Great spot but lacking extras
Check in after house was not good. On arrival there was no key pad for the code given and the gate was locked. Took us 40min to get in/ to find a resident.garage remote was inside the unit and didn’t The unit is spacious and lovely decor but a huge negative was no aircon. Ceiling fans in bedrooms only ( none in living rooms) so it was sweltering. No security screens on sliding doors doors so couldn’t leave place open if we went for a swim, at night etc. We were given some standing fans but I had to go hire portable air con from Ballina. No beach towels, no umbrellas etc ( all other places we stay in each year in Byron supply these) A small table near the back door with no chairs. No sun lounges or anything around the pool. Pillows were very hard and one was very dirty! Broken rusty clothes airer, rusty dirty washing machine, cobwebs and cockroaches. Such a disappointment because it looked great online. Lovely retro decor, great spot across from Clarkes beach and close to the pass but for the price…. Owners need to upgrade. We will stay elsewhere next time for that price.

Great location to Clarke's beach and the Pass! The property itself has everything you could possibly need for a 5 day stay! Very clean and comfortable. Would recommend this to families or groups of friends wanting a property with space and great location.
