We had a suite which was large and faced the pool area. Bed was comfortable and the living room and kitchen were nice to have to take care of our toddler.
The location was the main draw. Walk to restaurants, nearby beaches, and an easy drive to explore the hinterland (which is beautiful) or go to Byron Bay.

I loved the retro colour vibe that made every room different. Pick a colour door and your room is bound to match! Plenty of room to relax, and I really loved the artwork.

Recommend you pass by, try a different town. Arrived after 18.00 to find all reception offices closed in almost all hotels. only telephone and internet contact . 30 minutes standing in the rain at the last hotel trying to get the key that was in a lockbox. Ended up in a kitchen / passageway with a bed no locks on the doors.

From our hotel it was easy walking distance to a supermarket and shops and it was all flat - no hills. The RSL was a slightly longer walk but very pleasant on the board walk. The Ramada's restaurant was still undergoing restoration after the floods so we look forward to trying it on our next visit.

Homeless at the front door and shopping trolleys full of soaked belongings.
A parade of bogans loitering around the hotel street and lawns.
A perfect view of a river system dotted with pelicans and dolphins, seemingly trained to appear as the guest arrives.
A very very busy town centre with a Main Street way past its use by date, impatient drivers rivalling the hectic streets of Rome or Beijing, trying to avoid the many elderly on their motorised scooters.
A WIDE variety of every food and drink you could search for with an incredibly high standard of cleanliness at each cafe and bakery and eatery.
Several thrift shops, boutiques and clothing stores catering for most if not all budgets and tastes.
Unsafe for cycling in the sense that many European cities opt for with vehicle of choice mainly being oversized gas guzzling 4WD s.
A tapestry of humans from many walks, a bouquet of widely sourced characters to fill River Street and a pace of somewhat crazed rush just prior to Christmas.
The entire location can be enveloped in mist, a moment later sunshine followed by an afternoon storm, to a traveller, the most perfect combination of sea and river breezes with the warmth of a temperate day and no humidity.
Casting aside or happy to accept the redneck hicks and drugged out locals that represent a minor percentage of those encounter, the town thrives on a balance of visiting Australian holiday makers and a sprinkling of mainly European and South American tourists. No swarms of Asians like Pitt Street mall or tribes of Ethiopians drifting along Todd Mall.
Seemly untouched by the suffocating First Nation retoric, there is an acceptable streamlined understanding of accepting all as they come.

Ballina is one of our favourite short stay locations-2 hours from home. Great town with amenities. Beaches, the river stretching along the main street, whales and dolphins can be viewed from cliffs just outside town, friendly people and great golf course with excellent Asian restaurant.
We have also holidayed here in the past-highly recommended!

But I thought I was Booked into a lamping Room (Tent )
Ballina Manor was so delightful! Gersch and Hannah were such welcoming hosts, and their hotel felt like such a lovely and special place to stay. The room design was very elegant with linen sheets, thick woolly carpet that my feet sank into, the most beautiful old-fashioned bedframe and super comfortable mattress. I slept so well, it was such a peaceful place to wake up. The bathroom had lovely soap and shampoo, there was muesli for breakfast, which I didn't expect. I can't speak highly enough, it was just such a lovely experience.
Great place to stay for a holiday in Ballina. Love the vibe, really cool. The best part about staying here is the amazing staff though. The customer service is the best I've encountered and I've stayed all over the world. Locals who gave me fantastic advice about the area. Really made a difference to a bit of a stressful trip.
The rooms are large, facilities great, one of the few places with more than 2 beds to a room which is really tough to find. Great location, highly recommend
we found Ballina a little on the tired side… the location of the hotel was good but there weren’t any castors on the bed so every time we got into bed or out of bed it moved around on the new floorboards. we weren’t even having wild athletic sex! just sitting in bed, propped up and watching TV the bed would scoot away from the wall. very annoying
also a shame that the restaurant was closed.
What is there not to like about the Ballina Manor, best place we have stayed in a very long time. Room was perfect, Hannah and Gersche have done an amazing job bringing the Manor back to life, all credit to you both. Perfect hosts and extremely helpful and friendly, perfect couple to take care of the Manor, great job, keep up the great work, and cannot wait to stay again.
Stopped over here on the way north for 3 nights. Excellent motel. Close to many east Ballina local attractions. Excellent size room. Bed was very comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Lots of areas to sit and relax as well as a tennis court. Plus the pool. I can recommend this resort as an excellent place to stay.
Very comfortable bed and pillows. A/C worked well, the biscuits were a nice touch that a lot of other motels have stopped doing. The pool looked very inviting, if we were staying longer that would have been a place to be on a hot afternoon. The hairdryer was apparently great according to my wife.
We really liked the location of the property, it was an easy drive to everything. We visited Byron Bay, Lennox Head and Bangalow. The property was very clean, it was very easy to check in and the area was peaceful and quiet. We loved sitting on the balcony every morning having our breakfast.
The room was big, I was really surprised how big it was. Everything was in there that you expected. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean.
The location was handy as you are walking distance from the city centre.
Had a lovely view over the water
A great hotel for families
the property was clean nice for a cheap motel get away. Right next to a pub and views of the big prawn. am I rushing back to the Chaparral motel? Probably not but if I’m ever looking for a stop over in Ballina again I wouldn’t go past this hotel.
Beautiful Motel in Ballina, Thank you for having pet friendly options. The rooms are large comfortable & modern. Loved the extra cookies. We really enjoyed our stay. The eco friendly bathroom toiletries are great too.
Last minute check in, so I didnt arrange the beakfast or anything, but great value, clean, comfy rooms, very friendly staff and as a bonus they are pet friendly. I love this place and will stay anytime I am up north.
The room has amazing views. Overall the hotel is well maintained and clean. The staff at reception were friendly and made us feel welcome. They also assisted us in arranging a taxi to go to a function.
The motel is on River Street, close to everything. It is quiet, very clean, and the staff is so kind. This is the best motel in Ballina. I love it and will stay again once I stop at Ballina.
Great location in Ballina with easy access to town services. Room was comfortable enough and certainly great value for money. Restaurant at the hotel, provided a good meal.
The hotel is centrally located. It is within easy walking distance from good places to eat. It is off the main street but in a quieter area. Parking is adequate.
