To me it was like an unfriendly backpackers. Communication both before and after I arrived I found very difficult. The bed was VERY soft, maybe a foam mattress. It is 1km from town, far if you have bags and in 37 degree heat. Taxis are not easy to get and from the address, if you can get one, it is $15 into town. When you arrive there are more rules, an A4 page full and then more pinned to doorframes, I think it would be nice if all rules were known in advance. I had no issue complying, it would just be nice to know them before you arrive. I am more comfortable with less pedantic places and do not choose places with long lists of rules so I felt a little put out by this to be honest. I prefer places based around mutual respect, common sense and consideration, but perhaps all these rules are needed. I found it very expensive for the price, you could book a good hotel for the same price I paid and not need taxis and would get a better breakfast. The 'museli breakfast' is some dregs of museli in a plastic container with a jar of instant coffee alongside. Obviously I didn't touch it and went out. I have stayed at some amazing Airbnb places with really lovely friendly hosts who have made me feel really welcome and made it a very rich and rewarding experience, this was not one of those places for me. It was also over double the price I have ever paid before. I had thought it closer to town when I booked, it would be easier if you fly in domestically as shuttles from Ballina can come directly to the door. A friend kindly dropped me off in pouring rain and I couldn't even invite her in for a moment. A hotel would have be better for me for the $144 I paid.
