McKinnon on the Bay @ East Ballina
McKinnon on the Bay is located in a quiet area of Shaws Bay, a 500 metrewalk to the beach and Ballina surf club, and a short drive to Ballina central were you will find all your requirements such as retail shopping, cinemas, clubs and activities.

There is a maze of paths to explore around the bay, out the wall, along the beaches and river and into Ballina. If you are into fishing, there are plenty of opportunities for that too.
This home has all you need for a relaxing holiday. Three bedrooms, one full bathroom and a second toilet and shower, kitchen and large outdoor undercover area to enjoy family Bbq's. When it gets too hot, enjoy the air-conditioned family space. We are pet friendly so bring your pooch.

Walk to everything
This is a great place to stay for a family, comfortable, spotlessly clean, spacious and a perfect location if you want to just walk out the door and be on the beach. Within a short stroll you have the surf beach, sheltered Shaw’s Bay, coastal walks, playgrounds cafes and fishing spots. There’s a good covered barbeque area, an enclosed backyard. Stock up on supplies in town and you can leave the car parked for your whole stay.

Peaceful long weekend
We stayed at McKinnon by the Bay for a long weekend in February. We found the place to be clean, comfortable and within easy access to everything we needed. The bonus for us was that it is pet friendly. There was 2 off leash dog areas one was a park near the townhouse the other was on the Ballina side of the bridge on the water although we did go to Lennox for a really good off leash beach called 7 mile beach there was surf and sand for our dog to really enjoy. The townhouse was clean and very quiet which was really nice for a relaxing break.

Clean with all the necessities. I don't like the linen being two sheets and hot water ran out daily after the 5 of it's had showers etc. Backyard was great for the dog. Well provisioned.
