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.
