Fantastic holiday location close to the beach and lagoon.
Great walk along the wall.
Unit was clean and had pleanty of room everything to make a holiday stress free we had a lovely holiday.
Would recommend to anyone looking
to holiday in Ballina
Beautiful location the unit was clean and in a quiet area. So close we could take regular walks along the beach and across the bridge. Thank you the process was easy, great location.
Enjoyed our stay, very family friendly. Would have appreciated a few more washing & dishwashing tablets, and things like bin bags etc. A family of 6 staying for a week 2 of each wasnt much. Would stay again though, great location.
We loved our stay here. The area was quiet and safe, only minutes walk to the beach and nearby cafes. The back yard was fully enclosed which was great for our dog. The unit was clean, comfortable, easy to find and no problem using the key lockbox. Neighbours were quiet. Loved the comfy beds, great to have two bathrooms. Fans and aircon were welcome.
This is a great place to stay for a family, comfortable, spotlessly clean, spacious and a perfect location if you want to just walk out the door and be on the beach. Within a short stroll you have the surf beach, sheltered Shaw’s Bay, coastal walks, playgrounds cafes and fishing spots. There’s a good covered barbeque area, an enclosed backyard. Stock up on supplies in town and you can leave the car parked for your whole stay.
Lovely property, great location.Everything was available although parking was lacking especially for more than one vehicle. No access to the garage.The BBQ had not been cleaned for sometime. It was too greasy and dirty to use.Otherwise a great place to stay, very comfortable, making or stay enjoyable.
We stayed at McKinnon by the Bay for a long weekend in February. We found the place to be clean, comfortable and within easy access to everything we needed. The bonus for us was that it is pet friendly. There was 2 off leash dog areas one was a park near the townhouse the other was on the Ballina side of the bridge on the water although we did go to Lennox for a really good off leash beach called 7 mile beach there was surf and sand for our dog to really enjoy. The townhouse was clean and very quiet which was really nice for a relaxing break.
