Top Shelly Beach Hotel Reviews

Ramada Hotel and Suites Ballina Byron

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, clean and tidy rooms"

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."

Ballina Beach Nature Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great place for families with young children who will without a doubt, have an amazing and memorable time. Shop has no nearby competition, so it is overpriced: so remember to bring your own food and snacks. Other than that, guaranteed to have a great time."

Ballina Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Lovely place to stay close by several beaches and great beach walks. The property was undergoing renovations and will be beautiful when completed. The gardens provide a peaceful outlook."

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."

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."

Grandview Apartments Ballina

8/10 Good

"The property is walking distance to Shelly beach. Great overall spot to stay. Since the place does have a kitchen the supermarkets does require a drive back into Ballina city center which is about 5-10mins away."

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."
