Grandview Apartments

The location is perfect. 6 mins drive from Ballina town center in a quiet side street on a hill overlooking Shelly beach. We were in 301, and felt misled by the minimal ocean view blocked by trees and houses in front. The third floor is more like a 1st floor as the building is lower set than the street. The underground parking is nice and apartment was clean and modern. Let down by a dishwasher that did not work (staff was able to get it working once) and pans in terrible unusable condition. No coffee pod machine. No soap dispenser in bathroom just a 10 ml bottle and 1" hand soap to last 3 night stay. Would've expected better for close to 600 a night. Clearly individual apartments and facilities vary. The location was the only saving grace.

Great place to stay The apartment is amazing. Very modern and large. Very close to the beach. There were two things that could be improved: 1) check in instructions should be provided beforehand. We arrived after reception office hours and freaked out a bit as it's closed. Called the local numbers but went to answering machine. I saw there was a mobile number and I called there. Good thing it was picked up and advised where the keys was. They could've advised me beforehand how to get the keys in advance. 2) we found three live cockroaches during our stay. Perhaps some pest control would help. Other than that, the place was perfect.

Fastidiously clean complex everywhere. We stayed 5 nights in an air-conditioned ocean view 2 Bedroom apartment on the 6th floor. Also had River view at rear. A dedicated car park in secure underground car park. Reassuring with current spate of electrical storms. There was generous overflow parking on the street. Elevators. Lots of visible, hard working and pleasant Staff. Receptionist was thorough and pleasant. Spacious apartment had 2 large bathrooms and private balcony with fantastic ocean view to Shelly Beach. Huge open kitchen, dining, lounge area. All meticulous and user friendly. Large frig. Very quiet and lovely residential area near beaches and not in CBD which we liked but it was close to downtown for groceries and shopping. The RLS Club at Shelly had a coffee Cafe and Italian Restaurant Capiche nearby. Ballina is very beautiful with all the rivers, white sand inlets and ocean access. Lots of free parking. We visited many nearby towns and recommend Maclean particularly. We rode the fantastic Solar Train in Byron Bay and heartily recommend it.

Fresh and clean unit with modern fittings, friendly staff, view of the ocean and quiet. We would definitely stay again.

We booked a three bedroom apartment for five adults and a baby. Plenty of space for all. The apartment was superb with magnificent views to the ocean and over the river. Spotlessly clean and bedding was high quality and extremely comfortable. The staff checked with us by text before arrival with helpful tips and information. After checkout we left a baby mat and the staff contacted us and offered to post. Very friendly and went above and beyond.

Excellent spacious apartment. Secure parking in quiet location. Clean, comfortably appointed and well equipped. Comfortable beds and furniture. Definitely excellent value for money and would love to come back again
