Our East Ballina unit is set amongst the trees with beautiful views across the river to the Pacific Ocean and beyond. Watch the whales migrate(May - Oct ) while relaxing on the deck. Nestled into the hillside surrounded by lush ferns in a quiet & peaceful location. We are only a 5 minute walk to beaches, river, popular cafes and shops.The Bus stop is across the road to Byron Bay, Lennox Head or down town. Quiet family environment surrounded by birds and bush. NOTE : We are a quiet family neighbourhood so no parties and all noise on the deck must end by 9pm.
Hi, We are a couple who love travel, meeting new people and sharing this beautiful part of the world with other travellers. We love the beaches here and the walks along the river. There are may fun activities locally from boating to flying, fishing, swimming, water falls and hiking to name a few.
