Top Saunders Oval Hotel Reviews

The Cubana Ballina

10/10 Excellent

"This is a cute, renovated old style budget motel. We stayed one night as part of a longer trip and were very happy with this place. It’s close to the river walk, and is about 1km easy walk into the centre of Ballina. Reception isn’t 24 hours but they have key boxes for late arrivals. There is a nice outdoor pool area and parking outside the unit’s door. Tea and coffee making is provided and the room was big enough for us to lay out our 2 suitcases."

Econo Lodge Chaparral Motel Ballina

8/10 Good

"Pros: Clean basic accomodation, great value for money. Parking outside the room. Con: Noise from the road."

Ballina Palms Boutique Motel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a very unique design on the property. Very quaint and quiet."

Ballina Manor Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely stunning rooms, comfy beds and breakfast was amazing. Will 100% be back."

Almare Tourist Motel

8/10 Good

"Comfortable convenient stop"

Comfort Inn All Seasons

8/10 Good

"Handy location, welcoming staff. Room and amenties were more than adequate for a quick weekend away. Ample parking, however it is sometimes difficult to get a space in front/near your unit as they are not numbered or reserved by room."

Riverside Apartments & Hotel Ballina

8/10 Good

"If you stay on the side away from the river, you will be waken up by dump trucks at 6 am. They need a plumber and a toilet cleaner. Otherwise a top spot."

Ballina Homestead Motel

8/10 Good

"For us, traveling on a long electric vehicle road trip, the availability of onsite, undercover charging was a big advantage. Very comfortable bed. Comfortable settee was good to enjoy for our two night stay. Good dining options nearby — for example, a sunset dinner at the Wharf Bay and Restaurant, a pleasant stroll away beside the Richmond River."
