Reviews
Ballina beach stay
Jackie C - 11th November 2024My rental accommodation, celebrating my son's 30th Birthday was everything that I had hoped for and more, lovely & spacious, comfortable beds, lovely outdoor space, the added bonus of a second toilet & shower. Every thing was as described and delighted to find a few unexpected additions, like hand wash, cleaning spray, glad wrap, alfoil, ample toilet paper etc. The address was easy to find and instructions to getting in to the house were clear. Absolutely loved how close it was to be beach. ☺️
Easy booking process, great stay
Joanne I - 24th September 2024We loved our recent stay in Ballina: the house was comfortable, quiet and well appointed and the booking process was easy and extremely efficient, thank you!
Lovely accommodation close to the beach
Rikki-lee P - 12th June 2024Thank you we loved staying here. It was our first time in Ballina and we loved being so close to the beach. Accomodation was very clean and well maintained, easy check in with a lock box and close to local cafes. We would stay here again.
Very good location
Lynette K - 14th May 2024This was a really comfortable place. Very good location, right near the beach, walking tracks.
Nice location
Ronald B - 27th February 2024Nice unit apart from killed several cockroachs and out door table and chairs sticky from I guess paint stain, also could do with some more comfortable seating arrangements in lounge as not so good
Enjoyable Stay
Alexander L - 16th February 2024A clean townhouse that had everything in order (except for a clothes drier). Air con was great and the bed was comfortable. The kitchen had all the utensils apart from garbage liners which were not supplied. Our German Shepherd Dog had plenty of secured outside space and really enjoyed the coastal walks which were about five minutes away by foot. A leash free area was also 15 minutes away by foot. In all, a great holiday.
Family friendly apartment in great location
Hannah T - 11th December 2023We had a lovely time in this apartment. It is in a great location and very family friendly.
McKinnon on the Bay
Lynnette I - 20th November 2023We had a lovely stay at McKinnon on the Bay, we found the place was nice and clean and fresh linen, everything was there that we needed, the lounges were a little bit low and uncomfortable but overall we enjoyed staying there and would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone, also the location was great.
Will be back
Belinda H - 27th October 2023Had a great stay in East Ballina. Ex-locals visiting for a wedding, great location, comfortable well-equipped house, perfect for our needs - 5 adults and a baby. Large comfortable bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and large indoor and outdoor living spaces were very handy. Communicative hosts - quick acceptance of booking and clear timely instructions. Close to beaches and river, town centre close by - short drive or moderate scenic walk. Driveway and easy street parking. Would definitely stay again. Thank you for having us!

Jen B - 30th September 2023Great place, more than suitable for our needs. Located within walking distance of beach and amazing views of the north head and river walkways. Will certainly be happy to stay again
Beach holiday
Coral Montiford - 21st September 2023This is great location a hidden gem couple of houses up cross the road you are at the beach. Lovely walks along concrete path walk out and watch the dolphins swimming. Then it came to sleeping unfortunately my husband left early as the bed is like a rock and the other bed to soft arch in your back. So the sleep put a damper on our holiday due to the beds. Very clean and tidy great courtyard The mattresses did look new.

Perfect Location
Robyn - 26th March 2023Our stay at McKinnon on the Bay was great. The location was perfect & the house was very well maintained, it had everything we needed & was very clean. The self check in & check out was very easy. The undercover area was a great place for our fur babies to stay dry in their tent. Overall our stay was very enjoyable. We would recommend McKinnon on the Bay to anyone visiting Ballina & especially those who travel with a pet
Peaceful long weekend
Karen - 17th March 2023We 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.
Good locatiom
Diane McClintock - 31st December 2022Only negative was the bunk type beds in the third bedroom. We had an adult sleeping in the bed and he couldn't sleep on the bed because the springs had gone. I think the beds need replacing. Hopefully that will be doe for next year.
Thank you Diane for taking the time to leave feedback, we are happy to hear that you have enjoyed your stay :) The owner has just purchased new pillowtop mattresses for the beds and they will be installed mid January 2023!
Excellent

Miia Prowse - 17th April 2022Lovely quiet area. The property is as described, clean and comfortable. Can relax with the enclosed yard for dog. There is an off-leash dog park at the end of the street as well as many great walking paths. Would recommend!
