Stayed for 3 nights in a family room. Clean, comfortable and conveniently located accommodation base to explore the Ballina region. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was large, modern and clean. The caravan out the front serving barrista coffee and bacon and egg rolls was a welcome bonus - definitely recommend!
