Top hotels in West Ballina
Ballina Byron Islander Resort and Conference Centre
We were very comfortable in our accommodation, the food was very nice and prices good. The breakfast could be improved. For a small cost they could have real coffee, sachet instant is a poor offering. Fruit salad too, not uncut fruit. The staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient.

Ballina Beach Nature Resort
The resort was easy to get to via the ferry. The staff were all very friendly and our cabin was clean, but could do with upgrading the stove. The beach walk was a pleasant stroll away and the resort pool was amazing
