The Ballina Byron Islander Resort takes dogs in a small set of designated pet-friendly rooms, with just three available, so booking early and direct is the practical first move. It is a full resort-style stay rather than a basic motel, which makes the limited pet rooms the thing to lock in.
The pet policy. Only three rooms are set aside for pets, so availability is tight. Dogs must stay on the tiled areas, be kept on a lead around the property and stay off the furniture. Clean up immediately, and note that noise or behaviour complaints from other guests can lead to a pet being asked to leave. Book direct to confirm a pet room and any fees.
The place. A resort setup with a pool and the usual on-site facilities, with rooms reviewers describe as comfortable and spacious. The pet rooms keep dogs to hard-floored areas, which suits travellers happy to work around that.
Location and nearby. Handy to Ballina's foreshore and beaches. The riverside paths and the off-leash area at the Spit are a short trip for walks and a paddle.
Who it suits. Travellers who want resort facilities and can book one of the few pet rooms well ahead. Less suited to last-minute trips, given the three-room cap.
Before you book. Call ahead to secure a pet room, confirm the current fee, and check the tiled-areas and on-lead conditions suit your dog.
