We stayed in the “East Wing” which is spacious, comfortable, clean and private. The generous balcony has a fabulous view that complements the apartment. The bathroom is roomy and the kitchen is well equipped. The Brighton Street shops and Shawsy Hotel are across the road and there’s easy access to the breakwall, lake and beaches or a walk into town. If you have bicycles (or want to hire), the cycleways are fantastic and you can explore more of Ballina and its surrounds, otherwise you can easily walk to most places. On-site undercover parking is a bonus given on-street parking is limited.
We recommend walking to the Shelly Beach cafe along the headland for either a great coffee and/or feed with sensational views along the beach. However, everywhere we visited the small business owners were providing great customer service and doing their very best given these difficult and changing Covid tense times.
