The location was perfect. Within easy walking distance to most of Ballina. The accommodation was amazing. Views from the balcony was exceptional overlooking the river. Very quiet location.
Donna

The hotel site was wonderful; the room exceeded our expectations; it had everything we needed. The location was great overlooking the river. Sitting on the verandah at the end of the day watching the sunset was special.
Ngaire

Great location opposite the river and so close to the main street and quality restaurants. The balcony (even though it overlooked the back of shops) was quiet and an added bonus
Toni

The proximity to shops, cafes, bus interchange and the waterfront made it easy to get around without a vehicle. The indoor pool was great and the service provided by Rob was excellent, he was very understanding and accommodated our request.
