The property is showing its age but the room was clean and functional. Staff were friendly and it was only a quick walk into town, to the beach, or to tourist spots and hikes. Good value for the money.

First visit to Byron Bay
Average place needs TLC. On site parking, main road so care needs to be taken entering and exiting driveway. Walk to beach was ok, but cross railway tracks can incur fine $1K. Only scenery train runs.

Great location, easy to walk into town. Rooms and exterior are simple, may need a little TLC, but can’t fault the staff who very helpful.
