The middle of the week is generally when things are at their most unenjoyable. This is when that to-do list at work inexplicably triples and when miscalculations in your weekly shop become most evident. If you're ever going to find yourself stranded with a flat tyre at a busy intersection, this is when it's going to happen. So doesn’t it make sense that we'd want to bypass this bitter period and change scenery to the beautiful beachside?

Of course it does! Grab the fam' or a bunch of your best pals and make their day by telling them you've lined up a three night midweek stay for four at the beautiful Ballina Beach Village. $299 is all it going to cost you to stay in a self-contained Family Standard Cabin, with all linen supplied and furnishing meticulously maintained to 3.5 Star standards. Ballina Beach Village boasts facilities that are second to none, including a huge camp kitchen, two pools, two amenities blocks, laundries, a well-stocked kiosk and a café.

A bottle of wine on arrival is a nice touch, sure to get things off to a great start. Employ pedal power to great effect and zip around Ballina with bike hire included for the four of you. Breakfast and coffee vouchers for two people will ensure you start one of the days deliciously. And, for your convenience, parking for one car is included, as is Wi-Fi access to keep you connected with the real world. There's no need to leave Fido at home because Ballina Beach Village is the most pet-friendly holiday village in Australia!

Two vouchers may be redeemed at the same time to extend you stay to six nights, and Friday/Saturday stays can be arranged for a $60 surcharge, however please note that both of these options are subject to availability. You can also upgrade your stay to a Superior Cabin for just $30 per night, payable direct to Ballina Beach Village, if you're really looking to live it large!

Yoga Retreat upgrades are also available, with prices starting at $179. Yoga Retreats are avaliable on the following fixed dates - 8th to 11th May 2012 and 20th to 23rd May 2012, with additional dates scheduled as required. Please contact Ballina Beach Village for more information.

Also, if there are more members of your troupe you'd like to bring along, up to three additional guests may be catered for in your cabin at $10 per person, per night. Children under the age of one can stay on existing bedding at no additional cost, with Portable Cot Hire available for $10 per night.

Ballina Beach Village is located on the primary dune behind the endless South Ballina Beach - known as the best left hand surf break in Australia. Every year surfers from around the globe come to experience this world famous beach! It is a short walk from your cabin (about four to eight minutes on foot).

Your cabin is opposite the wide and serene Mobbs Bay on the Richmond River where you can kayak, paddle board, surf, bike and kite surf on the beach, river and surroundings. The sports hire centre will kit you out with everything you need. Also close to Ballina is the home of the Byron Arts Circus and Flying Trapeze School!
