, undercover charging was a big advantage. Very comfortable bed. Comfortable settee was good to enjoy for our two night stay. Good dining options nearby — for example, a sunset dinner at the Wharf Bay and Restaurant, a pleasant stroll away beside the Richmond River."

Ballina Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Clean convenient location. Pool was closed fire renovation but spa was good."

River Street Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and comfortable room. A little bit of mould in the bathroom but that is probably difficult to keep under control."
