Top Big Prawn Hotel Reviews

Ballina Homestead Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is ideally located for a stay in Ballina. Our room was spacious and we equipped. The management staff were very friendly and helpful to throughout our stay. 100% we would choose this hotel if we found ourselves in ballina again."

Ballina Beach Nature Resort

8/10 Good

"Such a soft comfy bed. I stayed in a glamping tent. Was hot so I. Glad there was AC. Only thing I’d like to see perhaps is a little mirror and a shelf to put clothes etc on. Yes I understand that it’s a ‘swag’ but if you have a bed and fridge and sink etc may sweep make it a bit more glampy and pop a mirror and somewhere to put clothes instead of on the floor. Good location. Short drive to beach, probably can walk it, nice little water park too. Clean and tidy facilities. Bit pricey for the glamping tent though. If staying for a while and want secure tent, bring a little padlock. They have one to use too. Overall good stay and would visit again."
