Hotels near Ballina Byron Gateway Airport - BNK, Ballina

Ballina is a large town with a holiday feel and beaches very close by. The Main Street contains many cafes and restaurants and can be busy with traffic. An upmarket restaurant at the RSL served a great menu with a focus on seafood, beautifully cooked. There are many outdoor play and walking areas within the town.

Very nice town but most things closed by 8.30pm, tried to get a meal at this time on Saturday night and left hungry, all the kitchens were closed. Allow at least 30 minutes for a taxi or uber to arrive, there are not many locally. Especially allow lots of extra time if you are travelling to the airport and check-in online as they don't accept late arrivals. If you have Vodafone mobile service you will have no reception :( and cant order an Uber.

Very quiet place. We had trouble finding somewhere to eat as a family and later in the evening. Beaches weren't all patrolled - but it is just start of the season so that is understandable as well. We saw dolphins swimming.

Many tourist trao andI was scam 3 times for 4 nights and 5 days stay in Ballina. HARD to book Uber. Book 46 minutes ahead tine. For short distance ride use Taxi. NO DiDi available. Be weary to talk tobstrangers, particular LONG term guest of Caravan Park. Do NOT talk to Aborigines @ bus STOP who will scam tourists or visitors. Do NOT give credit card details to SMALLER motel or accomodation business

Perfect location and short walking distance from central Lennox restaurants, boutiques and Beach! Beautifully designed, thoughtfully decorated house. Had all the amenities you could wish for! Extremely comfortable beds and lovely minimal bathrooms! We ate out a lot and would recommend Lex Thai with its yummy delicious food and great service, the iced cream pallor was a hit our boys and coffee shops were varied and very good! The local food store is very expensive and not that well stocked, but a short drive to Woolies and a deli located in the same spot sorted us out perfectly. We loved the beach, which is 10min walk. Also located at the beach is the Kiosk and well worth a visit! We had a beautiful week away with my mum from the UK, she loved it as much as we did thank you!! We will be back!

A lovely little dog-friendly location, with a massive dog off leash area and close to the dog beach en route to the pretty little riverside town of Ballina. Lots of lovely walks around Shaw’s Bay and a short drive to other interesting locations to the north and south or in the hinterland.
