Top Lighthouse Beach Hotel Reviews

Ballina Byron Islander Resort and Conference Centre

8/10 Good

"The room was quite spacious and the bed was super comfortable. I think they should supply a couple of wine glasses in the room. The included continental breakfast was very good."

Discovery Parks - Ballina

8/10 Good

"We were in the superior 2 bedroom.which was away from the usual 2 bedroom units. Its a dated one next to caravan parking spots ,which probably indicates the pricing. Offpeak shouldnt be an issue but during peak time , some might find it noisy and busy all the time. We stayed fr 3 nights and as things were as d"

"We were so surprised by this lovely boutique motel. Attention and care has been placed on the rooms to make them an enjoyable place to be. The decor was lovely. The room was bright and had a proper little kitchen & dining table. All the staff we met were really friendly.
