Location is great for a beach getaway. We had a group of us stay for the weekend. The house was big, upstairs was nice. The hosts were quick to reply to questions except about the wi-fi. There are definitely no frills about this place but it worked for what we needed.

Remember to ask for wifi.

The house was exactly what we were looking for, namely a beach house 50 metres from the beach. The house itself was clean, well appointed with furniture and a good kitchen with all the usual bits an pieces one needs. We had a few questions for the hosts and they graciously answered by sms in a timely fashion. We would go back.

awsome house. recently renovated. very nice family went out of there way to organise fishinh rods which was nice.will definitely rent this house again.

My family and sister's family had an amazing 3 days celebrating our mother's 80th birthday. Being so close to the beach and having the games room were definitely a bonus. Being able to sit around the campfire was very special - there was even an ice machine which was awesome!! Thank you for everything - we had a very memorable stay which we will talk about for years to come!! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to relax, fish and enjoy the peaceful surroundings this property has to offer - thanks again!!!

Beautiful location just a short stroll from the wonderful Patches Beach. The house was magnificent. Our stay was amazing.

What a lovely home! So spacious and beautifully presented, the Hellen family created such a nice spot for our friends' weekend away. Mick was a great communicator and quick to check in with us regarding what we needed to make our stay a positive one.

What a fantastic experience, we had a busy holiday, seeing and doing many things and this place just made us stop, relax and soak up it's beauty. Great place and incredible views over the infinity pool, big sprawling river, the ocean behind it, truly breathtaking and no photo could ever do it justice. The property itself is gorgeous and in the most beautiful section of nature, amazing gardens and grounds, perfect for a nice bush stroll to the nearby waterfalls, amazing! The hosts were super friendly and informative and always on hand to help with anything we needed, otherwise we didn't even know they were around. Beryl is so sweet, she even hung our washing out on the clothesline. My only sad thing is that I couldn't stay longer and I am not sure when I can get back... I for sure will be going back!

What an amazing place to stay. The weather wasn't great but it didn't matter. We spent what seemed like hours simply looking at the amazing view. Beryl and John were great hosts and the accommodation had everything we needed. The pool was an added bonus and the kids loved playing with the provided pool equipment and toys. Thanks Beryl for allowing us to stay with you. If we're up that way again we'll look you up.

The house was great (secluded and quite from the city) and offered a very comfortable living arrangement between 7 guys! Beryl was more than happy to help us with anything we needed such as supply us with new cooking equipment since we all cook from scratch. She even offered us a ride to byron bay! The surrounding land was gorgeous! There was so much to explore during our morning walks and Beryl let us know which places were the best to visit on and off the property. The best part was the view from the pool during sunrise as well as sitting by the fire under all those stars after a BBQ session. The price was great, and you just have to be willing to drive to where you need to be (byron bay was 30 minutes). Beryl was very kind to us and respected our privacy. I would recommend this place to anyone who wishes to come into the area.

Our stay was absolutely amazing and it's all thanks to Beryl and John. The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay fabulous. The place is breathtakingly beautiful (the photos do not do justice) and the place feels comfortable just like home. Our stay was out highlight of the trip. I will most definitely be back!

Wow! The photos do not do the home justice - the views from the garden are incredible. Beryl and John were great hosts - incredibly flexible with our arrival time as we were travelling up from Sydney and due to traffic we couldn't provide an exact arrival time. Great space inside the property which comfortably fit the six of us - like us, if you have a car, this is an awesome base for enjoying Byron and the surrounding towns of the area. 10/10

Nice place in a beautiful location. The host was friendly & helpful.

We had a fabulous experience at Riverview retreat. There were a lot of activities available at the retreat. Carolyn, our host also provided some great suggestions on the local sights. Will definitely visit the Riverview retreat again :)

Riverview Retreat was true to it's name. We tested it's capacity and it slept 8 comfortably. It was a perfect family holiday experience, picturesque and welcoming.

Very nice place peaceful. Great for using the river

Carolyn was a great host, went out of her way to make our stay the best. such a beautiful home in a lovely location, so peaceful yet close to amenities. loved it :) :)

Less than 5 minutes off the highway so a good stopover point. The place was easy enough to find, and the takeaway store in town does good burgers with quite large servings of chips or wedges (we halved a burger and wedges between the two of us). Wifi is ~7mb/sec so good, water is hot and bed is comfortable!

Susann is a very welcoming, friendly host and easy to communicate with, we had great chats. She bakes amazing German bread, you can buy one from her. The airbnb place is in a separate building next to the main house which gives you more privacy, it's spacious and cozy with private bathroom, microwave, sitting area, but if you need you can pop over and use their fully equipped kitchen. Stayed there just one night but was great experience, their kids are adorable too. The wifi worked well, can support video calls so recommended for working travelers as well. It's not so easy to observe their house from the road but following her directions we had no problems finding it. Parking is available in front of the house. I would definitely recommend this place.

It was a pleasure staying with Susann's family. Wonderful cosy studio in a calm area, surrounded by plants, trees, veges, chickens and wild life. Super relaxed atmosphere and we had great and interesting conversations. We fully recommended anyone to stay with these lovely people. We would definitely stay again. All the best guys! :)

Near to Byron bay, this huge room is so amazing, very quiet, nature and beautiful place. The family is very welcoming and very nice ! They give us everything to have a perfect time in Wardell ! Thank you so much for everything :) !

I loved my overnight stay with Susann and her family. The garden room for guests with en-suite bathroom is rustic, totally private and blissfully quiet - just perfect and had all I needed. I enjoyed chatting to Susann and playing a bit with her children. She put a warm freshly-baked blueberry pastry in my hand as I left in the morning, which was wonderful! I wouldn't hesitate to stay with her again.

Loved our quick stay at Susann's place. The studio was so inviting and the bed was really comfy. It was beautiful waking to the sights and sounds of nature right out the windows. Our little boys also loved seeing the chickens and having friends to play with. Would definitely stay again next time we are driving through!

Lovely private cabin and lovely hosts! A great way to feel at home with nature.

Slightly off the beaten track you will find Susann's place - a chance to connect with nature. It is basic, but that adds to the charm. With 2 small children nearby you may not get complete silence, however Susann and her family were very friendly and accommodating. Would only have been better if we'd seen a koala!!

We had a great stay in this beautiful little cottage on the hills. It was only for a night but it was quiet and beautiful

Natalie and Ryan have provided a simple but comfortable place to stay. It was wonderful to stay in the country and see the stars and full moon and hear thousands of birds calling one another in the morning. The beds are comfy, kitchen well equipped and there are plenty of towels. The filtered rainwater is divine. We humans loved it again and so did our doggies.

Ryan and Natalie have s brand new unit to stay in. We loved that Natalie welcomed us and made us feel relaxed about being in her beautiful environment. We have pets and it was good to stay in a place where they were as excited to be as we were. Natalie and Ryan gave us our privacy and it was appreciated. We woke up to the sound of birds and cows and looked out at the rural vista that flowed away to the sea. Gorgeous.

Beautiful, peaceful location, with lovely accommodation and amazing views. Ryan and Natalie were very helpful and obliging, and easy to communicate with. Would very happily stay here again if we are in the area. We loved our stay!

Cozy, modern, nice and clean cabin situated on the top of a plateau. It is so secluded that we saw milky way last night.

A great place to be. The space here is quiet and peaceful.

We stood for one night and had everything we could ask for. Good and clean house and nice people

Was perfect, such a nice place to relax. Could not think of a better set up.

Aaron ist ein großartiger Gastgeber! Alles entsprach den Angaben und Erwartungen und wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Daumen hoch!

Arron's house is quite, clean and comfortable our Arron is friendly. The location is convenient and quite..

Great to spend 3 days in Aaron's house. He was an awesome host, felt like at home from minute 1! Single bed on spacious comfortable room, you get your own bathroom; got to use kitchen, pool, paddle board (canal just 30m away) and even table games :) Hope to go by soon again to stay there!

Aaron's place was a great place to be! Even though the house didn't offer us all the facilities listed on Airbnb, the place is spacious and the river view is definitely a great and beautiful spot. The place if perfect for doing stand-up paddle and my partner and I had a lot of fun. Aaron was a friendly and helpful host!

Great host, friendly and chatty- even shared a beer with us. The house is amazingly tidy and clean. We enjoyed the Nespresso capsules and the standup paddle boarding. Good location and a great stay.

Easy location to find and comfortable accommodation. Host is cruisy and helpful.

Aaron's place is in a really good location next to the water. It is quiet and close to the local shops. His home is comfortable and spacious. The only negative is the size of the single bed which is fine if you're not 185cm like me.

We had a very pleasant one night stay. Spent the afternoon out on the river using their paddle board then eating dinner. Bathroom and bedroom were both perfect for our needs. Aaron was very friendly and welcoming, serving coffee on arrival

Belinda refunded my stay as I wasn't able to make it through the floodwater on the Gold Coast, (from Cyclone Debbie), down to hers. She was very accomadating and communicative, even offering her place for a few days after if we were able to make it down. She sounds lovely and so does her place. We will stay there in the future if we can:)

Accommodation was fantastic, location is simply beautiful and the host is lovely - would recommend to anyone

Our family had a wonderful night at Belinda's. She is so welcoming and gives you your privacy also. The little touches like Turkish bread, butter and wifi are wonderful. Comfortable beds with heaps of room. Loved that she was pet friendly. We look forward to returning.

What a wonderful retreat for us and our family on a long drive home. Belinda provided everything and more that we could have needed and we will most definetely be back. Peaceful, comfortable, affordable and so flexible with our arrangements. Loved the surroundings and loved Charlie the resident pooch!

How lucky was my family!!!! We were going to Townsville from Melbourne. We were very tired and quite late as that time. Bel was nice and kind to welcome my family. The house was very hotely nice and clean. Internet wifi was very speedy. All of this house was very good!! If I trveled again. I'd like to stay some more day. Thank you Bel!!

We stayed at Belinda's place on our way to Byron Bay's Bluesfest. The cabin is as described, spacious, clean and well furnished. The location is very quiet and relaxing. Belinda was an excellent host, warm and friendly. We highly recommend the place and will definitely stay there again when travelling in the region.

Loved our stay with Bel! The house is in a very scenic, beautiful location. Very clean space and comfortable beds as well.

Lovely decor, high ceilings, spacious. Very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks Belinda :-)

Recently stayed at Paul & Dorothea's for Easter in Ballina. It was my first time using air BNB and it was such a positive experience. Richard was so fantastic to communicate via email.Check in/out was so straight forward. Beautiful property with everything you need, it is so well equipped, parking also available for 1 car.Stunning location on the riverside. It is so near Byron by car and the airport in Ballina.The neighbours were lovely and we had a nice chat while we sat on the deck while they were fishing! Would highly recommend this property and I would love to return myself if in the area again.

very good

Paul and Dorothea's place is even better than the photos suggest. We loved the front porch overlooking the water. The kitchen had everything and the beds were comfortable. Access was easy for arriving at night. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

Richard was very welcoming and most helpful with all the accommodation. The place was very well presented and the actual location was stunning. Overall an excellent weekend in Ballina.

We had a great stay at Villa Riveria. The view is amazing, and being able to travel with our two fur-babies made the experience so much better. We will definitely book to stay again!

Love the view love the villa...will definitely return..

A lovely home away from home with quality furnishings and comfy beds. "How's the serenity" was the catchphrase of the weekend. Highly recommend anytime.

Basic, clean, ground floor apartment with surrounding blocks on either side. The apartment was very hot and humid in the middle of summer with no sea breeze or fans to help cool self down throughout the day and night making the stay uncomfortable. Kitchen missing a few basic utensils. Must have vehicle to drive to beaches and grocery store.

Jane gave us very useful information and made us felt very welcome when we arrived. The apartment was clean and tidy. The neighbours were quiet and friendly. The Richmond river was a few steps to the backyard for kayaking and fishing. Our boat found the best access to the water under windy condition was via the canal ramp which was only two minutes away. Jane generously let us use her herb garden and kayaks, which were great bonus to our trip. Our 4WD and boat found easy street parking. Major shopping was only a few minutes away. All these added up to made us felt comfortable and convenient during our stay.

Jane was friendly and efficient. Little touches around the house were extra effort and so appreciated. We used the kayaks to explore the local waterways. Jane left us useful practical suggestions of things to see and do around the area which were all spot on. Apartment is lovely and clean. Perfect base for a coastal holiday

My friends and I had a great stay. The apartment is centrally located so it's very easy getting out and about. The balcony overlooks the pool which is lovely - we swam everyday! And is also right next to the river. We had a great stay, everything was easy. When we arrived there was a welcome basket and a few key essentials to get us started. Also plenty of towel which is always great.

Wendy was most welcoming and she met us in the lobby upon our arrival and spent time with us showing us everything we needed to know about the apartment and the surrounding area. She very kindly prepared a welcoming basket for our use....Wendy was a delight to deal with and certainly wants to make sure you are comfortable and encourages you to contact her if you need help or have a question....

Perfect place rent it!

Wendy's apartment in Ballina was an absolute dream! The apartment itself is modern, luxurious, spacious and Wendy really has thought of everything to welcome you into your stay very smoothly. As a host, Wendy was incredibly warm and communicative and covered all bases to make moving around the area and the apartment very easy. I stayed down for Bluesfest and found the location so ideal for the shuttle bus and local ammentities - Woolworths is at your doorstep as are a number of restaurants and stores. I would definitely stay here again if I revisited Ballina. Thanks Wendy!

Wendy is an amazing host! She was super helpful with details and suggestions. I couldn't have asked for a better host! The suite was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The neighbourhood had a little bit of everything and Ballina was a great place to stay. I was able to get internet for a great price at the front desk, so don't let that be your roadblock. Hope to come back and stay again some day!

We had a lovely stay. Wendy was very thoughtful providing things like chocolates, juice and other extras. She was very welcoming. It's a great place. Zita

We had a wonderful stay at Wendy's apartment. It was luxurious, immaculately clean and close to all the best cafes, restaurants and walks in Ballina. BBQ dinners out on the balcony at dusk were a treat. Wendy meeting us in person was much appreciated. We are already thinking about when we can come back!

Wendy messaged us in preparation for a smooth arrival and met us at the front door, showing us through the Apartment and facilities within the complex. Wendy was very friendly and maintained communication with a 24 hour follow up to ensure our stay was relaxing and enjoyable. The apartment is perfectly located and comfortable. Thanks Wendy for your hospitality.

Our stay in Ballina was short but most comfortable. Our host was extremely friendly and helpful. The accommodation was lovely and very clean. Would definitely stay there again. Jo & Jessy.

Great location; this was a perfect place to stay for our weekend stopover. The cottage is just one block from shops and was very clean and tidy. Good and clear communication from our host. I'd happily stay again.

Quaint, quiet and lovely house! This was our first Air BnB experience and it couldn't have been better!

Edwina's heart of Ballina was perfect. Clean, spacious, close to everything and all with a beautiful cottage garden. Edwina was very helpful with all the information about house and surrounds.

Thank you for our lovely stay at Heart of Ballina. The house here is delightful with plenty of space and a pleasant garden. It's just a very short walk to town and to the beach. We hope to come back and stay again. Simon.

What a beautiful house, right in the centre of town and very well appointed. It is very comfortable and so spacious! We spent 5 days/nights here and only wish we could have stayed longer. Our dog was with us and she loved it too. The garden was safe so we could leave the doors open to get the breeze from the river. Thank you for everything! It was perfect!

Our host communicated with us by email promptly. She was very accommodating in her respond to our special requests. The accommodation presented beautifully.

'Heart of Ballina' is a beautiful, timber cottage, a taste of an older world and very charming. I really enjoyed staying there.

Very convenient & comfortable apartment. Highly recommend to anyone travelling to Ballina.

I loved Greg and Diane's place. It's so open and light, great size, it's a great little home away from home!

Very nice property. but due to weather conditions very hot.

Greg and Dianne were very welcoming and helpful. They provided us with everything we could need and we wouldn't hesitate to stay with them again.

Greg and Di are excellent hosts, making me feel very comfortable. Unit is self contained, clean and comfortable

Really lovely little getaway unit, loved having the outdoor deck and area of our own so that my boy could play there and the lovely hosts let him water the plants with the host which obviously was a great success. Having your own entrance and keys to the place, short walk around the block to shops and Greg helped me with all my bags when I gt here as well as showing me the ropes.Throughout the place is beautiful flowers making it look very welcoming. They even offered me a glass of bubbles later that night! They have been very accommodating and lovely in every way, I would highly recommend staying here to anyone. Its a beautiful area.

Great location and friendly hosts. Comfy bed and nice thick cotton sheets. Although self contained, the property shares a common wall with the owners home, only separated by a latched sliding door. It's ok if you don't mind hearing a bit of opera and smelling dinner cooking. As for local amenities, the main street is around the corner and I highly recommend the Hardwood Cafe.

Lovely warm welcome and Christine is very helpful. Apartment has wonderful views, room is very comfortable and it was a great place to stay while I was in town. Many thanks again. Kind regards. Jillx

Staying with Christine is always fabulous. Her house is comfy, cosy and welcoming. I'd recommend it to anyone needing a room to stay in.

Christine was very hospitable and thorough in her explanation of the use of her unit, and lovely to chat to over a cup of tea before bed. She even made me a beautiful fruit bowl in the morning. The unit is very clean, tidy and welcoming with beautiful rosellas coming to say hello on the balcony in the morning. Lovely place for an overnight stay in Ballina.

Thank you Christine for your hospitality. I was made to feel very welcome and very comfortable. Beautiful home in an equally beautiful little town. Very close to all the action. Julie.

Such a lovely host for my first trip using airbnb. Christine's home is very clean and interestingly decorated. I would highly recommend her to any women travelling solo.

Was perfect for me, close to tafe and town. Christine was very accommodating and a friendly host. Coffee and fruit in the morning added to the homely feel of Christine's lovely place!

Christine was an amazing host - even providing airport transfer services for a small additional cost. She took the time to show me around the neighbourhood and was very welcoming and hospitable.

Great host, great location , great experience.

Riverleigh is a beautiful and amazing house. Every room is perfect with their own cute theme. The owners are wonderful and very helpful. Would recommend Riverleigh for both a single room stay or the entire house.

Martin was very welcoming and his place the perfect hideaway after a day of exploring the local Thursday Plantation Farm, Visitor Centre and Production Facility. Martins place is beautifully decorated with lots of charm and has all the amenities needed. Its been wonderful to have had the opportunity to meet Martin & his wife, than you for your kind hospitality.

A beautiful home with such character! We had a lovely time staying here; superb location, very clean and super friendly hosts that made me feel welcome even before I stepped foot into the house. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

We booked out the whole guesthouse for a family holiday -- it was easily the best such accommodation we've ever booked. Just perfect. Even the hard-to-impress middle-daugter said, 'This place is amazing'. Enough said.
