Right out the front of this resort is a bike and walking tracking with takes to both ways along the river and up to the beach and open ocean.



Ballina is mostly a flat location so it easy to walk or ride to most locations. The bike and walking tracks are very well marked and there are detailed maps of these available. This is an ideal location if you enjoy a walk or a bike ride along the coast.



We have under cover secure parking so for the locations which are further a field driving is an easy option.
