This is a really good location 3 mins walk to a great beach and excellent cycle/walking paths. It a well designed house with all the facilities you might need. We used it for a family Christmas with members of all ages coming from different directions, eating together and playing games. We had a great week. Ballina is surprisingly good with amazing beaches, much river front, ocean beaches with flags and quiet river beaches for small kids. And there are excellent cafes/takeaways of all cultures and every shop you need.
