Economical accommodations and a great location!

We had a brief one-night stay on our way up the coast. Excellent location in town. Nice to fix morning coffee and walk across the street to stroll the wonderful beach. Front staff mate was excellent (Davie?). Very quiet location and convenient to everything we needed!

Manager was amazing fixing up a booking error, room was clean only let down was how bright the lights where coming from out side and making it hard to sleep. Overall was a nice place to stay

Fantastic location! Can’t get any better- literally 60 steps to the beach! Staff were very friendly and helpful- especially helping with car parking as we had boards and a ski on roof- they made sure we felt secure and offered alternative parking if we didn’t. Room had a little kitchenette which was so good. Bed was comfortable, it’s an older motel but they have updated it so feels fresh and modern. Will definitely book again

2/10 Poor

The location was great. The checkin staff were great. Sleep was non existing due to surrounding noise. We checked out after one night and cut our stay short. Would not bother staying again. Very disappointed

6/10 Good

A very well located property. Quite dated though. Needed a broom in the room as sand was easily transferred into the rooms and no way of sweeping it up.

Great location in the heart of Byron Bay. No ramps or lift to the apartments. Steps only 😕
Warren, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Pros: The location is the best part of this place, across the street from the beach and walking distance to the restaurants. The room was very simple but comfy enough and clean. Staff was very friendly. Con: Booked through Expedia because it is advertised there that there's a pool on the property (there's even a photo of the said pool). I chose this property mainly for that reason, since we have a young child that obviously loves a pool. But there's no pool and the hotel refused to give any refund due to FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. Expedia was helpful and at least provided a few point for compensation. Wifi wasn't working
