We had a comfortable and enjoyable stay at the property
The room was okay overall, but the best part was definitely the location — the beach is just nearby, and Byron Bay town centre is only about a 10-minute walk away. It was also great to have access to a BBQ area and a pool, which made the stay more enjoyable.
Large comfortable room with all the necessary facilities and very close walking distance to Byron Bay's main street. Back gate access to the beach and a nice pool as a bonus.
Great little spot, our family room was clean & comfortable (despite being dated, which I had anticipated), staff were really friendly and such a convenient location - very short walk to the beach and centre of town.

Room was spotless and due to brick walls it was very quiet. Lots of extra little amenities like cutlery, bbq area, cookies, beach umbrellas etc. Had a couple really good nights sleep beds were comfy!
Room offers everything you need, very spacious and bright bathroom. Great Location, 2min walk to the beach and in town.

Room was clean and spacious. It provided all the amenities we needed for a very comfortable stay. The gals at the front desk were lovely and very helpful. The location is perfect. 2 mins walk to the beach and 5 mins walk to town. Ended up staying an !exyra night
We loved our stay here - biggest benefit is proximity to town and the beach. Loved it.
If mattresses and curtains were replaced/upgraded this place would be perfect!
Nice and clean.
