Ballina Byron Islander Resort and Conference Centre

8/10 Good
"The room was clean quiet and well maintained. The only unusual thing is the bathroom setup. The basin sink is outside the bathroom in the entry area to the room. It was ok but a little different. Staff were very friendly and the light breakfast was very good."
