Stay in the Heart of Ballina
Our location places you within walking distance of everything. From the riverside walkway to cafés, playgrounds, the Big Prawn and boutique shopping, there’s no need to plan big day trips when everything is right here. You’re also only minutes from the beach, the Ballina Fair shopping centre, and local attractions like the Ballina Naval and Maritime Museum.
Fully Equipped Comfort for Families
Our spacious apartments are designed for convenience and comfort. With full kitchens, laundry facilities, and separate living areas, families can enjoy meals together and unwind after a day of exploring. It’s the flexibility and space you won’t find in a standard hotel room.
Plus, with our underground parking and easy lift access, getting in and out with kids and luggage is stress-free.
Relax with Heated Indoor Amenities
Winter weather doesn’t have to get in the way of a good time. Take a dip in our heated indoor pool, perfect for cooler days and still fun for the little ones. Parents can sit back and relax while the kids enjoy the water, without worrying about the temperature.
You’ll also find a fully equipped gym just two blocks away, available at no cost for our guests. It’s an easy way to keep active even during the holidays.
River Views That Make You Pause
Many of our apartments offer stunning views of the Richmond River. There’s something deeply calming about sipping a morning coffee or sharing a quiet dinner with that backdrop. Whether you’re here for a few nights or a week, the view becomes part of the experience.
It’s not just about having a place to stay. It’s about feeling connected to the natural beauty of Ballina.
