Stayed for 3 nights in a family room. Clean, comfortable and conveniently located accommodation base to explore the Ballina region. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was large, modern and clean. The caravan out the front serving barrista coffee and bacon and egg rolls was a welcome bonus - definitely recommend!

It is a great location, but it is not as modern as advertised. There is no minibar or lounge and table in the double standard room. You would be better off in the queen for a cheaper price.
