We had a wonderful stay in lovely East Ballina, everything posted about Ocean Blue was accurate and the apartment immaculately clean with lovely amenities and homely touches. The view from the balcony is stunning, be sure to bring binoculars. The view extends from South Ballina beach, along the wall and right across to the hills behind the Richmond River, I loved watching the trawlers come in and out each day, the boats, the surfing lessons, the dogs on the dog beach.... I could go on.
The apartment is in a fantastic location, with surf beaches and lookouts right on the doorstep. We saw whales from the lookout at the bottom of the road. Great cafes a short walk away too, such as Belle General and the Lighthouse Beach cafe. Beaches were clean and being winter we almost had the beach to ourselves for a gorgeous walk and lovely clear water. Ballina itself is a 5-7 minute drive away and hardly any traffic on the road.
Our bed was very comfortable, and bathrooms sparkling clean and there was a good range of essentials such as oil, tea and some condiments in the kitchen plus a coffee maker. The TV has everything you need too and a bluetooth speaker was great for music. The apartment was quiet and the undercover parking space great appreciated. Check in and check out were very easy and Clinton was very responsive and checked in with us during our stay to see how we were getting on which is the sign of a great host.
All in all I'd totally recommend Ocean Blue, I had to tear myself away from the view. There are not many places in East Ballina that could match it. Thanks so much for sharing your place with us Clinton!
