Comfortable, clean with a beach house vibe. Nicely situated in a laid back town a shortish drive to Ballina and good dog beaches. Would happily stay again.
loved the house especially the shower, our puppy enjoyed the front and back yards and would stay again if I need to come back to the area. And the owners were really helpful and welcoming.
We stayed a week. It's a fantastic property to stay, relax and explore the local area. The property is very private and quiet, and secure fencing for pets. Check in was super easy, and the house has everything you could possibly need. The hosts have thought of everything. There is a little games hut with surfboards, golf clubs and back yard games, if you're energetic, or you can just relax on the deck and enjoy the serenity. Mark and Kim were excellent with their communication, making everything about our stay seemless.
The start was a bit hectic as the owner posted key access number on Stayz, assuming that we did everything on phones, we don't. So it took us an hour or so for Kim to get us the details.The stay was excellent, we were away from crowded areas and yet had good access to Ballina, Byron Bay and other areas around.The house had everything we needed and was comfortable and functional. My friends were a bit skeptical after I booked it, but they had a great holiday and they needed it.We would stay again if we were going to northern NSW again.

I am a keen surfer who loves to live by the coast which attracted me to this wonderful village in the Northern Rivers. Its close location to many of my favourite surf spots was a real clincher when I purchased in this area.
