Was a little disappointed with the all you can eat buffet. We dined at 6.45 and the food on offer was very minimal and not restocked.

The surrounding area was extremely spurious. We had issues overnight and when this was highlighted to the receptionist, they were very unhelpful. The only follow up question from the receptionist was, "did we have anything from the mini bar?" Nothing in reference to our concern.

This motel is old but the restaurant & reception staff were great. Rooms were clean & freshly painted, but bathroom facilities are an issue. I would call it a nice clean motel, but definitely not a resort.

Stayed at the Ballina Byron Islander Resort while in town for a wedding. Rooms were spacious & clean and had all the amenities we needed. Would stay here again but would recommend you have your own transport as you are a bit out of the centre of town. Staff were very friendly & helpful especially Trudy on the front desk.
