Sarah-Ania is the loveliest of hosts. We arrived to find delicious muffins , rolls and fruit and a comfortable apartment in a luxurious environment. I loved the bird life and was thrilled to see an Azure Kingfisher at our door. We would like to come again if the opportunity arises.

We had a great stay at Sarah-Ania's and can happily recommend her as a host. The drive to her house and the surroundings are beautiful and the macadamia nuts from the trees were very nice. Highly recommend

We booked at the last moment but unfortunately did not get to stay due to internet problems. Sarah-Ania was most gracious and personable and the problems were rectified professionally. If we are ever in the area again would love to come and stay.

You must give this location a try. It is a perfect alternative to the hussle and bussle of Byron Bay. Yet it is an easy and scenic 25 minute drive to Byron and surrounds. So you get the best of both worlds. The hinterland setting is breathtaking. The property is just so picturesque. Accommodation is perfect with everything you could want, clean, fresh and welcoming. Delicious croissants and fruit for breakfast on our first morning! Rob was our host and he was very welcoming and just a lovely bloke. The nightly rate could not be bettered and is surprisingly low for what you get. Some lovely little villages nearby with lots of cafes, restaurants and country style shops and larger supermarkets. Easily accommodates four. You will not regret your stay and in fact will wish you had discovered it earlier. You will think you have

I booked this accommodation for my family to stay in whilst they were up visiting me, the host was lovely and I know they loved it so much they have already re booked for their next visit

Sarah's has out done her self with giving you a warm welcome. She had scones & some basic breakfast needs in the fridge for your connivence which was very thoughtful. So thank you. The unit was well equipped, clean and super private. We enjoyed our stay very much. Service / wifi here was near to nothing which was a shame & was a little bit of a drive to Byron approx 35mins. In saying that tho the drive was beautiful and had spectacular views.

Sarah-Ania was such a lovely host. She was quick to respond to our booking, provided detailed descriptions on how to get there, and the place was beautifully set up for our arrival. She takes the time to add the little special touches that made our stay even better such as a basket of homemade goodies delivered to our door. We stayed three nights with our little 6 month old and we were very comfortable. The scenery outside is amazing, with breath-taking landscape and views. We would highly recommend this stay if you are looking to escape the city and explore the Byron Hinterlands! Thanks Sarah-Ania!

A lovely place :)

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

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.

We had a wonderful stay! We particular enjoyed all the wildlife just outside the door - ducks, water dragons, and the resident pelican! There were many small but thoughtful touches which made our stay very comfortable and relaxing. Margurete is an extremely friendly and accomodating host.

We loved staying here. It was a great experience, so clean and so comfortable. Margurete is friendly and we really appreciated all the extras she so thoughtfully provides. The accommodation shows her attention to detail well. Highly recommended.

Margurete has an excellent, well located and self-contained studio that was perfect for the month I spent in Ballina on a work placement. It was peaceful and spacious, and was in a great location next to the water and only a short trip to the shops. The studio was clean and tidy and on arrival Margurete had provided cooking items and some food. The WiFi connection and internet were perfect for me to get work done over the month, and the air-con added an extra level of comfort. Margurete was a lovely and welcoming host who was very helpful and really contributed to a relaxed and enjoyable stay in Ballina. I highly recommend Margurete’s studio and will definitely be returning at some point in the future.

Margurete has put a lot of thought into making her immaculate riverside studio apartment superbly equipped for a relaxing break or a longer stay. Beautiful setting and a marvellously comfortable bed. Many thanks!

The studio was absolutely perfect, the bed and sheets were divine, the style of the room was homely and Margurete's hospitality was incredible- going above and beyond. We can not fault anything during our stay and we absolutely look forward to an opportunity to stay again.

I stayed at Marguete's lovely apartment for a week whilst working in the area. It was perfect for my stay with an incredibly comfortable bed and pillows, with gorgeous linen. Well equiped kitchen with some food basics like fruit, muesli, milk, water and fruit juice in the standard size fridge. I also had plenty of quality items to cook a meal each night. It was very private, quiet, extremely clean and very comfortable. Close to the town, and best of all was the lake and garden. I highly recommend Margurete's place for all of the above reason, both for a holiday and for business. Thanks Margurete.....I had a wonderful stay and hope to again in the future.

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 had a lovely little studio that my husband and I stayed in on our recent trip to Ballina. There were lots of little extras that we really appreciated such as, bottled water, fresh fruit, homemade biscuits, shampoo/conditioner, a selection of muesli...I could go on! We really enjoyed the peace and quite and DVD collection. The studio was very clean, tidy and homely (air con was also a much appreciated bonus). Margurete's communication was timely and welcoming. Thank you so much.

I have been to many Airbnb accomdation but Deanne's place is the most beautiful place I have ever seen: both for the house itself as for its location. I couldn't get enough of the green surroundings, the beautiful skies, the wallabies jumping around in the garden and the jungle sounds at sunset. The house is also very comfortable and equipped with everything you need to make your stay (even on a rainy day) lovely. I can't wait to come back.

Deanne was pleasant to deal with & super attentive to our needs. She went out of her way to make sure a lovely breakfast was provided & the cottage was super clean & tidy, just per the photos. I would not hesitate to recommend her place to a friend.

We had a lovely stay in Clunes - the house is beautiful and the food provided is amazing. We stayed there as a base for going to Byron Bay but we ended up exploring the country a fair bit. The surroundings were really nice - we saw a koala on the last day! Deanne was friendly and helpful when we had questions or concerns.

Deanne and Richard were lovely hosts. On our first day there, we witnessed Richard rescue a koala and for someone like myself who has never seen a koala in the wild, to see this happen was just extraordinary! Their place is a true oasis and a playground for the wildlife. We saw flying foxes at night, all kinds of birds, wallabies, and all sorts of varying insects -- all great for me in doing photography there. Deanne and Richard were very kind, welcoming, informative, and always asking how we were doing and if there was anything they could do to make our stay better. We had great chats with them about various places around Clunes, the wildlife, etc. We were really sad to leave and fully enjoyed being there!! The bed was extremely comfortable with luxurious bedding and most comfortable King sized bed, the kitchen was well stocked with plenty of space to cook, and the heaters provided kept us warm and cozy. They also had an array of DVDs if we wanted to watch some TV. They've got a very special place and I would wholeheartedly recommend their special oasis to anyone.

Well appointed small cottage ideal for 2 in idyllic rural surrounds. Everything you need is provided and a wonderful comfortable bed too! Hosts are friendly, helpful and not intrusive at all. Chooks and peacock a bonus!

Definitely bigger than expected, everything was perfect including the location and that was definitely a very very comfortable bed, thanks again for everything, loved the Timtams haha Ella & Liam

5 star comfort, 5 star hospitality, conveniently located to Byron, Bangalow and Clunes. Deanne and Richard provide a little piece of paradise, complete with koalas, that is really hard to leave. I had a wonderful stay and I look forward to coming back.

I had an amazing experience and I would recommend this place 100%

Dawn and Neil were fantastic hosts. They were very knowledgable of the area and willing to offer advice. The space was exactly as described and the view was better. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Dawn & Neil were the perfect hosts. Byron Hidden Treasure was definitely a peaceful re'treat' in a magical part of the world! Dawn & Neil thought of everything - champagne, muesli, coffee machine, extremely comfortable beds, soft linen, modern beautiful bathrooms and candles to create an even more tranquil atmosphere, games & colouring books for our daughter. The four of us ( incl. 7 month baby and 4 year old) loved this holiday! We arrived stressed from city life and left feeling calm, relaxed & rejuvenated! We had time to read, enjoy the spectacular view, play footy on the grass, share drinks & dinner with our hosts, walk to nearby farms to see the cows, bush walk in a nearby Reserve, make friends with the alpacas, visit the Channon Markets, spend a day in Byron, walk to Protestor Falls and explore the neighbouring villages. We highly recommend staying here!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. We loved the peace and quiet away from the hub of Byron Bay, which was still accessible by car easily, and our daughter loved the animals. We will be back. Thank you Dawn and Neil

We stayed in 6 different air bnbs over 2 weeks and Dawn and Neil and their beautiful accommodation was by far the best! We literally did not want to leave. They had breakfast, milk, tea coffee, cookies a beer and champagne for us on our arrival as well as games and books for us and the kids. The company over sunsets drinks just as lovely as the incredible views. Highly recommend. Thank you Dawn and Neil, we'll be back!

Wow. Blown away by this place. Overlooking a beautiful valley, you stay in an entirely separate wing of the house which is above and beyond 5* quality. It's exceptionally clean, beautifully furnished and it just feels like love and care has gone into every aspect of the place. Thoughtful little details like fresh milk for your tea, a selection of cds and dvds to choose from and comfy robes in the wardrobes show how much Dawn and Neil want you to enjoy your stay. As hosts they are fantastic, giving you privacy whenever you want it but also making you very welcome to share a cup of tea and a chat or feed the pet alpacas and sheep. We had a most wonderful evening sitting outside on the patio eating woodfired pizza from the local village and drinking the complimentary wine that we were welcomed with. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but the lovely local village of Clunes is only a kilometre away. To top it all off Dawn has set this up to support the bereaved families and long-term carers that she works with, who use the retreat to recuperate free of cost, so we were pleased to learn that our visit is supporting that aim. We will definitely stay again.

We had a lovely and very relaxing couple of days at the Highland Retreat. It's a beautiful home away from home. Very comfortable, modern, clean and welcoming. The views are amazing. The local general store is very close and had fabulous stock, coffee and we had our dinner there on Friday & Saturday night. We enjoyed a great burger at nearby Eltham pub for lunch. A wonderful little village community. Thank you Dawn & Neil!

Staying at Dawn and Neil's was amazing. Our kids and us had such a great time, enjoying the beautiful view and the luxurious apartment. Our daughters had a blast running around, playing with the dogs, and discovering alpacas and sheep for the first time. We also had great chats with Dawn and Neil who were so welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to fully recharge batteries.

High luxury in the hinterland - the bedrooms and ensuites are proper 5 star hotel comfort, you can self cater and just sit on the veranda with your favourite drink taking in that valley view all the way to the lights of Lismore. Seriously quiet location yet central hinterland location - only ten minutes to Federal, 15 to Bangalow or 20-25 to Byron. Thanks Dawn and Neal for your hospitality.

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.

Christine was warm and welcoming and her home felt like a home away from home. The bed and pillow were very comfortable and I had a wonderful nights sleep. I was treated to light breakfast and nice strong coffee in the morning. The views over Ballina from Christie's home are lovely. I can highly recommend this accommodation.

Thank you for a warm and friendly stay! I thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful home and lovely company Christine. Will def. stay again :)

Christine is loveliest host I have ever met! Very friendly, open, helpful, supportive , kind and generous too. On my birthday when I was with her she gave me her hand made loveliest gift which was totally unexpected. It shows how kind hearted, caring and generous she is. I have appreciated about her qualities to all my colleagues and friends in Brisbane and would highly recommend homestay at Christine's place. I would definitely visit her place if I go through Ballina . Thanks Guneeta

Great host, great location , great experience.

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.

I had a very relaxed stay at Christine's. Although we did not spend much time together, thank you for trusting me to stay in your home when you had other responsibilities, for making the effort to come and meet me and for the restaurant suggestions and local tips. The room was cosy and comfortable and I slept extremely well. I'd love to come back next time I'm in Ballina.

Christine's accommodation was a delightful treasure. She made me feel so welcome and comfortable. I'm definately coming back.

Nadine's place is great value for money, with in walking distance to all major shops. I would definitely recommend a stay here.

Nadine is very friendly. And the room is clean and tidy. Everything is new recommend to have a stay!

Nadine was lovely to communicate with and the apartment was very clean and light plus close to town which was extremely convenient.

Great place to stay in Ballina. Easy to communicate with Nadine, comfortable well-equipped unit

Nadine's place is perfect for a getaway to Ballina and the surrounding area. The unit was clean and well equipped if you wish to be self-sufficient. The neighbourhood is peaceful and it is very conveniently located within short walking distance to Ballina town centre and not far from plenty of beautiful beaches. Communication was not a problem and I was able to extend my stay with no hassle. Highly recommend staying here if you are looking for somewhere to base yourself whilst exploring this beautiful area

Very accommodating host!

Perfect AirBnB - great location, great host and beautiful place to stay. Tracy was flexible with our check in / out times and super helpful. Can't fault this AirBnB and would definitely recommend it!

Tracy has a wonderful and homely apartment for rent on Airbnb. Tracy is a very easy person to communicate with and is quite accommodating.

We were very grateful to have been able to stay at Tracy's place and valued all the texts prior to arrival letting us know the best places to visit and eat. We had a great night's sleep, woke up refreshed and ready to continue our trip in the morning.

Great house in a perfect location with a very friendly and helpful host. Thanks Tracy.

We really enjoyed our stay at Tracy's place in Ballina. The unit is cosy, quiet, and has everything you might need. It's just a short drive (or ride, on the bikes provided!) to the town and the river, which is a beautiful spot to walk along, or just sit by with a beer and watch the world go by. There are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants nearby.

We stayed at Tracy's 1910 restored house or bungalow where we could unwind in a really handy location only a couple of blocks from the river, cafes and supermarket. Check in went smoothly with Tracy explaining some of the best cafes and beaches in the area. The family loved the bicycles and the two dogs.

Neighbourhood is quiet. Hosts house sitter welcomed us. Accommodation is at the back of the house.

Tracy was most helpful, she kept in contact ahead of our arrival, gave us plenty of tips whilst we were there and was very accommodating. We loved our little apartment, it was very quiet, comfortable, a nice temperature inside, had all we needed, was a 10 min walk to the shops though there were bikes if we wanted to use them.

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.

Great unit in Ballina. Close to everything and very well appointed.

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's apartment is fantastic and she was a dream host. Had everything we could have possibly needed and is in a great location. Supermarket 2 mins walk and a range of great local restaurants very close by. Beach 5 mins drive away too. Undercover, secure parking and double glazed sliding doors meant a silent apartment at night for our baby to get a peaceful night sleep. We loved staying here and will definitely be back, 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 were looking for a relaxing few days away and Wendy couldn't have been a better host. She messaged us a few days beforehand and was very accommodating with our check in time. The place was exactly as described - we wouldn't have minded being a little closer to Byron but it was very conveniently located near shops and restaurants. Would definitely come back!

The host made us feel very welcome. We had fresh fruit, wine, snacks, eggs, milk etc on arrival perfect start to a wonderful stay. The unit was spacious and had everything we needed. The kids loved the pool and we loved the relaxing huts by the pool. Great value and perfect location we would definitely stay again

Wendy was a great host. Apartment was good size and neat and clean - i came here with kidz and they really enjoyed the stay.

Immediately after the booking i already had a message with all details. We where even offered to be pickt up and drove to our stay. Heather and Jim are very good hosts and we felt more then welcome. We had an amazing time. The location is very central and Ballina offers access to all places in this area, like byron bay.

Perfect hosts. Would thoroughly recommend staying there. Place was clean, neat, tidy and comfortable.

Katja was a great host, very attentive and approachable. Her rural location is picturesque and yet only 20 minutes from the bustle of Byron, the perfect contrast. Our studio apartment was spacious and well equipped, and the sofa bed was bigger than average and. Comfortable for our tall son. Breakfast was a great experience, overlooking the valley and comprising local produce and amazing home made pancakes - nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend and hope to return.

Katja is a wonderful host. Welcoming, warm and very accommodating to our needs. The guesthouse suite is extremely comfortable and the view was incredible. Your girls are gorgeous and we wish you all the very best in your life up north. Thank you for providing such a warm and welcoming home.

Thanks so much Katja and your beautiful girls for welcoming us into your guest house. It was a great spot for peace and tranquility and to base ourselves to be able to explore what the northern rivers paradise of NSW has to offer. Our homemade breakfast was superb. The only thing we would offer as a suggestion would be a more comfortable couch to cosy up on and watch tv in the evening.

Beautiful views and lovely spot. Katja and the girls are wonderful hosts and you'll have everything you need.

Katja was an amazing host and all round wonderful person. The view from the room was spectacular.

Best stay ever. Great location. Fabulous hosts. Will definitely be back again

Beautiful place, amazing view, delicious breakfast, Katja could not be anymore accommodating. Thank you for your hospitality.

Katjia's place was beautiful with the most glorious and ever changing views both day and night. A great place to relax, unwind and watch the sunrise, morning mist, and most amazing star filled sky. My family and I stayed over Easter to celebrate my birthday and attend the Byron Blues Festival. Katja is a wonderful host. She provided excellent communication before we arrived and we were able to drop our bags off early. The place itself had everything we needed, especially those magical views. Katja made us an amazing breakfast each morning, served by herself and her daughters. Imagine french crepes, apple strudel, eggs from her chickens, fruits, cheese, good bread etc - yum! Clunes is close enough to the action of Byron, but far enough away to relax, with a nice general store and second hand bookstore- and a short drive to Eltham pub and beautiful Eltham Valley Pantry. Truly a relaxing place to stay- thanks Katja I wish you all the best with your b n b business.

place had everything we needed for a weekend away. overall a good little stay- thanks

Wendy and Martin were good hosts.

Wonderful retreat with privacy and hospitality. The little touches of hosts who care about their guests made this an amazing stay. Wonderful space, brilliant atmosphere, homey comforts.

Nice quiet stay.

Great option for price --very peaceful and quiet.

Martin and Wendy were great hosts! Everything about their place was good. Wendy has thoughtfully provided an amazing choice of breakfast foods.....and even a few extras like a sweet bikkie to eat with a coffee. We have no hesitation in recommending Martin and Wendy's place.

Martin and Wendy have created a great space. It was perfect for my needs. Martin was very welcoming and both were great communicators with texting which I appreciated very much. Thank you both.

Quiet, well set up .......helpful nice people......all good

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

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.

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!

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

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 name says it all! Tucked away in a quiet street surrounded by nature and amazing sunset views! If you want a relaxing experience then this is the place to go! The secluded location of the street, which is about a 2 minute drive to Lennox Head town, is perfect to escape the hustle and bustle of inner town Airbnb’s. A simple and serene space! The hosts were very friendly and were quick to answer any questions we had. We especially loved the little bundle of goodies we were greeted with upon arrival – such a thoughtful addition to a fabulous stay. It has everything you need to feel right at home including kitchen with a small oven and twin hot plate and even a washing machine! Large TV, good wifi, comfy bed and simple and quirky decorative touches. We will be back!

The fig tree hideaway was cozy, spacious, and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Adam was gracious and very accommodating. The location is quiet and secluded (and so, word to the wise: bring insect repellent!). Would highly recommend!
