Top Richmond River Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

Reflections Ballina - Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"The reason for only 4 stars is because of a couple of avoidable hazards. The wheels on the bed were sticking out and painful when toes got stubbed on them a few times. Also hit the top of the head on the pointed corner of the bathroom shelf which was just above the bin which one had to bend down to use."

River Street Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Really clean room with comfortable beds. Exactly what we needed when passing through town. Easy to follow instructions for after hours check in, and staff really responsive to contact."

Ramada Hotel and Suites Ballina Byron

8/10 Good

"All was perfect On a bien profité"

Ballina Byron Islander Resort and Conference Centre

10/10 Excellent

"This motel is great value for money. Highly recommended"

Ballina Beach Nature Resort

8/10 Good

"Such a soft comfy bed. I stayed in a glamping tent. Was hot so I. Glad there was AC. Only thing I’d like to see perhaps is a little mirror and a shelf to put clothes etc on. Yes I understand that it’s a ‘swag’ but if you have a bed and fridge and sink etc may sweep make it a bit more glampy and pop a mirror and somewhere to put clothes instead of on the floor. Good location. Short drive to beach, probably can walk it, nice little water park too. Clean and tidy facilities. Bit pricey for the glamping tent though. If staying for a while and want secure tent, bring a little padlock. They have one to use too. Overall good stay and would visit again."

The Cubana Ballina

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. easy access to shops and restaurants. Close proximity made travel easy. Parking was a bit tight. free spaces, but a narrow turn to get in and out."
