Very well appointed and comfortable place to stay. It was raining during my stay and I was more than happy to hang inside in between planned outings. Comfy couches, peppermint tea, plenty of books, fast wifi, anything and everything you could need. The location is great, the walk down to Shelley Beach is quite nice, and the cafe nearby (the Belle General) is excellent. I didn't have a car but the cab to the airport was about $25 and to Ballina Town Centre about $15. There is a bus to Byron Bay that stops near the house on the main road.
The hosts are great - no demanding instructions about checking out and using the place, they just make you feel welcome and ask if you need anything. When I arrived at night the entry lights were on and the heating going, couldn't have been a nicer welcome.
