The EV charger was much appreciated. As was the shared kitchen. The room was cosy but we would have preferred a little more space.

Down for the weekend to explore the area. I was greeted by a very friendly host. The bedroom was immaculate and very well presented. The bathroom has been renovated and was also very well presented. The grounds are beautifully maintained. A very short walk to the center of the main street. Cannot fault the hotel and a reasonable price.

While the property itself is okay, the rating is regarding the poor customer service of the property. Unfortunately the property owner chose to stop communicating and refused a refund ä when there was an order to prepare for evacuation for Ballina CBD in place during tropical cyclone Alfred issued by NSW State Emergency Services. 0 out of 0
