Ballina Beach Nature Resort
Good location, fantastic amenities, the pool and water park are too notch, the beach and national park are stunning. The staff were friendly and hospitable. The glamping tents are a fantastic thing. I will be back, hopefully for longer next time.

Elements of Byron
Do not book the Studio room! Upgrade to the Villa or don’t stay here. The Studio rooms are barely bigger than a prison cell and are nowhere near 5 star hotel quality. The property is neat and the staff are so nice. Just don’t book the Studio rooms.
