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.

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

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!

Very close to Beautiful beach
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 )
I requested a high floor and a great view to the Richmond River and Ramada delivered it all. The suite is fully equipped to make your stay feel like home, right down to the washing machine, dryer or clothes airer. Kitchen is fully equipped with microwave, utensils and even a coffee machine. Sofa bed in the main lounge area and a dining area with a big outdoor balcony area. All that you need to bring is your clothes and a few supplies if you prefer not to eat out all the time. I would definitely book here again!
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.
Hotel was really comfortable was a welcome break from travelling, very comfortable and clean, young lady in reception was gorgeous and very welcoming and helpful from the minute I walked thru the door, will definetly be back thanks Adrian
room was very clean with extra towels and instant hot chocolate in a packet , the set up of the hotel reminds me of balinese cottage.. exotic and it has a warm welcome nature to it..beautiful. we will certainly come back 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 room was a good size and clean, and the bed was comfortable Parking is directly outside the room like older style motels making it easy to unpack and pack the car. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
I booked for three nights and was placed in the noisiest room next to the exit door. The hotel rule was to keep the door shut and this meant I suffered for hous having to hear the door constantly bang shut.
Very nice and having the hotel was a great advantage.
Not familiar with the area it was great to have the comfort of the fire to warm the atmosphere up.Will be back again in the near future.
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.
