Everything we wanted/needed
Well almost- a little less rain would have been nice. But it was a perfect place to spend a couple of chilly wet days cosied up watching a few movies. I’m sure there were lots of lovely walks nearby but we really needed rest and relaxation. The bed was super comfortable, bathroom beautifully designed, hideaway laundry a bonus, kitchen perfect in every way and the living area with two sofas was great for movie watching. Every time I thought ‘I wonder if there is a ….’ I looked and there it was. My husband is not very mobile and it was an excellent stay for him. Lovely hosts too!

Great cottage at Shelly Beach
The cottage was a great size and was very comfortable for our short stay. We also felt it would be comfortable for a longer stay. The bed was king size and comfortable. Bathroom and laundry were well appointed, and super handy if you need to do a quick load of washing. The kitchen was spacious and the refrigerator was a great size. The deck outside was a nice place to sit and relax. This property is a short walk to Shelley Beach or Angel's Beach, and there are 2 cafes closeby, with another 5 mins further.

The property is perfectly located within 10 minutes to a walking track that goes well over 20 km, beautiful beaches and great restaurants. Our host Leanne ensured our comfort and needs were looked after. The house has everything you need to relax and get into holiday chill mode. It is immaculately clean, the bed is very comfortable and the shower has great water pressure. We would highly recommend this property

Absolute Bliss!
A beautiful luxury cottage exactly as the pictures depict. I had the most amazing relaxing time with everything I needed at my finger tips. Leanne and Jeff were amazingly welcoming and then pretty much left me to my peaceful solitude. Short walk to the Beach and located a short drive to the centre of town. It was just what I needed. Thank you to Leanne and Jeff for opening your beautiful relaxing and stylish home to me for the week. I will be returning. Merryl

Pleasant stay in Ballina
The cottage was very pleasant and extremely well equipped with everything you could need. It was a short walk to the beach and a good starting point for longer walks. Our hosts Leanne and Jeff were most welcoming, helpful and obliging making sure we had everything we needed. It was a very quiet location a short drive from the town.

The cottage is a stunning place to stay, only minutes walk from beautiful Shelley Beach,walking tracks and scrumptious cafes. Leanne and Jeff are such wonderful hosts -respectful of privacy but warm and inviting. They have thought of everything! Check in was smooth and everything was just as you see in the photos. I can't recommend this property highly enough and I look forward to staying again. Thanks Leanne and Jeff, such a pleasure to meet you both.

Reality break
My partner and i had a lovely time, hiding away from the world, for a few days. The cottage was modern, yet cosy, and private. and well stocked with everything from a picnic hamper back pack, to take our lunch down to the beach, to a tourch for a midnight walk after a late bbq on the mini weber.

Stylish cottage close to the beach.
We were fortunate to have 2 nights at this stylish, elegant and tastefully appointed cottage. Everything you need and little more to ensure a relaxing stay. We had a lovely lunch at the Shelley Beach cafe which is a 10 minute stroll along the beach and also a long walk to Skenner head. The property is well located in East Ballina, in a lovely garden setting. We would stay again.

Perfect down to the tiny detail
The cottage was beautifully decorated (will try to imitate these interiors at home), very comfortable, and perfectly set out, with absolutely everything we needed for our stay. Great location in a quiet street about 2 mins walk to the beach, less than 5 to a great cafe for breakfast and right next to a beautiful beachside walkway. During our stay we also made use of the short drive up to Lennox head and Byron bay. The owner (Leanne) was fantastic with her communication and made sure everything was perfect right the way through our stay; 100% would stay here again.
