The location of this unit is great. As others have noted, this is a motel-style room with a kitchenette, rather than a kitchen. If you are prepared for that, it's a top place to stay in Ballina. with good walking, swimming, snorkelling a short walk away. The fridge is a bar fridge but has plenty of room for a short stay. No hotplate but there's a microwave. Only a few minutes away is a pizza/hamburger/fish and chips/coffee/gelato takeaway, and the Shaws Bay Hotel is another minute from the takeaway. The pub is pretty quiet and not a late-nighter - seems to shut around 9ish. We hardly noticed it on a Friday or Saturday night. The pub has a restaurant.
