Our East Ballina unit is set amongst the trees with beautiful views across the river to the Pacific Ocean and beyond. Watch the whales migrate(May - Oct ) while relaxing on the deck. Nestled into the hillside surrounded by lush ferns in a quiet & peaceful location. We are only a 5 minute walk to Lighthouse beach river, popular cafes and shops.The Bus stop is across the road to Byron Bay, Lennox Head or down town. Quiet family environment surrounded by birds and bush. NOTE : We are a quiet family neighbourhood so no parties and all noise on the deck must end by 9pm. If you do a late BOOKING after 8pm can you please call us on the phone number listed once you book.
