Hotels near Byron Gateway Airport, Ballina

Parking is free, the environment is particularly good, you can see the yacht, it is very suitable for taking children, you can run along the river in the morning, next to a large shopping supermarket. No breakfast, there is a shared laundry room. The Italian restaurant downstairs is open late in the evening.

Great location- walk to beach, lighthouse, restaurant . Perfect getaway for a romantic weekend - or a few days longer! Loved the room spa. King bed sooo comfortable- The grounds pool, spa and sauna well looked after. The staff very friendly and helpful. Definitely will return.

The room is not big, but the kitchen equipment is quite complete, there is no problem in cooking for yourself! Booked for two big and one small occupancy, so it is a double bed + a single bed room type. Good choice~

We stayed here for two nights, it suited our purpose as just a place to sleep really. Unfortunately the lifts were out of order which wasn't great with our suitcases. The hostel is in a pretty good location, not far from the main street which then leads to the beach. Our room was basic but at least felt clean (we were in a private en suite room). We didn't use the cooking facilities but the rules seemed to be quite well enforced which is encouraging. The pool looked ok but we didn't use it and the sunbeds smelled really bad.

This accommodation may not be the most chic or modern place in Byron, but if you are looking for a central location at a reasonable price, it's definitely worth a look. The biggest drawcard is probably the spacious apartments in a convenient but quiet location in the Byron town centre, with underground parking to avoid the street parking fees. It's only a few minutes walk to the main shopping area, and slightly further to the Main Beach. If you're on a budget the in-room cooking facilities are also a plus. Given its location, the rooms don't have views. The pool area is a bit basic and there are some aspects of the complex that are a bit dated; and the carpark can be tight for manoeuvring. One issue in my room was a skylight above the loft bedroom. It had a blind to stop the morning sun waking you up, but this was awkward to access and it looked like a tool to assist with this was broken, meaning you had to lean out some distance over the drop to the ground floor which was not entirely safe. Hopefully this can be rectified with a safer option. However I had no issues with the overall facilities, cleanliness and so forth. The price at the time of my stay was definitely competitive compared to some of the more fancy accommodation, and the size of the room was definitely much better than many similarly priced motels nearby.

Having not been to Byron since 2006, I came for a night with a friend. We didn't want to be spending in to the 100s for a room we would only sleep in. We opted for the Cape Byron YHA. For $70, we got a twin room with a double and a bunk. The room was pretty bare, no TV - But it had a clothes hang/store area / mirror / enough plugs for the 2 of us. The bed was comfy and the covers were clean and warm (you have to ***** the bed upon check out). There were 3 or 4 showers in the block on our floor, same for toilets - you needed the swipe card to get in - again clean, warm. The kitchen area was large - this grossed me out a little - but it's been a long time since I backpacked Oz and needed to cook for myself in such. The pans were old and pretty grubby. You had to get your plates etc from reception - but we had ours with us. The tea towels were rank - I wouldn't use. The worst however was a bloke in the kitchen coughing all over the place - not the hostels fault, but nasty nonetheless. Needless to say, we didn't go sit and eat by him - we ate on our balcony which had a table and 2 chairs. During COVID-times and no flights coming in to Oz, this hostel serviced a range of ages - I am 40 and there were people older than me there. I found the hostel more like a motel. Good location and good wifi.

Elements of Byron is truly a beautiful and relaxing accommodation. The atmosphere is serene, and the rooms are designed to promote ultimate relaxation. I had the opportunity to do yoga every day during my stay, which was a wonderful addition to the experience. While the yoga instructor could be more advanced, I still thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. I would, however, suggest adding a shelter over the yoga area to provide protection from the rain. The reception and front desk team were exceptionally helpful and welcoming. The food was delicious and added to the overall enjoyment of my stay. The surrounding forest was another highlight, offering an amazing natural escape. The only thing I found a bit unusual was the beach. While it is stunning from afar, I was unable to swim there. There seemed to be a lot of sandbanks, and there was an area of muddy, dirty water separating the beach from the sand. I wasn’t sure if this was natural or something like sewage, which was slightly concerning. Despite this, my overall experience was excellent, and I highly recommend Elements of Byron for anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating stay.

I booked a family room for my three children and me. We didn’t need anything spectacular as were arriving late and checking out early, just comfortable, clean beds and a quiet place to sleep. This is however not what we found at the Comfort Inn. We felt awkward from the moment we arrived to the very busy, dated premises at around 9pm. There were numerous people partying on balconies and outside rooms. We picked up our keys and were disappointed to find out that there was not an allocated car park and instead we were to find a park. The car parking area was very narrow and full of cars with nowhere to park near our room. We had to reverse out the space is so cramped. I lugged our gear and three kids down the dimly lit driveway with a number of parties of people looking on, the room was not easy to find. It appeared that people were residents and not motel guests (given the amount of stuff you could see in their rooms), and sitting outside their rooms playing guitar and drinking. I’m all for merriment, don’t get me wrong, but preferably not right outside your motel room. The whole place looked grubby and dare I say it, a little “ghetto”. Cigarette butts lying around, dirty carpet outside the entrance to our room, people drinking everywhere. When we finally got in we realised the family room we booked was also shabby, with chipped tiles, tiles missing, and a general grubby feeling. We could still hear the music and partying outside so at this point, with three tired children, we decided to abort mission. This was not at all a family friendly motel and doesn’t deserve its three stars. We didn’t feel particularly safe, nor was it clean nor welcoming. I left a message on the after hours service explaining that we did not feel comfortable staying there and had returned the key. We called another motel at the last minute and they kindly accommodated us. They were welcoming and their rooms were pristine, and somehow cost less than the ghetto at Comfort Inn. I requested a refund, as I did not feel that the experience we had was in line with how the Comfort Inn markets itself, and the “family” room and the premises were not suitable for a family at all and not worth the $225 paid. I have however been refused a refund. Do not stay at this place.

This is an amazing place. They’ve taken an original motel on the old pacific hwy and made it such a cool hotel. Rooms are spacious and incredibly the clean. Booking was simple, the pre arrival contact was super professional and the staff are seriously good. The girl that checked me in was so friendly and welcoming. The hotel is about a 5 minute walk to the pub, which is a destination in itself. Whenever I’m working in Ballina or Byron I make this my stopover.
