A very nice and quiet stay, perfect for a nice quick getaway.

Stayed for the long weekend and had everything we needed. Comfy bed, nice modern bathroom and a cosy living room with tv and games to keep us entertained. I mentioned that it was a birthday get away and Jo even went through the trouble of decorating the living room and providing a little basket of goodies. Supper quiet and clean neighbourhood so getting sleep was no issue. Jo's knowledge of the area is excellent offering great tips on what to see and do whilst staying there. Recommend this to anyone looking for a weekend away. Ten out of ten, would stay again.

It was clean and roomy. Lovely area n close enough to Byron Bay and other areas to visit.

This was the perfect place for our romantic week getaway. We stayed here for 4 nights while we explored Ballina, Lennox Head and Byron Bay. It was close to Balllina shops however far enough away that you felt that you are in a secluded area. This place is relaxing, close to everything (drives distance or bus), there is everything you need for your stay - kitchen facilities, small BBQ, dining/TV area, washing machine, outdoor setting, board games and an amazing view. Jo was a great host giving us lots of privacy but also offering her help if we needed anything at all. Highly recommend this to everyone :)

Thanks for your warmth welcome, the house had everything we needed, we all were very happy to stay in your house, quiet, clean and tidy. We would love to stay again in your place in our next trip and recommend to our friends. Thanks and all the best. Isaac

Ideal for a quiet getaway, well equipped and well priced.

Very nice and clean with a nice view of rolling hills

Jo is a great host! The place is clean and quiet-although when we were staying, there was some earth work starting from 7am, it does not bother us and Jo has communicated with us before check-in. Jo prepared home grown passion fruit, lemon, lime, milk, local coffee, oats, chocolates, flowers from the garden..... Anything we need for a holiday:)

We stayed with Anne and Laurie for (unfortunately only) one night. We loved the roomes and hospitality from both. We felt very welcome and enjoyes our stay in that beautiful region. Thank you very much!!!

Anne and Laurie are great hosts! Their place is beautiful and peaceful with a great scenery that you can enjoy while having the abundant breakfast that they offer. They have 2 lovely dogs that were very friendly to our dog.

Anne and Laurie are lovely down to earth honest people and great hosts. The house is in a great spot, clean and well presented. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended.

We were a party of 6 with 2 couples and 2 single bachelors. There were ample room space - 2 bedroom for the 2 couples (1 was an ensuite) and 2 bachelors had a room each (one was an ensuite). Anne was extremely hospitable and it was our privilege to meet her and her ever jovial husband, Laurie. It was easy and fuss free when I made my booking with Anne and also checking in. She was very informative - providing us with directions and also suggestions on food and places to go. Enjoyed her life story on her work with the Tiwis. Definitely a lovely change from the usual accommodation (hotels). No regrets for staying in Beautiful Ballina instead of Byron Bay thanks to Anne and Laurie, not forgetting Millie and Justin! :)

Clean and very comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms. Anne and Laurie are excellent hosts; engaging and knowledgeable about the local area.

Anne is the perfect host, warm & welcoming, and you feel like you are at home the minute you arrive.

Wonderful, comfortable accommodation in the hosts own home. Great facilities and made to feel welcome. Beautiful people. Can highly recommended this place.

Beautiful place to live, Anne and Laurie are very nice, Laurie even gave us their homemade jam as a gift, it is very delicious and we love it. Thanks, Anne and Laurie

The cottage was warm, inviting and beautifully decorated with a country home vibe. This made it a great place to come back to and relax after exploring the surrounding Northern Rivers area during the day. Gaile and Mark were exceptionally welcoming, and very attentive to our needs. Their numerous recommendations for local eateries and activities helped us find some of the lesser known treasures of the area that might normally be overlooked. Combine this with fresh vegetables from their garden, farm tour of the property and overall friendly demeanor, Gaile and Mark made ours the perfect stay.

Gaile is a wonderful host - very friendly, well prepared - we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. The photo's of the cottage depict accurately the accommodation. A homely, creatively decorated and comfortable place to enjoy a few days break. It is wonderfully quiet and easy access to both Ballina and Lennox heads. We had a very refreshing break and enjoyed the sense of somewhere away from the hustle and bustle. We even got invited to a free yoga class - which we all participated in - (at the Lennox Heads lakeside). It was a great way to start our break.

Gaile was an incredible host and has an absolutely stunning property which was beyond perfect for our stay! Gaile was unbelievably accommodating and made sure we had thing we needed for our stay and well and truly went above and beyond the call of duty to my sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable! Thank you so so much Gaile for making our stay perfect! We look forward to coming back!

Gaile and her family were so welcoming during our stay. My friends and I loved being introduced to the cows, horses, dogs and alpacas on Gaile's property. We also loved the cottage itself. It's absolutely stunning - by far the most well decorated space I've ever stayed in. Everything you could need is right in the cottage, or just a short walk away - I loved being able to pick ingredients from Gaile's garden to cook with. The location of the property is great, too. You're only a short drive away from so many beautiful beaches. Definitely would recommend the Fig Tree Cottage to anyone looking to stay in the area. :)

We loved the location which is in the hills above ballina. Beautiful green and peaceful location with remnants of an ancient forest, many fruit trees and and giant jacarandas. The house is 130 years old and beautifully maintained with lovely wooden floor boards, antiques, high quality bed linen and extremely comfortable mattresses. Its a little piece of paradise yet close to the other hinterland towns, cafes , restaursntsvand markets as well as rivers and beaches. Our beaming host clearly loves living there and made us very welcome. I especially loved being introduced to the chooks, the lamas and the Scottish cattle who all have names and are clearly well cared for and happy. It's such a gorgeous and peaceful place. I was really sorry we didn't have more time to spend there.

Very nice and cosy environment, perfect if you want to relax for the we. You can even have a visit of the farm with Gaile!

Gaile and her family were warm and welcoming and made us feel special from the moment we arrived. Gaile had set out roses, a card and chocolates for my birthday and it was the thoughtful extra things she did that made it such a wonderful weekend away. My kids loved feeding the animals, collecting the eggs from the chickens and taking cuttings from the vege garden! All the things they miss as children growing up in the city. Thanks Gaile, Lara and family... We will be back :)

Thank you Gaile for a wonderful stay. You made us feel so welcome and at home, and the kids loved all your attention with regard to feeding the animals. Hope to see you again soon.

Our host made us feel comfortable The suite has no door to it, reducing privacy

The rooms were lovely, just as described .A quiet residential neighbourhood but still close to Ballina and Lennox.

Brigit's place was very spacious and clean, we had plenty of room for 2 adults, a toddler and our little dog. Brigit was easy to communicate with and flexible. Her house is a 15mins drive from Lennox Head main street. We would highly recommend!

Brigit was helpful and friendly. Her house is beautiful and the guest suite is well-equipped with a comfortable bed, own bathroom, dining area and balcony with great view. We enjoyed exploring Lennox and Ballina which are both close by and doing a picturesque walk from her place into the rainforest.

Unfortunately, we did not find this accommodation to be pet-friendly. There was no way to prevent our dog from entering the main house as there was no door separating the guest area from the main house, so our dog immediately sought to explore the house (as dogs do) and was unhappy when we put a leash on him to try to prevent him from being in the main house (where there were other dogs). Due to the other dogs in the house, our dog was only there for about three minutes before marking his territory by peeing on Brigit's beautiful rug, which made me feel terrible (Brigit was lovely and very kind about this, but it didn't make for a relaxing start to the holiday). The guest bedroom and sitting room were both carpeted, which our dog is unused to - I was so worried that he would mark the carpet and that we would be unable to prevent him from continually accessing the other areas of the house (thereby ruining any hope of privacy for both us and Brigit) that we made the difficult decision to cancel our stay and head back to Brisbane, leaving us super disappointed and out of pocket. I have no hard feelings towards Brigit for this situation - she was lovely, accommodating, understanding and clearly loves pets. The house itself is gorgeous and in a beautiful area. I believe that we are largely to blame for not making further enquiries - but when we read dog-friendly and private, we had not envisaged carpeted floors, and we certainly had not envisaged our dog being able to access the whole of the house. Had we known either of these things, we would have selected other accommodation. I think these things should be specified in the lisiting description.

Brigit is a warm and welcoming host. We were especially grateful our dog Trumby was so welcome. Thank you Brigit!

Had a lovely stay here. Beautiful view to wake up to and a nice comfortable setting. Brigit was very very friendly and helped us out when we needed it (:

Brigit made us very welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house and location are beautiful. We enjoyed our breakfast in the sun on the balcony overlooking the surrounding valley.

Margurete is a wonderful host. The studio is relaxing and luxurious. Peaceful sitting near the water watching the wildlife. Will definitely recommend staying here and we will when next in Ballina :-)

Many thanks Margurete for sharing your beautiful studio. Our stay was very comfortable and welcoming. Your place felt just like home, we appreciated all the finer details, the place was exceptionally clean, and whatever we needed we were able to find within the studio. By far the best place we have ever stayed whilst on holiday. We hope to stay there again next time we are in town.Thank you

Brilliant! What a fab place. Lovely host, and a clean, new and very well equipped large studio. Lacked for nothing whatsoever. Not far to Byron, if that's why you're here and a very calm pond outside the door if you're not. 10/10 from us.

A very well kitted out pad. Breakfast provided was great. Very welcoming.

The studio was clean on arrival, there were lots of extras, also some welcoming gifts in the fridge. Very comfortable, and quiet. Inside has everything you need and of good quality & nicely decorated. Margurete was friendly, and easy to communicate with.

This was an incredible studio, welcoming and homey. Margurete was a great host who had gone above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect! Only downfall was not having more time to stay longer. Couldn't recommend high enough!

Margurete's place was lovely, it was clean and well-presented, and Margurete was an incredibly thoughtful host. She provided lots of little extras, from fresh berries and milk in the fridge, to toiletries and even some bread to feed the resident ducks and pelicans. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Margurete went above and beyond for my parents during their stay. Highly recommend her place - modern, clean and comfortable. Plus the scenery and location is amazing.

The only problem we had at Liz's place was that we only stayed for a night. Liz was so friendly and helpful! She went beyond her way to make sure we were comfortable. We were so thankful because she even picked/dropped us of to and from the airport. Upon arriving, she offered us tea and hot cross buns to settle down. Since it was Good Friday, with most of the stores being close she was kind enough to drive us to the nearest store that was trading that day. Her generosity didn't stop there, after settling down she drove us around town. Liz's place was immaculate and comfortable and well equipped with everything you may need. It is also near a lake and if you take a short walk you'll find an open area with a bench that overlooks the lake. If we ever find ourselves in Ballina, we definitely will choose to come back! I'm

The house and room are clean. The bed is comfy! It's in a quiet area so we enjoy so much during the stay. There are many choices for breakfast and they are awesome! Definitely recommend to stay here!!

Super host in every possible way. Loved the room, welcome snacks, breakfast and and and.... Elizabeth is a gem and we would love to stay with her again if the opportunity arises. We use AirBnB extensively and Elizabeth is a great ambassador and wonderful example of why we love AirBnb.

Liz was one of the loveliest people I have ever met! She was very welcoming, flexible, organised and friendly. We were extremely comfortable and provided with free Wifi, towels, spare keys and a beautiful breakfast every morning. My partner and I were on quite the budget and this was beyond anything we expected. Thank you to Liz, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Jess and myself had a really great stay with Liz. We'd planned to camp but the weather had a nasty turn so we messaged Liz late in the day, with fingers crossed that she wouldn't mind a late booking. Being the lovely woman she is, she accepted our booking. We arrived in the evening to tea and super delicious scones. We chatted and had a really interesting conversation with Liz. As for the room, it was perfect! Comfy, clean, clean bathroom and quiet meaning a great nights sleep. I really couldn't recommend this place more highly. It's a great location if your planning on visiting Byron Bay but don't want to pay the ridiculously inflated prices there. I really do wish we could have stayed longer and enjoyed Liz' company for longer.

We arrived and got to rest for an hour and a half or so then Kerry allowed us to go with her and feed the horses, and that was the highlight of my four year old's trip. I think he'll be talking about it for months to come! We also got to pick up some macadamia nuts from the ground which was fun. Beds were comfortable and lots of space for us, overall it was a great stay. Thank you, hopefully we'll be able to come back!

Very comfortable, the host provided a lot of groceries which was appreciated and made us feel at home. My husband loved the books and the kids loved the toys. The dog was happy to.

Had a lovely time, Kerry and David and wonderful hosts. The landscape is stunning and the accommodation was great. Clean, comfortable with air con and basic kitchen necessities. The nearby beaches are fantastic, Lennox is beautiful, not far to Byron also, highly recommend it, will be back. Laura

Kerry was waiting on the porch and she immediately invited the girls to go feed the horses. The apartment is large, fairly well equipped kitchen.

We had a wonderful stay at Kerry's cottage, set in a quiet rural area with lush green surrounds, it is instantly relaxing. The cottage is comfortable and Kerry an attentive host. We especially enjoyed being introduced to the horses and the special work they do.

Our stay with Kerry was great!! She is a very welcoming and friendly person who made our stay very comfortable and we would not hesitate to visit her again. We knew we were headed to a special place when passing through the 'tunnel of trees'! Her place is quite peaceful and it feels like you have entered another world - yet only several minutes from the town centre. She gave us a tour around her property including feeding the horses - the kids loved it! Thank you for our stay there Kerry :)

A lovely rural property. Quiet, with macadamia nuts to crack open. Nice little separate accommodation area. Some thoughtful touches.

Kerry was a wonderfully welcoming host. Her cottage was spacious and well stocked with everything we could have needed. We loved staying on the property - particularly learning all about her incredible work. She was also very generous with her time and showed us around as well as introducing us to her lovely horses and ponies. Our group of four 20-somethings were fighting over who got the room with the glow in the dark stars - we had a fantastic time and we would highly recommend staying with Kerry!

Steven's place is great! It's very clean, very safe, and close to many beaches. It's super close to the airport and a quick 25 minute drive to Byron. It was a quiet and nice stay - I highly recommend it!

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!

Aaron is a great host! All met the specifications and expectations and we would come back at any time. Thumbs up!

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

This was my first Airbnb experience and it really was great. Anne and Laurie are a very welcoming and accommodating team. Lovely clean, fresh room, lots of space and a handy location. So nice to meet lovely interesting people and will happily stay with them again. oh and love the welcoming animals too!

This is my second time staying with Anne and her husband. They are such genuine, welcoming and friendly people, it is a pleasure to stay...and so very interesting to talk to about all their adventures and experiences in life! The rooms are very comfortable with ensuite bathroom and all you need! A great place to stay, on acreage just a few minutes out of the town centre.

We had a great stay with Anne and her husband. They were very friendly and easy to talk to. It was a nice and clean room and we had our own bathroom. Its about 30 min drive from Byron Bay and 5 min from Ballina. If you are looking for a great Australian experience this is the place to stay.

I loved staying at Anne's place. I had private access to my room, my own bathroom, television and the bed was super comfortable. Anne is a lovely lady and I recommend this accommodation to any traveller.

Highly recommend Anne was a wonderful host, very friendly.

Anne and Laurie are such a friendly, approachable and helpful couple who really made us feel at home. Their house is easy to locate just off the motorway, surrounded by a gorgeous gardens and beautiful morning birdsong. We loved that our rooms had private access and ensuites and that breakfast was provided. It was lovely to meet you both. Thank you for an enjoyable stay :-)

I was made to feel very welcome and the room was excellent . The only downside was that I had to get straight back on the road so couldn't fully enjoy it.....thanks Anne

Wonderful host. Anne & Laurie were very warm and inviting, always willing to assist where necessary. The room was very comfortable and clean, in fact I had one of the best sleeps I'd had for a while. They were comforting in their friendliness without interfering. It felt like I had popped in to see my parents. I would definitely recommend a stay with them, the experience and stories they shared with me filled me with love and strength. Thank You Very Much.

Extremely good value for money. Lovely spacious new home. All you would want for enjoyable holiday on the North Coast

Great place to relax, resort like with the pool and quiet neighborhood.

Excellent family home with lots of space and a beautiful pool. Totally recommend

We had a lovely stay for 8 nights while visiting the Bluesfest in Byron Bay. Our host Lanie and Simon were very helpful and accommodating. The house suited our needs perfectly and we loved the pool and spa. It was a great place to stay.

We thoroughly enjoy the stay an would definitely re visit

The host canceled this reservation 31 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had a great stay at Alinta's place. The house was very Clean and tidy and Alinta was a wonderful host. We booked the room late in the Evening but this was no problem at all. The communication with Alinta was perfect. Recommended!

We had a wonderful stay. The house was Clean and tidy, the room was spacious and comfortable. We booked the room last minute and this was No problem for Alinta. She replied very quick and was a wonderful host.

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.

The host canceled this reservation 48 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

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.

Awesome views. Clean comfortable and affordable accommodation. Attentive host who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable.

Gary and his wife were lovely and so attentive to our needs that they even chopped up firewood for our little campfire both nights of our stay. The camper van had every little luxury you can think of, we weren't left wishing for anything because Gary and his wife had thought of it! Stunning view of the sunrise over the beach and valley from our comfy bed, hot shower, clean towels provided, quiet, a few minutes drive to my new favourite beach - Lennox Head. We will be back!

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.

A great place to stay You will be welcomed and made to feel at home. The house is immaculate and the grounds are a gardeners delight. We know that everyone who stays here will not be disappointed

Absolutely beautiful location and home. Hosts were relaxed, welcoming and extremely generous. We had an amazing trip!

Great place for a family. Relatively close to Byron Bay beach

Very well appointed, spacious and comfortable house. Fitted our adult family of 5 easily with room to spare. Loved the view of the extensive gardens from the living area with scenic rural outlook of fields with guinea fowl, cows, horses and macadamia nut trees. We visited the idyllic local waterfall and watched some movies on Netflix. Easy 10 - 15 min access to the beach and tea tree lake at Lennox Head by private car.

Amazing place with amazing hosts!!! The location is perfect: enjoy pastural views out of your windows, yet just a short drive to beaches, waterfalls, shops and local farmer markets. If you have kids, then Macadamia Castle and Thursday Planation are few minutes away - great entertainment for all. Accomodation is spacious, clean and fully equipped: it feels like your home away from home with all luxuries you need. This place is by far the best value for money in the area! THANK YOU !!!

Beautiful home, and surroundings! Jane,Andrew and Amelie are very welcoming and accomodating! Will definitely be back soon! Thank you xx

Jane's cottage is a great destination if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway.

Jane's property was beautiful and spacious. We had 8 adults staying at the house comfortably. The outlook was stunning. All in all a really lovely night away.
