Top Lighthouse Beach Hotel Reviews

Reflections Ballina - Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay. Cabin had everything we needed. Dog beach just across the road was very handy and location was perfect, everything in walking distance. Staff were lovely and allowed us to check-in early. A big bonus. Will definitely stay again in the future."

Ballina Homestead Motel

8/10 Good

"Motel was a perfect place for a stopover on a road trip. Clean and comfortable. Staff were really friendly. A great option for something simple and cheap."

Ballina Palms Boutique Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We were so surprised by this lovely boutique motel. Attention and care has been placed on the rooms to make them an enjoyable place to be. The decor was lovely. The room was bright and had a proper little kitchen & dining table. All the staff we met were really friendly. We would just suggest taking Earplugs if you're noise sensitive due to nearby traffic noise. We highly recommend this motel and if we pass through Ballina again we'd definitely go back."

Riverside Apartments & Hotel Ballina

10/10 Excellent

"Returning guest, excellent as always"

Richmond Motor Inn

River Street Motel

"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

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."
