Henry Rous Tavern

Henry Rous Tavern hosts occasional bands and is a popular eating spot in Ballina. Cafe Alfresco offers casual dining in a relaxed atmosphere.

A short drive from the alternative air of Byron Bay, Ballina has itself emerged as a town with its burgeoning chic, without sacrificing its sunny, down-home appeal.

Ballina's expansive beaches offer tranquility in the tropics and driving or walking around the coastline that leads further north will show a horizon hard to match for sheer wide-screen beauty.
