A close 5 minute drive to the Ballina/Byron Gateway airport, 15 minute drive to Lennox Head and Newrybar and just a 20-30 minute drive to Byron Bay. We’re a block away from the boat ramp so ideal for boat lovers and just minutes from North Creek cycle/walk way to Shaws Bay, lighthouse and Shelly beach. Contrary to its name, the Loft boasts natural light and space, immersed high on the second level of our private Ballina dwelling. You will have your own driveway which leads to your separate private entry into the loft. Soak up the coastal breeze or enjoy a late afternoon BBQ, whilst listening to the native birdlife on your very own L shaped balcony with day bed, lounge and massive 8 seater alfresco dining table. The Loft features a fully equipped kitchen complete with Smeg Lavazza coffee machine, toaster and kettle as well as all the cooking utensils and necessities you should require for both a short or long term stay. The Pantry is stocked with all your basics, containing but not limited to herbs and spices, sugar, breakfast condiments, paper towel, cling wrap, baking paper and foil, and some little sweet surprises. Enjoy the complimentary continental breakfast on your first morning with milk, yoghurt and local Brookfarm muesli. In the main room, you will find a reverse cycle air conditioned room with ceiling fan and heavenly queen size bed with tempur mattress adorned with quality linen, cashmere and organic cottons from some of our favourite brands which will guarantee you get a good nights rest. The second bedroom is complete with a ceiling fan and desk fan and two king single beds both with high quality bedding which can also conveniently be configured as a king bed if you have two couples. Please let us know which configuration you would prefer when booking. The bathroom will entice you to relax and unwind in the original claw foot bath after a busy day exploring the local beaches and hinterland. The open lounge overlooks the native trees where you can watch the beautiful bird life. Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning will keep you both cool in the summer months and warm in the winter months and the TV is set up for full access to Netflix, Disney Plus, Kayo and Wi fi for all your viewing needs. We are more than happy to accommodate families and children and can happily set up a safety stair rail and or small high/low chair. The only joining door to our residence is at the bottom of the stairs, which will remain locked at all times throughout your stay. We have two children ourselves aged 9 and 6 in which during your stay you may hear their or our squeals of joy ;). We are here should you need anything at all but respect your privacy and will not bother you unless you wish to interact. We love to host and aim to set the bar high for your stay and ensure you have a memorable experience here at Ballina Loft. The loft has its own driveway for parking, if you have more than one vehicle there is plenty of street parking in the cul-de-sac. We have a lock box so you can enter and exit as you please. Please let us know if there is anything else you require for your stay, we’re here for you should you need. As we live below in the main house we are available to assist you in any way should you need. If we are not around in person, we are always available through phone or text should you need any assistance. We have small children ourselves and are very family friendly and if your children would like to interact, ours would love it! Ballina is a little hidden gem, (often over shined by the popular Byron Bay), however, with the choice of so many different peaceful waterways accessible location and chilled vibe we actually rate it number 1 (but shhhh that’s our little secret ;) ... Shelly beach is a favourite of ours to swim and explore the rock pools. Take a walk up to Ballina' s beautiful little lighthouse at Shelly beach head lookout or grab the bikes and ride along the wall alongside lighthouse beach and discover Shaws Bay waterway and the beautiful Serpentine. Dolphin watching, whale watching, bird watching, surfing, jet skiing, fishing, river cruises, bike rides are among just a few, you won't be short of things to do and these are all just outside your doorstep when you stay with us in the Loft. The connecting highway just minutes from the loft will take you through the hills of the Byron hinterland where you can discover waterfalls and waterholes and some very beautiful tucked away villages such as Newrybar and Federal. you will have your own parking and separate driveway that leads into the Loft. The back yard is for our own private use. We do have a pool and you may hear the kids having fun in there. If you are here for a retreat without these kind of disturbances this is probably not for you, however if you would love to stay in a beautiful place that has been carefully curated for your needs, close to everything so you can get out and about and explore, this will be perfect. I can assure you we look after our guests and want you to feel completely at home within this space.
