Ballina Beach Nature Resort
Clean room and had what we needed. Pool amd waterpark area were great. Would have been good for info on booking to mention the ferry needed to access, but this was easy to do, just some extra time and $ each way.

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.
