Cottage vacation rentals in Ballina

Fantastic experience from pre-check in to check out. This is a fantastic property, as advertised, located in a magical location (a few steps from the Twin Falls trailhead). Our host Ali was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. I cannot recommend this property enough to explore Springbrook National Park and the amazing waterfalls.

This is the perfect place if you want a quiet getaway. Chris and Marg are such lovely hosts and you can tell they take care of the cottage with so much love. The cottage is in such a picturesque valley and the patio is the perfect place just to relax and enjoy the stunning landscape. The spa is lovely and Chris and Marg have tonnes of suggestions for things to do in the area or books and entertainment if you’d rather stay at home. A little bit of a drive away but Springbook National Park is well worth a hike also.

The cottage was perfect, close to the beach and cafes/restaurants with a beautiful walk into town. The hosts were so responsive and provided great flexibility with booking. Thank you!

We had a beautiful stay, Sharon is a wonderful host baking fresh bread, providing milk and making sure we knew where everything was! We ordered the BBQ platter as well which was incredible, we had been camping prior to arriving so not having to think about dinner for us and the three kids was phenomenal. The kids loved the spa too! Highly reccommend! Thanks Sharon :)

A gorgeous place with everything we needed - such a nice and comfortable getaway spot. Hosts were responsive and flexible with check out time which we appreciated.

Just like staying in a fairytale cottage. Extremely comfortable, lovely energy and beautifully decorated. Nestled in a very friendly, vibrant and artistic community. Wonderful cafe/restaurant right next door. Enjoyed my stay very much, I will be back for sure.

We had such a nice time at Windaboo! The place is so beautiful and is something very special indeed. The cottage, the grounds and the peaceful connection with nature was so relaxing. Skye is such a fun and gracious host. We look forward to coming back and enjoying this wonderful place again soon. Thank you Skye!

Jeanine was most accomodating at all times. The studio was well appointed with a comfortable King size bed. For me,the pillows could have been softer, but saying that, I feel they would be comfortable for most people. The bathroom is very clean and modern as is the kitchen with all amenities that may be required. I have no hesitation in recommending this airbnb, there was nothing at all that did not meet our expectation. The studio has a lovely private view of treetops and local birdlife when viewed from the interior or sitting on the decking, complete with cushioned chairs and a table. Well priced. We would visit again. Thankyou Jeanine.

My daughter and I enjoyed a night at Jen’s cottage after 4 days of exploring NSW. We especially appreciated the spa bath and bath salts. Honestly, I booked this cottage as a spot to pamper ourselves after some long days of driving. It was perfect! The glass and deck around half the cottage created a feeling of openness and calm. Before we melted into all of this, I took advantage of being able to do some laundry and as this was our last night of travel, it meant I could return home refreshed and with no laundry. As I sipped a glass of wine, I could hear some live music and laughter in the distance. This only added to our wonderful night.

Great place to stay for the weekend, close to all amenities, short walk. The extra little touches provided by Gayle make it extra special

absolutely beautiful location with plenty to do and see. if you're looking for a switch off or escape, i recommend.

Lovely cottage and well set up. I live a place that has generous facilities such as crockery cutlery and cooking condiments etc. We were able to use the outdoor bungalow which meant our adult family could spread out. Lots of bush turkeys did keep the dog occupied but that is Byron and certainly not unique to Kathy’s. The parking at the rear was very helpful given we have a 4 wheel drive. Loved the walk to the dog beach - so close and we had the opportunity to visit the farmers market on the reserve behind Kathy’s on a Thursday. Thanks again Kathy for the flexible check in and great communication.

We loved staying at Ann’ Seaview Cottage. Nested in the hills, tucked away from busy Byron yet only 15mn drive from it. It’s a serene place for rest and relaxation.

We absolutely loved staying at this beautiful property and couldn’t have asked for a better holiday. Both Jane & Amy were lovely and ready to help with whatever we needed. The property is so private and peaceful and the tennis court was a definite plus, such a treat getting to play tennis every day! We can’t wait to hopefully stay again!

Extremely peaceful and relaxing. Private and romantic too :) The perfect spot to unwind in a nature setting. I loved the country, homely feel inside. I also loved seeing the friendly kangaroos who got very close to the cottage at times.

This place is perfect little place, tucked away in nature for a relaxing break. Loads of country charm but also in touching distance of Byron and the coast if you want to get out and go places, do things. Jenny is an awesome host, very responsive and so helpful. Give it try people you'll love it

Arisa and Terrence’s place was really lovely, peaceful and private. Had all the amenities you would need and was the perfect distance between busier spots and/or attractions. Would absolutely stay here again

Julie’s property was more than we expected. It was a beautiful and quiet escape from the city, with peaceful sounds of nature and the running creek just behind the house. The home is beautifully decorated to feel rustic yet classic at the same time. We enjoyed the use of the bathhouse and fire pit that views the running creek. As well as getting to visit the donkeys Zeus and Wendell on the property, we were lucky enough to have cows from the paddock visit in the creek too. Julie kindly left us bacon, fresh eggs, tomato’s, mushrooms and onions for breakfast. The workers on her property were also kind enough to recommend the best swimming spots in the area that were walkable distance. We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t recommend it more. Hopefully we will be back in the future. Thank you Julie 🤍

We had a beautiful stay. The property was very clean, well presented and everything was as at the house that we needed. It was so peaceful and beautiful. Would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to escape the city.

We had an amazing stay at the house. The location was perfect, the house clean and a wonderful feeling to it. Deck was great to eat on. Helen was incredibly responsive and wonderful to communicate with. Would definitely recommend!

Our stay at the cottage was nothing short of perfect. Tucked away in a peaceful, private setting, it offered the perfect escape. One of the highlights was the stunning creek just steps from the cottage—ideal for a refreshing swim or simply lounging beside while listening to the soothing sounds of nature. The cottage itself was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It truly felt like a home away from home. Malcon was an exceptional host—warm, responsive, and incredibly helpful. His clear communication and thoughtful touches made everything smooth and stress-free from start to finish. If you're looking for a getaway with beautiful natural surroundings and a host who goes above and beyond, this is the place.

Beautifully presented home close to everything Palm beach has to offer! great for kids, they loved the ability to sign in to smart TV and watch their programs as well as play with the books and games :) very clean and tidy. beds were comfortable! exceptional property for the price :) would be very happy to stay again!
