"Good location, staff on front desk were helpful. Some parts of the resort look a bit tired, could do with a birthday. The pool area is being upgraded and will be great when complete."

"Staff are very helpful with accommodating requests and respond quickly. The property is clean and well maintained. Security on-site is excellent. The hotel is centrally located to the business centre of lismore but is quiet. A pleasant park is directly across the road and for a no-fuss quick meal the Lismore Workers Club is a two minute walk away.

A welcome lack of signs telling you what to do and staff very low key so we felt free to just relax and enjoy ourselves. Cabin was very clean and everything worked. Very close to town, the river and the surf beach and very close to the excellent cafe and restaurant at the surf club.

This place has such an amazing vibe and a wonderfully relaxed tropical feel. We absolutely love it! It's a shame it's not within walking distance of the town centre, but it's just a quick 4-minute drive or a pleasant 22-minute walk away.

I recently spent 5 nights at Invercauld House with my 5 year old daughter. Being my home town, I knew the area well but I had never heard of this hidden gem of Lismore! Absolutely loved our stay here, in this private leafy grand motel room. The trees and grounds are meticulously maintained, it was cool and welcoming, clean and user friendly. The pool is amazing, huge and wonderful we swam nearly every day with a short walk back to our room, past the guest laundry where we threw our towels in the...

a very quiet place with new cabins and facilities
a ferry service takes you from Ballina to South Ballina and it runs until 12.15am which made it an enjoyable trip back into Ballina for dinner

We absolutely loved our room on the top floor with the view of the marina and river. So comfortable having a separate bedroom. Hotel staff couldn’t do enough for us and went above and beyond. The office manager Casey was so helpful and professional and Sally on reception was a complete delight. So friendly and kind and efficient. We will definitely recommend the Ramada to our family and friends, and would love to return for another holiday here. Thank you also to James the house man who was so...

When is the best time to go to Buckendoon?
The best time to go to Buckendoon is during the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May).
These periods offer pleasant weather with comfortable temperatures, making them ideal for exploring the region's natural beauty without the extreme heat of summer or the cooler, sometimes wet, conditions of winter. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed experience at popular spots.
For those planning outdoor activities like hiking or enjoying the lakeside, spring provides blossoming flora and generally calm waters. Autumn brings beautiful foliage and comfortable temperatures for longer walks or cycling, making it superb for couples seeking a peaceful escape with scenic backdrops.
Families often find these shoulder seasons excellent as well. The milder weather is more conducive to children enjoying outdoor adventures without overheating, and the reduced tourist numbers mean less waiting at attractions and more space to play.
