Leisa place is stunning, close to the beach, safe, and exactly what we wanted for our stay in the area.
Skennars Head is super close to Ballina and has a beautiful beach, which you are 2 mins walk from, and would be perfect for surfing but we used it for a refreshing swim. It was nice to sit on the balcony from which you can hear the waves and have a meal with a pleasant breeze. The balcony does face the street, but it is a quiet street in a nice, friendly neighbourhood.
Leisa has prepared a folder to assist your adventures, and we used her recommendation about the local thai restaurant on our first night 10/10! The room does get light early in the morning as the sun rises, as not all windows have curtains/blinds. Bed was comfortable, we slept with the balcony doors open (has a fly screen and the area is quiet), apartment was well equipped with all the essentials (except cooking facilities), and the styling of the apartment was impressive.
Also note, there is a small, friendly dog living on the property that comes to greet you when you enter through the gate. She is obedient and doesn't enter the flat.
