This unit looks directly onto the Pacific Ocean and some of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. The unit is very comfortable and would be particularly suitable for a family as it has one main bedroom with a queen-sized bed, and a smaller bedroom with two single beds at the rear.
The unit is well fitted out with a good kitchen, laundry space, and separate bathroom and toilet. While you could prepare all of your meals here, There are some very good local food options. You could breakfast at the close-by Surf House for good quality traditional dishes, or, for the more adventurous, Chef Shuka in the main street near the Police Station does excellent Ottolenghi inspired meals. For lunch, the tempura prawns at The Gallery in Ballina were outstanding. Chez Bon in Ballina is also an excellent choice for quality French dishes.
Previous reviews pointing out issues such as the small water-saver shower head and the lack of air conditioning are accurate but were not really problems for us. One thing that you should be aware of however, is that this property is managed by a real estate company and is not an Airbnb as you might have come to expect. As such, you have to drive the nearby town of Lennox Head to pick up and return the keys. For this you will obviously need to be traveling by car. The property manager, Michelle, was very helpful in organizing an after hours pick up at their office. A digital lock at the property would seem to be a more efficient solution.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, however, and experiences such as late evening night-caps overlooking the ocean will stay with us forever.
