Ballina Beach Nature Resort was clean. Facilities were good, but few basic amenities were not there, like no bath towels were provided, no internet connection, after hours customer service were poor. Location was too far from main Ballina city centre as ferry service was not in function during Christmas holidays.

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.
