With the opening of the Ballina
bypass access to the ranch is easiest via
Wardell 16 klms south of Ballina. Traveling south
along the Pacific Hwy cross over the Richmond River
bridge (1klm south of the Wardell turn-off) then take
the first left into River Drive. Proceed 4.2 klms
north along River Drive then turn right into Moylans
Lane (note - the street sign "Horse & Rider
Accommodation"). Tassiriki Ranch is at the end
of Moylans Lane on the left. If you are traveling
north along the Pacific Hwy you will pass through
Woodburn then Broadwater (the Sugar Mill passes on
your left), then just before the Richmond River bridge
(big metal span opening bridge appears ahead) you
turn right into River Drive (note - the street sign
"Horse & Rider Accommodation"). Travel
4.2klms along River Rd then turn right in to Moylans
Lane (note - the street sign "Horse & Rider
Accommodation"). Tassiriki Ranch is on the left
at the eastern end of Moylans Lane.
The northern access is via the Burns
Point Ferry on the southern outskirts of Ballina township.
Proceed south along the Old Pacific Hwy through Ballina
following the signs to Grafton. At 100m south of the
Big Prawn turn left off the Old Pacific Hwy into Burns
Point Ferry Rd, cross over the Richmond river by ferry
then head south along River Drive for 7klms, turn
left into Moylans Lane (note - the street sign "Horse
& Rider Accommodation"). Tassiriki Ranch
is at the end of Moylans Lane on the left. PLEASE
NOTE: A $4.40 fee applies to all cars using the ferry.
The ferry operates from 5:30am to 12:30am 7 days a
week. The ferry closes for maintenance from 9:00am
to midday on the second Tuesday of every month. When
towing a horse-float the access to Tassiriki Ranch
via Burns Point Ferry can be difficult at low tide,
a safer option is to come via the southern most access
at East Wardell.
