About this property

Blue House Surf Shack

Blue House Surf Shack offers the vibe of summer holidays, when you would just go to the beach, drape your towels over the verandah rails, read books and relax with your family and friends, including your dog.

The house is situated in beautiful Blue Horizon Drive, which is a fun five minute walk to the beach and into town, for dinner and shopping.Blue House Surf Shack is a retro, beautifully furnished beach shack that really is the epitome of the vibe of Lennox. With a large front verandah, replete with an outdoor dining set and BBQ, it's the perfect spot for entertaining family and friends.

Each of the three bedrooms has fans, and two of them have built-in robes. The Shack also has a large, fully- equipped kitchen, with all the mod cons and a sizeable bathroom. The lounge is the perfect place to kick back with your furry friend and read a book, and more often than not, horses come down to the back fence for a snoop.

Just minutes' to town and the beach, Blue House Surf Shack guarantees a great time and lifelong memories.

The property is pet-friendly.

Thank you very much for an unforgettable holiday accomodation! The place was lovely, super well located, walking distance to shops, beach and restaurants. Very well supplied with all the things we needed during our stay (kitchen, bathroom and cleaning supplies). We will definitely want to come back 😊.

We have a beautiful stay in Lennox! Such a nice spot tucked up a few blocks behind the Main Street. Only a short 10-15 minute walk to town. We had the horses and donkeys come up the the fence to visit which our pup was very interested in. Fully fenced and very homey feel. Would highly recommended!!

Great Spot Close to Everything – Highly Recommend!

We had a great stay at the Blue House Surf Shack during the Nationals event in Ballina. The house was conveniently located close to the venue, which made our long days much easier. We really enjoyed the space — it was large, comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials we needed. The location was perfect, just a short walk to great cafes for morning coffees and close to the beach for our early starts. Parking was also super convenient. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely family getaway

We had a great time at the Blue House. The location was perfect - lovely and quiet but close enough to amenities and beach and just a short drive to Byron. The horses in the paddock behind the house made for some magical moments with my children. Would love ti come back and stay in the future.

So comfortable!

We adored our stay as an adult family of four. Every bed was comfortable with quality linen and towels. The hosts thought of everything we might need! Even an air fryer! The best appointed house we’ve ever had the good fortune to stay in. The paddock views and friendly horses were a delight. Would love to stay again

lot of maintenance required

The interior was well set up and comfortable. Maintenance required in the second bedroom. Wardrobe door was very hard to open. The lining of that door is detached from the door and every time the door was opened it became worse. The tracks of the sliding windows are corroded, making it am effort to open or close. The blinds in the second bedroom are also falling apart.Everything you needed was provided, but the surrounding yard was a mess. Taking your life into your hands, getting your luggage in and out of the house. brick driveway is inadequate and the bricks that remain in place are a trip hazard. Almost impossible to get to the bins without tripping. This house is supposed to be pet friendly but nowhere to keep a dog confined as the fence has holes in it and the fence around the veranda has a gap under it that a Saint Bernard could get through. The veranda roof leaks in several places and the guttering needs clearing. We did not have a dog, but the fact remains that this accommodation is advertised as being pet friendly. Would only consider staying there again if these things were all rectified.Overall at the price we paid, not value for money.
